Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real

Pretty

I made these to sell on Etsy. (I'm going to set up a shop in late June.) Two are medium yellow and one is bright orange.

Happy

Arie has six teeth! And she can whoop like an Indian and looooooves bannanas. She's getting accomplished.

Real

I almost always manage to cook things that are edible and look like they will be when they're cooking. (Except for beans. Beans don't work, even when Lizzie helps me, and she's great with beans.)

But, a couple weeks ago, I spilled olive oil from baking potatoes in the oven and it smoked a ton. I sat down in front of the oven to make sure that if/when the oil did catch fire, I would see it and holler for Mom to come put it out. This is what the growlery looked like after the smoke detectors went off, windows opened, and the fan got turned on.

Yay! New Fabric!

I got my first charm-packs in the mail today. (And a template for Lizzie's quilt. I didn't need the template, but it'll make life easier.)

I'm saving them for a while, though.

Before using the charm-packs, I'm making myself finish quilting this:

And have to put borders on these two quilts:

And cut out Lizzie's quilt and finish piecing mine. (I'm making myself one for my bed because the one I have has been around since I was four and it's starting to run out of life.)

Also, I finished Dad's Christmas present from last year. (He got to unwrap it, but it wasn't nearly done. Mostly because I ran out of time and energy.)
