What happened to November?

Wow so much has happened this month!   Where do I start?

Well first of all the Royals won the World Series!



During the final game I got my knitting out to ease my nerves.  At the 7th inning this happened....so I started another hat!



It was a marvelous series!   And then there was a parade like no other!   


We did not go... look at all of those people!!  Imagine trying to find a bathroom... nope watching from afar was good enough for me!


I extended my cancer hat knitting to November.  I ended up with 7 hats, 3 went to a good friend, 2 others went to friends who wanted them for their friends and another went to a breast cancer survivor.  I have 2 left that I will donate.  This was so much fun and I was so happy to help others out.



I am averaging about 2 baby quilts a month so that has kept me busy.  This month there were a few more than usual..

 

I made this for one of my good friend's daughter who is also a good friend of daughter #1.  Isn't he just the cutest?



 These last two were custom orders...

 
And this one is another custom order for daughter #1.  My kids are my number one customers!

I received a wonderful 4-H Volunteer award at our County Achievement meeting. My friend and I received an award for our work with the SPIN Sewing Club.   It was so nice and meant so much to me!


Speaking of the 4-H Sewing Spin club, we meant again this month and made these wonderful Carrier bags thanks to a fabric donation from a good friend.  These kids make me so happy!



And then last night my little neighbor girl asked me to come to her Girl Scout meeting where to be on a panel of women role models!   I was so honored she selected me!
So to celebrate, I took her out for dinner and we had dessert of course!

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

My first "I made it" week!!

  Well this was my very first "I made it" week and even though the weather wasn't the best I think it was a success.  Friday was my last day and as you can see from the collage above this was my choice for the day: Looks a lot like the pattern right?  This was so easy to put together especially since there wasn't a zipper.  This was cut as a size 8, something that I am still not used to.  I still add extra on the hips so I grade it out to a size 12.  My daughter would say that my clothes are too loose but I would say that they are nice and comfy!!  This pattern essentially has 2 collars to achieve the look.  I skipped the pockets.  I find that unless they are stitched down they usually add bulk to the sides.  I realize that most people leave reviews on the pattern and that is something that I have neglected to do so here goes.... Pattern sizing:  size 8 graded to a size 12'at the hips.  Did it look like the photo/drawi...

Sewing interruptions

Sometimes the sewing needs to get put aside for real life.  This is one of those times. My husband and I have lately been maniacs about our house remodel.  Early this year, what started out to be painting walls ended up in a total remodel of our upstairs... New doors, bathroom sinks, new bathroom floor, kitchen countertops, stained cupboards, kitchen tile etc etc It took us 7 months.  I thought we would take a break.  He wanted to redo the landscape in the front.   So out can 25 yr old bushes, a basketball goal etc etc I thought we would take a break.  Now we are repainting our house...in July...when the heat index is 110!! The mister clearly needs to leave town and quickly...  please someone call a water conference ASAP!!!
