Prayer Notebook

We decided we'd like to pray more effectively for our family & Pastor. So we asked each family to let us know what they'd like us to pray about & then I did cards for each family in general then for kids in general then each family member. Each family has a different color too. As prayers are answered we write that in the notebook too.

Renewing Two Skirts

I had two skirts that were a wee bit shorter than I liked so I haven't been using them much. They just sit in the closet & I thought that was silly. So I took some fabric & gave them each a ruffle. Now I can get more use out of them. :)

Older Project

Just before Christmas I decided I need a different way to keep my favorite recipes. I got a small photo album & put them in there. That way they are covered & don't get dirty while I am making up the recipe. I use a clothes pin to hold it open.

Skirts

These are the last two things I have been working on. I made an all blue skirt over a year ago off of a pattern I had gotten. I made the mistake of cutting it out wrong. I am used to cutting two pieces at once but this pattern they are all cut out single layer. So I had ended up with an extra set of top pieces but didn't have enough fabric for the bottom ruffles. So then I had to find something that would work for the ruffle. I got fabric last May but got busy & couldn't get to it. Then I couldn't find it. Finally I found all the parts & decided to take time & do it up. When I went to do it I found the pattern I had made myself off of the pattern, it is for a 6 pieces gored skirt. So I decided to do that one too. I happened to have fabric I had gotten cheap at Goodwill. So here is the finished skirts. You can see they need to be pressed yet.

Mouse

For our Christmas get together we made little mice out of cherries with stems.

Gingerbread House Number Three

We were able to do a gingerbread house with a third set of grand kids yesterday. The youngest of that family was too little to help so she just watched.
