Zippered mini iPad case

iPad mini cover

Because I can't find a zippered cover for my mini iPad with Smart Cover I decided to make my own. I love that my Janome Horizon has this special even-feed foot.

Hmmm, wonder what the story is

Sir Lancelot searching for Queen Guinevere call Lancelot at . . .

Do one thing every day that scares you

Found my one thing scary for the day. I am scared of these bridges that swing an wobble. I crossed it twice. :)

Ready to get dirty again!

So cute! For now

Scared up a mama mouse and her wee ones. She is adorable, as are her babies but I don't want them in my house.

Cabbage rolls

Went out to the garden this morning to see what I could find.



Made up some cabbage rolls and put them in the slow cooker.



Boy they are smelling goooooooood!

Relaxing evening

Owl keychain

Sorry Mr. snowman I guess you get a break. I couldn't resist the cute little owl at the checkouts of the coach store.

Friday Find - Vintage Director's Chair

Found this vintage chair missing the canvas. Husband just cleaned the wood up then passes it on to me for the sewing. I really like how it turned out. I think we have about $10 in it.

Tow Mater

Who knew Tow Mater was in Hewitt wisconsin, lol.

From the garden today

Bye bye ravioli

After 6 years with our cute lil rav4, we decided to trade her for another. We've been talking for a while about getting a jeep but we didn't want to have a car payment again. So we saved our pennies and looked around and found this sunny one with less miles than our ravioli has. We think we'll like her.

Rainbow

I spy a little rainbow.




it grew!! Looks like the barn is the end of the rainbow lol.





Sky is prettier to the west.

Coach fabric in

Frog coin purse

Have you ever seen such a thing!?!? This was once a live frog, toad, whatever. Weird!!!

What flower is this?

Not sure what this flower is, was already here when we moved in. It is blooming just now, so July bloomer. Anyone know what it's called?

Butterfly quilt blocks

While resting my foot I decided I would check out my butterfly blocks to see how many more I will need. The pattern I am using had a finished quilt size of 44 x 55 but I want a king size quilt approximately 109 inches by 109 inches, so I know I need a lot more than 18 butterflies. But just how many do I need?



The butterflies all still need little black bodies but I decided to do the bodies after I have all of the blocks completed. This isn't the final location for each butterfly, just a way to see how many I need. Well, it looks like I need 145 butterflies total, I have 106 ready for bodies so I'm very close. :)

Thanks again to all of you who helped by sending fabrics!!  I have managed to keep it to where there are only 1 or 2 butterflies of each fabric - except one of the first ones I cut, there are 3 of it, lol.

Warrior dash

I got to wait at the sidelines because of my foot. :(. My son, Haden took my place. And they're off.





Waiting at the finish line.
