Yesterday was Friday Night Sew-In but for me it was an all-day sew-in. I left around 8:30am to sew with my friends in Edwardsville. It lasted all day with me getting home around 8:30pm. I'd like to say that I ended with sewing with my virtual friends. Life is good!
I should have taken pictures of all the meals served to us but suffice it to say that it started with a light breakfast. I did manage a picture of my plate before devouring my entire "light breakfast".
What did I work on? A little, quilted children's book called Safari Life. Keep in mind I've never done one of these so-called easy projects. Apparently I picked a doozy though because other quilters would walk by and say, "Wow! That one certainly has a lot to it!" Leave it to me to pick out a difficult, labor-intensive book for my first. Want to see a couple of pictures? Of course you do!
As you might tell, it's a very interactive book with flaps leading to secondary pictures. It was fun to make but IT.TOOK.ALL.DAY!!!! Would I make another one? I guess the answer to that would be a YES because I bought two sets to make. Go, Me!
The trees are starting to change color and the sky was a brilliant blue this morning. I took this picture on my walk this morning.
One day last week I was feeling a little down in the dumps so Gracie & I took a different route home. Check out this house in my subdivision that I saw going home an alternate way.
Cracked me up which was just what I needed. It must be true -- laughter truly is the best medicine!
Have a great weekend!
Linking up with Angela for Super Scrappy Saturday here even though I wasn't all that scrappy!

Your book looks great - good luck with the second one! Great Halloween decorating. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lin. I'm sure the 2nd book will be easy peasy because now I'm "experienced"! *wink*
DeleteCongratulations on finishing your book. I try to go for a walk most days - weather depending of course - I find it does make a difference and clears my head.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks fabulous! You're going to fly along with the next one.

OMG! I love that book!!! I'll buy the other one off you if you don't want it.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I spotted this panel right down at OSew Personal in Collinsville! Of course, Jackman's also has it. I'm not getting rid of my extra. Just saying right now! 😉
DeleteYour light breakfast looks delicious. It's one I would eat but would probably not make for myself.
ReplyDeleteThe children's book looks adorable and very appealing to a child.
The spider web looks huge. People are so energetic for Halloween these days.
I know! There are so many wonderfully decorated houses in the neighborhood right now!
