day 197: 7/18 wed

this was my wip wednesday item but i didn't get to post it.  it was sandal 1 finally finished.  it took 3 tries to get the fit right but finally i got it.  :o)

day 198: 7/19 thurs

just another day on the phones.  my 1hr shift includes 4 stations of tv to watch.  :o)

day 199: 7/20 fri

pippa's finished sandals.  aren't they cute?!?  not for sure i will make another pair, they weren't too hard to make just harder to fit the babies when their legs are chunkier.  i love me some chunky leg babies!  :o)

day 200: 7/21 sat

went to the craftapalooza with nana & the girls.  i'm thinking of doing a booth but only if christine will do it with me again.  it's a lot of work for one person!  q told hopp to sit like a mermaid, she got it half right.  :o)

suckers always get in the way when you are trying to kiss your sister.  :)

q left with nana after we had lunch so hopp & i went home & took a nap & then hit up pippa's party.  she loved the layered dip they made in little cups.  sarah is so creative & had really cute decorations.  she had this wonderful pink punch with strawberries in it & striped paper straws and mason jars for everyone to drink out of.  we didn't get to stay long but we really enjoyed it.  :)

TGIFOF!!!!! :o)

yep you guessed it...  it's fof day, or as i like to call it show-and-tell day.  :)  i have several things for you today.  i FINALLY get to show you the pippa blanket & bunting (garland) set i made for her.  btw, she is being delivered today, lil miss pippa will be blessing this world with her presence!!!!  yay for new babies!!!  go team girl!  hahaha that makes me laugh every time, well we are team girl at our house.  :)  oh & i also get to show you the bunting i did for ms callie.  i couldn't show you earlier because it was similar, but definitely not the same thing, to what i was making for pippa & i didn't want to ruin the surprise for sarah, her mommy, because she actually reads my stuff.  :)

so without further ado.....

ms callie's bunting.  this was the only place i could think of to hang it.  the pics are from so long ago, 2 wedding & 2 additional jess was so young in the second pic from the left.  :)

miss pippa's bunting.  i really like how it looks on my fence.  her room is black/white polka dots with yellow accents

ms pippa's blanket.  finally!  no more teasers.  :)  her big brother stole it when sarah pulled it out of the bag so i'm going to have to make him a blanket for his bday coming up.  :)

close-up of the blanket, it's a moss stitch with 6 rows of yellow alternated with 4 rows of a different color & then i gave it a granny border, inspired by crafts from the cwtch's proper granny blanket, i love sarah's stuff.  this sarah & pippa's mommy are not the same people, they live on separate continents.  :)

also i got 3 potholders done for my potholder wall!  i'm so excited!  i got the one finished on my wipw that was the african flower one.  i was able to figure it out on my own but i CAN NOT find the a video for the flower potholder.  :(  i will get it figured out eventually so it's still a work-in-progress thing.  :)

this is the 3 finished so far.  i love them!  **this is not my kitchen** ;)

african flower mandala

this one was not as hard as i thought it was going to be but more work than i anticipated.  just one of the 4 versions from your nana's potholders

this reminds me of watermelon :)  this is the maggies kitchen pattern & i used edging 1

i can usually make 1 potholder an evening during the week but i'm hoping to get at least 3-5 more done by sunday.  do you have a favorite potholder pattern you would like to share?  i made a mushroom one last night i haven't finished yet so that will be one of next week's fof.  it's my own pattern so if i can remember what i did i will post the pattern, it took me FOREVER to get it right, i'm just not good with my own pattern making but i'm proud of this one!  :)  it's so cute can't wait to show it to you guys & it's nothing like the lion brand one, i like that one too.  :)
