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...

Craft night!

Daughter #3 and I have been wanting to do a craft night for quite awhile. When our local studio offered this Map String Art class I knew we just had to go! The class was set up to do the map in red, white and blue. We didn't want to have two of the same thing so I decided to do mine in different colors. I went out and bought ... you guessed it .. purple and white string!! We had so much fun!! think they turned out pretty well! Here's a close up of mine after I cleaned it up: This wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. They used this site for their inspiration: http://thetwinery.com/2013/08/inspired-by-pinterest-map-twine-art.html I think I'd like to do one of our home state of Kansas next. Pinterst had some pretty good sites; http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2014/10/missouri-love.html#_a5y_p=2693507 And finally here's a picture of our class: I can't wait for our next craft night!!

Capsule Wardrobe

I have thought about doing a capsule wardrobe for quite awhile. Now that the season is changing I thought I would see if I can make it work. I scoured the web and Pinterest for information. I found this great site that at least helped me find a starting spot. One of the tips was to chose a base color, black or blue and go from there. Black was the obvious choice for me. I need to say that I decided to start this project at 9pm at night. I decided to clean out my closet at 9pm, was I crazy? Yes, but I forged on... I cleaned out my closet, then I started with pants, skirts, tops etc. I used the website to help me figure out what I needed. Long sleeve knits, in three basic colors, grey, white and black. Same for the short sleeves. Then I moved to the next thing skirts, three skirts, grey, black and denim. Next was sweaters, grey, black....are you starting to see a pattern? I realized as I moved through the ...
