lil sewing, lil Liv, Lil Shamus, lil spider babies

3D flower 1^st try…

turned out adequate…next time I’m going to use larger stitches to try to get the belly button a bit tighter…this one (with the button) will probably go onto the quilt with a view since I made it with batik fabric…I’ll have to make at least 2 more so it will look fabulous, perhaps mix in one green petal to look like a leaf.

Look what Olivia can do…she is in such a hurry! She’ll be driving by next year! August 1^st 2012 she’s almost 9 months old!

Quilt with a View flower # 1, there will be 2 and they’ll both be different…you may have noticed the green background…these will be on either side of a sidewalk leading from the front door of the house on a lawn…I know what I want it to look like…lets hope it gets close! Block pattern from 300 paper pieced quilt block patterns by Carol Doak this is block # 103 this block is 2.5 inches square complete August 1^st 2012

Shamus so shaggy I can’t see his eyes any more…Hair cut on Saturday! August 1^st 2012

Look what greeted me this morning when I put Shamus out…a wee family of spiders hatched in the entryway…think I’ll leave the outside door open for a bit so they can find their way outside…they’re so tiny I don’t want to try to move them by hand…smaller than pin heads! August 2^nd 2012
