Well, now that all Christmas celebrations have finished (including what we called Second Christmas in Arizona) I can safely share the projects I had going on behind the scenes...
Our budding entylmologist received a new quilt for his bed. He had requested one because the quilt for his junior bed no longer fit properly... The paper-pieced bug patterns came from Etive and Co on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/701956233/insect-foundation-paper-piecing-patterns) and I designed the rest with lots of advice from friends. The entymologist loves it.
One granddaughter received her doll bed, made by Dave, painted by us both, and the sheeets, quilt and pillows made by me. She was thrilled.
The two grandsons each got a set of castle blocks embellished by Dave, along with a little set of knights and dragons. I made draw-string bags to store them in.
I embellished a t-shirt and made some bibs for Tim and Nikki's foster baby.
I also enjoyed making a plethora of star ornaments for the grands, the nieces, and several friends.
And a baby quilt for the foster grand. So cute (the baby... and maybe the quilt, too!)
And did I mention that second Christmas in Arizona was just grand? No one got sick, we hung out at our rental home, hiked, and enjoyed one another immensely. I am so grateful for that time! Now, quarantine is over, and the real world of put-off appointments reasserts itself this week. But here are a few happy pictures to leave you with, Gentle Reader!
