I monogrammed these kitchen items this week and I thought they turned out neat! I can’t say that I’ve ever monogrammed an oven mitt before, but thanks to my fast frames I was able to add a little somthin-somthin to these otherwise khaki everyday pot holders (from Target)! I like the deep dark brown on the khaki – very Tuscan!
This week we had the pleasure of taking care of G’s class pet, Chester! I have to say it was actually fun keeping up with Chester and taking pictures of what we did. Jeff & I got a kick out of the fact that Chester spent the weekend in Mobile at Mardi Gras (with a classmate), then in this picture Monday night we are heading to church to our annual Missions Conference. From Mardi Gras to church is a little funny!? Eh? As you can see he is strapped in with “Bear”, another family animal. Seatbelt safety is key!
Chester learned about the upcoming mission trip to the Amazon!
Yesterday Chester went with us to take B to school, then to Chick Fil A and to see Dr. G for M’s 3 year checkup! Chester went back to school today but we got to journal about our time together. Mallory woke up a little sick today so I blame the CFA playground! Of course she could have gotten a bug at church, school, the Dr. office, Publix or any other number of places! She stayed home from school today and had a good nap and appears fine, but our morning was a little rough!
Now to the title of my post… am I the only one that totally wastes fabric every time I do an applique? BTW this is Riley Blake Quite Contrary fabric (love)! This is the AC Mermaid design.
So I trim around the “tail” of the mermaid and look at all the fabric I have left! Total waste of my favorite fabric! It has HNBL on it so I’m not sure if I can save it, but may keep it laying around in case I need it!
I’m working on some “work” today for the first time in about a week (other than the pot holders). I feel so distracted lately and it’s hard to get anything done! I spent the morning washing clothes and cleaning up the house. Plus, it was raining and storming so I was afraid to turn my machine on. Next week is Spring Break and the boys are in art camp 3 (half) days, so hopefully I can hunker down and get my work done! It has piled up on me and I have a couple more “jobs” coming in. That may be all I can do for a while. As it gets closer to the end of school the less time I will have! As I type this the phone just rang about another job. One more!! OK that may be it for a while! 🙂
