To the neighbors and beyond

So this was the first year lil' B went door to door for Halloween. We wanted to make his costume so bad but he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear and wasn't having any of our other suggestions. So we bought an off the shelf Buzz costume and I built the jet pack. G also made him a custom trick or treat bag.

Always test your equipment before the first flight.

Ready for duty.

You can barely see, but I built lights into the wing tips and the exhaust of the jet pack.

Hitting our first house, more amazed than scared!

We really thought lil' B was going to give up after couple houses but he kept going for over an hour!

psst!

Canfield Fair 2010

finished!

We're still here!


It's been a while since we've posted anything, it seems the fall is slipping by in a flurry of house work, gardening, sewing, zoo visiting, working, and reading Richard Scarry books. Time to catch up!

Another quilt finished off and gifted to a new babe. I love the graphic quality of the blacks, whites and reds together! These were sample blocks for our Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild block swap from July, made as I was learning how to make a Wonky Log Cabin.

The back is a swirly black print, the binding is upcycled from a favorite cotton skirt with a damaged zipper, and it measures about 46" square... it was hard to give away!

Front Page!

Isn't it great!?
