KikiPea that's awesome!! I did one for my sisters 2nd baby a while back,now I need to do something for her 3rd that's now three weeks. I usually do something with their name. I just am brain dead this time around with too much going on. I love these!! I love all the quilts too. I wish I had the patience for them but I love love them! I have a whole pintrest board of quilts! Love the ones the peas have done. You guys are super talented. I can't decide if I wanna do her name in vinyl or a book. It's for Ivy. So her name is short and easy!

Here are a few of the hats I've crocheted this summer. I have a box that held 10 reams of printer paper full of hats crocheted in the winter and spring. There's also a pair of fingerless mitts in there too. And heaven help me, but I stopped by Walmart to get dried thyme for a shepherd's pie recipe I'm making tomorrow and they had some of their yarn on sale. I got Super Saver for $1.50 and some others for 75 cents. I still haven't figured out that she who dies with the most yarn still dies. I love the scrapghan too. I'm doing one but as one large granny square rather than individual ones. I still struggle with tension and I'm afraid my squares wouldn't fit together well if I did them individually. I sew a little too and have started making shoe bags and flip-flop bags for Christmas presents. They keep your footwear from dirtying up your clothes in a suitcase.

I still haven't figured out that she who dies with the most yarn still dies. I am the same, except with fabrics. I just love, love, love fabric! The shoe bags are really cute! I've been working on some paper pieced stars for a Milky Way quilt. Have gotten 7 done so far, just another 6 to go. Need to get back into the sewing room this week and finish those. I have pics of the first 6 I've made and will post those in just a few minutes.

JoP, love your profile picture I've spend all of August altering band bibbers (the pants). I got about 30 out of 132 done.... I got one and half glove done so far: http://instagram.com/p/BXWdLCZH5v9 I started this and didn't like it so I tossed it: http://instagram.com/p/BXbY9YmHv2M I'm going to start a cross stitch for DH's cousin's wedding. We got a last minute invite. Well, is it considered last minute when they're getting married 3 months after they got engaged? Regardless, I have to get it done by Sept 1. And get the other 100 pants for the band done by Sept 8. And get some more stuff knitted up before my first craft show in October. Anyways... this is the cross stitch pattern I bought. I'm swapping out colors. www.etsy.com/listing/275163782/wedding-cross-stitch-pattern-love-tree?ref=hp_rf

Not really a project but DH and I took an 2-hour acrylic painting class this past Saturday and had a ball. Here is the finished product. Now we're waiting to get a good deal on acrylic paints at Michaels and go to town!! ETA: I've never painted anything besides a wall so this was very exciting for me. I have been to three paint parties. None of my paintings looked anything like yours. You did a great job!

I like your tree @dknitter. Will you pick it up again? I like the wedding piece too. I was making a cushion for friends who are getting married but I don't think I'll finish before the wedding as there are things which must take precedence now.

I'm going to sign up for her Thanksgiving *give thanks* painting and a snowman painting for Christmas.

A pic of a few small makes this week. Dragged out the old Parchment craft tools and made a Sympathy card and a Wedding horse shoe. Then there is a Wedding garter made from Tulle and lace and spray coloured with Promarker pen, finally Fimo daisies on a headband. Now to clear up the resulting chaos. Attachments:

My almost finished quilt top for dgn and a bity one for her baby dolls. This is my first time quilting! Obviously I should have planned from the middle out but didn't. I've put it away until October so I may go back and fix it.

You guys inspired me to work on my projects for my newest neice, and i decided to do one for each of them! I'll have to tell ya a ll why I have the puffed up Owls. They are a 'thing in my family' with my mom. So I just need to fgure out how I wanna put them on their. And it's on the card. anyway so here's the start to my project. I also wanna do the meaning of their names but I haven't figured out how to do that if I can. The wood is 6x6 and then it's paint pattern paper with the wood letters. Also 6 in. I really like the size. There names are Violet, Juniper and Ivy(the newest. The bigger puffier flower are for my SILbday card and a get well card for my friend. It's SOO nice to be doing stuff! f
