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!?

B has a new lunchbox called a Goodbyn. It's designed like a bento box, only with many more compartments that seal themselves, eliminating the need for sandwich baggies and other "disposables." The center holds a 8 oz bottle.
It also came with TONS of stickers to decorate the outside. What did he pick? An ice cream cone, sock, log of wood, cell phone, traffic light, glass of juice with a bendy straw, skeleton key, and an amoeba.

A bit too big

If I can fit, so can you, grandpa!
