MP3 case

Gary got a new mp3 player, so while he was hooking up the software, I made him a case until he could get one at the store. He isnt real keen on showing it around, he thinks its kind of girly. But hey, if he dropped it, it would probably save it, cause it has a layer of batting. Crummy cell-phone pic, but you get to see the case!

Working on things, little by little

I've been working on some more dammitt dolls, and also, I had signed up for the "secret pal" thing at work, (its a voluntary thing, it lasts about 3 mos. at a time), So, I usually like to make a "final gift, so I have been trying to come up with that also. I was going to do the little mini quilt thing, that has the letters of her name on them, that she can hang in her cubicle. I'll put a picture up as soon as its done.. I really need to get on it, cause the deadline is coming, not sure when, but soon. I also wanted to do another mini quilt, maybe 11 x14 or so with a tree, and grass and sky scene, and 5 leaves on the tree that have her and her husbands name, and their 3 kids names, kind of like a family tree, but not quite, just something to put on cubicle wall or to sit on a shelf at their home. That on is not a sure thing yet, it depends on how fast I get the other one done.! I better get to it tonight, as time is running out. Sorry, no pictures this time of sewing stuff.

Its Finished ! ! !

Here it is! All finished, I have to go show it off at work and with my sewing group, then it will be off to Gavin, I know he will love it!

P.S. I received a very nice, thank you note from

Gavins mother, they really loved the quilt, and

said they would treasure it forever.

Update on the quilt

I have now added 5 of their family photos to the quilt, they look really good, should be done real soon!

Trash Truck Quilt

Here is a project, yet unfinished, I call it the Trash Truck Quilt. A friend of mine, told me about this little boy who has cancer, but loves trash trucks, she wanted me to search on his moms blog and find a picture of him, and somehow put him in a picture with a trash truck. Sounded like a good cause for me. But little did I know when I was searching the blog, I got very interested in this little boys story.

He's had cancer for about a year, and his mom blogs about his treatments and their ups and downs, through it all, this little boy just seems amazing, and he does love those trucks! So I thought along with the picture I done for my friend, I would collect more trash trucks from the web, and make them into a quilt for him. Its coming along well, I hope to be done within a couple weeks. Gavin, this is for you. God Bless.

Here is the picture I created when my friend asked me to do this.

Kids

Went to Woodward park today, with my friend Chris and her daugher Amber and children. I had noticed the tulips were in bloom earlier in the week, and knew it was prime time for colorful pictures! My favorite however is one that I turned black and white, with a touch of color. It was actually sprinkling some, then got harder, but we managed to get lots of good shots. Here is my favorite of the day.
