Crayon Floral Wall Hanging

Posted on August 14, 2013 | 14 comments

My six year old granddaughter and I decided we had time for one more project before her visit with me ended.

So we drew a project in Electric Quilt, and printed out templates.

Alyssa used Crayola crayons to color her fabric butterfly and flower.  Then she cut out and fused the parts to a simple background that we had sewed together(Grandma applied fusible web to the fabric before Alyssa cut into the fabric) .

We had a very enjoyable afternoon crafting together.

For the curious, G Mom represents Grandma.  I don’t think Alyssa could figure out how to spell Grandma.

And I see an ‘oopsie’ that we need to fix.  We forgot the butterfly antennae!  We shall get that done before she goes back home!

Pillow Fun

Our daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren have been visiting with us.  Hubby and I have really enjoyed their stay!

My six year old granddaughter and I had a little craft time.

I think she likes her pillows, don’t you?

She has every right to be proud of her accomplishments!

She will keep one of the pillows for herself, and give the other pillow to a cousin for Christmas.

Valencia Street Bike Basket

Posted on July 29, 2013 | 8 comments

I have had the Valencia Street Bike Basket tutorial link saved on my Pinterest for quite some time.

My two granddaughters are six and five years old…new bike riders.   I’ve decided the time has come to make the bike basket.

Palak Shah’s tutorial is easy to follow and the basket is quick to make.  You could make it without the ties and just have a nice basket.  Or you could add ties to every corner and just leave them tied as bows for a decorative touch to  the basket.  The basket doesn’t have to be used for a bike.  It could be a useful room decoration.

I don’t have a bike, so I couldn’t tie the basket to the handlebars to show to you,  but you get the idea.

Bike Baskets

My granddaughters will be getting these for Christmas.
