Taylor needed an update to her curtains. Christy and I took some time before we found something just right. We had settled on a Sesame Street theme but Christy changed her mind. We had taken so long to decide on a fabric (and she knows how long it takes me me to get things done) that Christy decided Taylor was too old for Sesame Street. We settled on this Cute as a Bug fabric from my local quilt store.
Taylor seems to be happy with our choice.
About a week before I left on my trip to Saskatoon and Calgary I had an urgent call from Will and Alex. Would I be able to make them a mascot head? They would like it to be a dragon head please!
I found a pattern for a Hallowe’en costume that featured a hood with spikes and, after verifying with the boys that this would work, I bought some fabrics. Because the boys range in sizes I ended up making two mascot heads.
In order to hide their faces we purchased black nylons which were cut and pulled over their heads. Because of the flash on my camera their faces show more than they do in “real life”.
Will recently had a chance to be the mascot at Alex’s soccer game.
I have been looking at this pattern for a long time and decided that I’d give it a try this year. Plastic canvas always looks like it will go together quickly, but the truth is it takes a long time. And it takes even longer when you are making three.
The inside is fully lined, and the roof lifts up on one side. The house is full of Easter chocolates and candies.
When I visited Christy in the Spring we went shopping for clothes for Taylor. During our shopping Christy was trying to find cute clothes for a girl that weren’t in pink. She said Taylor had too many pink clothes. I was anticipating a trip to the fabric shops while I was in the area and decided I should make Taylor a sundress for the summer. I used a blue fabric so I wouldn’t be responsible for any more pink in her closet.
After all the quilting I have been doing I sewing clothes was easier than I remember. I knew enough to pick a very easy pattern anyway!
