My saturday!

My saturday.  My Day!  Isn't it sad that you have to actually mark a day on the calendar to make time for yourself?  That's what I got to do to get a day to myself.  So my saturday is here, and I was able to finish up the girls easter dresses.  A couple of weeks ahead too I might add, no scrambling for this grandma.

My grandson's 5th birthday is next week.  And he asked for a starwars helmet and a light saber.  So grandma just finished his thought and made him a darth vader cloak to go with them all.  Excuse the easter dress, the hanger was handy for draping the cloak and taking a picture.

Then I deceided I was going to organize my stash.  I started it a couple weeks ago when I got the accu quilt cutter.  But still a couple totes to go through.  And what did I find????

These scrap blocks that I had started two years ago.  I just packed them away for the day I was going to be able to sew them into a quilt.  So ofcourse I had to stop what I was doing and get them sewed together.  I had to!  They were in the tote I was trying to organize.  Now I don't have to worry about putting them back in the tote.......................                                         



This quilt turned out pretty cool.  Not bad.  The first one probably could of matched more, but thast's why they call them scrap quilts.  I feel like I got so much accomplished today.

And tomorrow will be spent in green bay with my daughter and son in law.  They closed on their new home  a couple days ago and now they want to paint before moving in.  So mom said she would help.  Or maybe be the sidewalk forman......

Home Sweet Home

The table topper is finished for my daughter and son in law's new home.  Next week sunday we start the painting prior to the move in.  And this topper is all done and I think it will look just beautiful in their new kitchen perhaps with a vase full of flowers.  What do you think????

And I got one of two easter outfits done for the grand daughters.  This is a short dress to be worn with leggings.  It is so easy and cute, I could not believe how quickly it went together.  You just use a t-shirt and fill it in with ruffles.............so cute!
The pieces for the second one are all  cut out and ready to be sewed on the second t-shirt.  But after spending the afternoon outside in this beautiful weather raking the lawn (yes I am pushing it) I am tired.
Early to bed for me.
