STITCHES - N - STUFF

When Kacie was with her other grandmother she made herself a glasses case. It's out of felt, colored with marker, and hand stitched. She came to my house and wanted to do more.

This is the first sewing lesson on the machine Kacie has had. She was such a great student. We started with straight stitching and then made it into an envelope and added a button.

Kacie made this pillow all by herself for her bother Max. First she embrodered his name, then she pieced it, then sewed pockets on the back, then stitched it with right sides together, then stuffed it, then slip stitched it. Yeah Kacie!

This is the back of Max's pillow, with two pockets.

Kacie wanted a soft case for her mother to put her glasses in at night.

She wanted a case for her glasses also. We put a ribbon on it to hang on her peg shelf.

Kacie and I made a little bag for her sister Mia. There isn't going to be any stopping this girl now. She wants me to send her some material to practice on. Did I tell you she's 7. She has such an imagination.

I finaly found a sleeping angle. I'm so happy.

A cute purple pin cusion flower.

Shasta daisy's were a must.

Three coryobsus plant went in a few weeks ago.

We planted pinkish, purpelish, flowering ground cover and a yellow flowering ground cover all along the edge of the garden in the front yard.

My daughter planted three black eyed susan's last year. My hubby tried to kill two of them with round up, but they are still living and blooming.

I helped my neighbor the other day with a yard sale he was having and I was given this working chandaler for free. I would appreciate any advice on refinishing it. It's going in my studio.
