Life has been busy and unpredictable here, just like the Colorado weather (weekend before last it was snowing, then last weekend 80 degrees, and today snowing again).
But I thought I’d quickly share what we’ve been up to. Rex likes to make candles and this past weekend he got out his candle making stuff:
Not bad for a day’s work, eh? It’s a great way to recycle too – he melted down all of our old junky candles and made those.
My brazilian embroidery project is closing in on the end and so I’m auditioning threads and fabrics for my next project. I’m going to work on an advent calendar – a combo of embroidery and crazy quilting. I’ll have pictures soon.
This is the silk thread on the satin. I think it’s going to work out great. (no, it’s not pink fabric – it’s tough to take a good picture of white)
And just to finish – our lovely daughter in my husband’s sunglasses – isn’t she a hoot? Our washer is on the fritz and she and I were headed to do a little laundry at the laundromat. Right now we’re enjoying doing it there – I’m sure that won’t last! 🙂 By that time, we’ll get the washer fixed!
OH! And before I forget, last weekend, I cleaned up this site. I changed my “about me” page – hopefully it’s a bit easier to read. I also cleaned up my gallery and put the pictures back up of the amazing Crazy Quilts we got to see at the Denver Art Museum.
Oh, and I’ve updated my articles section too – be sure to check out my tutorials and “how-to” articles!
