The Felted Bag From Hell is settled into its new home:
I’m making progress on the Summer of Scraps blanket. I have a feeling the finished blanket will either be gorgeous, or it will look like a gaggle of clowns threw up:

Samantha’s favorite toy is a tennis ball. She was playing with one last night and when I walked down the hall I discovered that she’d stashed it in a safe place:
I don’t know why I’m so fascinated by vanity license plates, but here are two more I’ve seen this week:

Say there’s a book written about your life. Who would you want to narrate the audio version?

Main Course
Name a song that brings back memories for you.

The Gems Blanket looks wonderful, so fresh and happy! I’m sure someone will love it dearly. Kishka is cute as always. I don’t envy you all the sewing with your scraps blanket, but you can do nice things in putting it together. I’m sure it will look great in the end!
The scraps blanket is super fresh and striking, not at all like clown vomit!
Oh, great. Now, Mingus and Vespa are going to be asking for felted placemats. Thanks a lot!
The summer scraps blanket is looking great! I love allof the different colors! I can’t wait to see the finished project!
I think the scraps blanket will be really lovely…not puke like at all. 🙂
I feel a wee bit wiser today, now knowing the definition of bonnethead. Who knows when that trivia may come in handy? 😉
It’s funny the way music conjures up memories with such amazing clarity.
