what I am working on

Life was crazy the month of July. We camped 2 weekends in July. And one of the campouts is a big one so we left early , Thursday. My daughter has injured her other knee, tore the cartilage and may have to have surgery again. I am trying to start back to school and have been to the school 3 times to get things straight. It takes an act from God to start back to school. My little guy has a double ear infection again and may have to have surgery again. This would be his 3rd set of tubes. If I am not camping, then I am in an ER or at a doctors office , and if I am not there I am at the school. I am so happy July is over. Hoping for a much more peaceful August.
I didn't do a lot of sewing in July. I just didn't feel like it. Oh and I was sick the whole month of July too. I did start a cute BOM ( which I am only doing one month of) called "Chrissy Down Under" by McKenna Ryan. My son loves Australia and all the animals there.

Here is a better picture of the animals to top of Christmas baubles. I am just going to make it a wall hanging to hang up for Christmas. Where I work, Quilting Adventures, they have made 'kits' of all the blocks for this quilt. Which makes it so easy. All the fabric is picked and cut already. :o)
I did finish another stitchery for the "A Boy's Story" quit top. I am on my last block. :o)

But I didn't get my July month BOM done for my "little stitchies".

how cute is this?!

not my pattern.

some shade for the bus

When we are camping and the weather is so nice we leave the bus door open. But the sun likes to shine right in and heat her up. So we need shade.

BEFORE
Baby but Powerful magnets....
I slip a magnet in....

sew her up..... I did this about very eight inches.

And there you go.... Shade. The magnets just pop right on.

AFTER

dog bed redo

First off, I finished my "happy camper" quilt top ( pictured sideways) :o). I'll post better pictures later. Maybe even after I finish quilting it.

Dog bed before.... yuck

Dog bed after..... cute and yeah.....

One of my favorite fabrics out there right now. Only one of them. I have many.

stitching away

My June stitchery from the Bareroots BOM.. I love the little ants at the bottom. I hate ants in real life, but fake ants are so cute.
This is one of two stitcherys on the last block for my "boy's story' quilt top.

the quilt was signed

The signature tree quilt I made for my sister in law and her new husband has been signed.

Their wedding was this weekend and it was beautiful.

Here they are with their two dogs who are like kids to them.

Congratulations Dison and Becca!

Bubble Fun

I was searching cute blogs when I came across "I make Stuff" and found this cute blog post about how to make a 'bubble station'. So I had to make one for our back porch.

The top pot holds the bubble wands and the bottom pot holds the bubble liquid. My husband closed the holes up on the bottom one with some kind of glue/epoxy stuff. I am going to make a cute cover to go over it with 'oil cloth' so when it rains , it's doesn't fill up with water.

My little guy and I made bubble art today too. Where you put bubbles in bowls add food coloring. Then blow the bubbles on paper, when they pop you've got color.

A cool dip in the pool too. It was hot today and the pool felt wonderful. Basil didn't care too much for it.
