a quiet weekend

On Saturday morning, I worked on the photos from the shoot I had on Friday. And in the afternoon, we went out and did yard work. While Tim and I did yard work, the girls emptied out their pumpkins and drew sketches of what they wanted Dad to carve. I think Tim did a great job.

C took sewing lessons during the summer but I have not done a good job of recording her work. She has made a pillow case, a table runner, and chenille heart where she made all the seams for the chenille stripes. This week, she made a bib for a friend from church who recently had a baby.

This is a simple bib using half a hand towel and half a bandana. When she was cutting she nicked the bandana so we added a patch with a button.

K made this card for Lydia. It is from Robert Sabuda.com He has a bunch of tutorials for simple pop-ups. We've made a couple of them.

 

I let the girls use one of the gift boxes I make to give the gift in. We gave it to Lydia Sunday morning. She seemed quite pleased. 

For church, I braided C's hair in a French Braid where you only add hair to one side of the braid (of course you really can't see it here but I like this photo).

For K, I made this 'net' of hair. I know I've seen it on people but I actually got the idea and figured it out by looking at a horse's mane when we were at the Renaissance Festival.
