*Went to an antique flea market and found a yo-yo quilt which was so cute, had to try to make a yo yo. they are so fun and super easy. I see more of these in my future.
*Antique doily and embroidered runners purchased at the flea market. Such pretty work.
*My little guy had his first day of school and it went well (except he already lost his lunch box). A bit hard on me and his sis but we are adjusting.
*Fall is really fast approaching. Sad to see summer go and a bit excited too!
*Some scrappy cards made after reading Denyse Schmidts book.
*I also made the oven mitt in the book however I can't seem to find the photo that I took.
I will have to show you another time. I was really proud of myself. It is the first "thing" I have ever made!
I will let you know what I am doing with it and the scrappy cards in another post. It makes me happy to think about it!

very fun way to look at your week-FULL OF COLOR AND VIBRANCE!
This is all such great stuff! Little boy in school! Hope he loves it. And I hope you found the lunchbox. Now I am thinking maybe oven mitts for holiday gifts? Were they reasonably easy?
Its nice to read about what you've been up too. What a lovely montage! I love the cute embroidery.
Love your shots from the week-fall finds, first day of school, quilt cards! I have heard yo-yo's are addicting!
Peace, Angela
I love how you have collaged these pieces of your life into one beautiful collection. Glad you are trying new things!
what a lovely list. fall? what is that? The only sign of Fall here in Texas is in Hobby Lobby. lol
and I really love your blog banner, the colors are so soothing.
Hi! What a lovely collage of sweet pictures, so simply conveying where you are right now in time and life. You have such a skill for collage work, I love your new blog banner!
Quick question, do you know why I can't subscribe to your blog's RSS feed? Maybe it is a problem on my end.
The interview is done and I'm just fine tuning (read: getting husband's input:) and then I'll get to you by email tonight.
