Day 218 - These are my people....

Summer means family reunions in hot garages, wonderful potlucks,
 too many photo ops and long car drives...
Today was an 8 hour (round trip) to Tyler, MN.
These are my people.

Car crafting....

Day 217 - 1st birdhouse

Completed the first birdhouse for the chuch Christmas bazaar tonight.  Just needs to be decoupaged on the bottom.



Day 216 - Craft Group

Got together tonight with my monthly craft group.  Verna was missing as she was on her way to a funeral "up north".  Lois worked on little plastic canvas/ribbon bookmarks, Carol worked on her Watertower book (this page featuring the "Witche's Hat" watertower) and I worked on making patterns for little birdhouse coverings and started covering one of the birdhouses.  A good evening of sharing.

Day 215 - Cuting and sewing

I sewed up the evenweave squares with the cotton batt in the center and have a nice second stack of them.

Then revisited the box of fabric...


Ended up with a pile of 5" blocks, 4" blocks and random strips.
