some finished projects


i am so glad school is out. dave and i are both students right now and have started our winter break. as a homeschooling mom i made the decision to cancel school for the kiddies so we all could have a winter break together. we haven't been able to go and do too much due to thisbe's newly acquired ear pain but i do have high hopes for today and for the next two weeks.

here are a few finished projects.

the fraternal twin to the last striped blanket.


after seeing this post. i knew i needed to make some blank books for my budding authors. i didn't sew these on a machine. i uses dmc floss and hand sewed them.


i also made a couple for me. i experimented with wonder under on paper/fabric. the results were great. if i get a moment i might make some more. these little books are a bit addicting to make.

1 - I just found your blog through Pink Chalk Studio. YOu are so creative!! I love your striped blankets and your kids are adorable. I am so jealous of moms who homeschool. I tried it with my son but he has Tourette's Syndrome and he just needs too much help that I can't manage to give him. It made me feel like a failure!! I have a four year old who I would love to try it with but I am afraid that won't be in the cards, either.

I really like your little books you made. I may try to make some for my 4-year old, he loves to draw and is beginning to write small words!!! I love the idea of putting fabric on the cover with wonder-under. He would love that! (Comment this)
