Day 322

March 9

This is one of the quilts my Grandma made. It's been on my bed for years. 

Day 226

December 3

Sarah isn't technically a pathfinder, but she comes with us each week. One of the other staff members offered to teach her an honor that isn't a required one or one that the club necessarily will do as a whole. So she is thrilled to be learning cake decorating. Thanks, Jennifer!

Day 224

December 1

Sarah's been drawing lately too. Here's one of her drawings from today.

Day 217

I've been stitching, sewing, crocheting, , etc., for days! Hannah & Sarah were invited to Sarah's best friend's birthday party, and it was a costume party. Sarah and her friend both love a line of dolls called Lalaloopsy, so that's what Sarah decided to be. Hannah wanted to be a sock monkey.

Day 215

When your daughter has a costume party to go to, and you don't want to buy a costume, or pay the crazy prices they want for sewing patterns these days, you improvise.

A shirt that fits well to use as a pattern. Internet instructions. Packing paper. And a sharpie. Go!

Day 208

Funny how a trip to the craft store always ends up with more in the cart than you planned on.

Day 167

It doesn't look like much yet but it's a good start...

Day 166

October 1

Starting the crochet honor with my Ranger class at Pathfinders.

Day 154

Here's the rubber stamp I carved at the Letterboxing honor class yesterday.  I'm more pleased with it than I expected to be. (Actual stamp on the left, stamped image on the right)

Day 139

My new project... a baby layette set to complete the requirements for the advanced crochet honor for pathfinders.

Day 138

I finally have my sewing table! Every time my friend Marlene saw one at goodwill or some other thrift store, she would send me a picture of it. I finally got one that wasn't gone by the time we got over there.  And such a deal,  only $19.99!

Day 115

August 6

Today we saw lots of high desert heading through eastern Oregon into Idaho. There's a whole lotta nothing out there. I was going to take a picture of the Welcome to Idaho sign when we crossed over, but didn't get the camera open in time.

I spent the day alternately working on joining my granny squares, and unraveling Sarah's yarn. 

We had a stowaway join us for a little while - a tiny green inch worm.  Hannah wanted to keep it but we made her put it out after awhile.

We saw a little Brown bat at the rest area where we picnicked for lunch. It was nestled up against the outside of the bathroom under the eaves.

Twin Falls, ID was our evening destination. We arrived around 10 p.m. and had the kids settling in bed by 11. 6 a.m. tomorrow is going to come early!
