Flower Power

I did this with my embroidery machine. I am going to attach it to my purse. I think it will also look cute in the girls hair.

BIG Purse!

OK so it's not Friday but I couldn't wait any longer to post this purse that I made. It is so big and holds a lot! Decided it was time to post some sewing.

Canning ALL day long!

Chunky Fingers Friday participants Melinda & Rachel started canning peaches at around 7:30 a.m. the other day....our third CFF member, Karen joined us a couple of hours later to can some more peaches. Rachel got 14 quarts and Melinda ended up with 7. Karen broke the chain of quarts and canned 21 in the pint-sized jars (Rachel secretly wishes she had used the pints too since it's a perfect size for a small family, but is happy with the results nonetheless).

After we enjoyed a lunch of pizza provided by Karen (the only reason we invited her to can peaches was because she had the pizza...not really, but we do appreciate the grub!) Melinda & Rachel made a trip up to Neola to visit Kylene who had slaved all day to pick apples for us to make applesauce. Kylene had picked SO many apples for us that we were starting to run short on time. We got some jars filled and Rachel hauled them back into town to process them at home since there were still 2 bath canners there. Those were finished at about 6:30 so it was a very long day of canning, but well worth it! We're quite proud of what our Chunky Fingers can accomplish in one day!

Sarah & Alyssa needed something to put into their reading book basket in their classroom. It will be auctioned off. Sarah's book is If you feed a cat a cupcake so Melinda signed her up to bring an apron (knowing that Grandma would make it). And Alyssa's book is an Amber Brown one so her tote is a boy & girl swinging on a tire swing. I know they both hope to be top bidder on their classes basket. I know this isn't Friday (they are kind of busy for me now), but Melinda said maybe it should be stubby finger Saturday.

'Nother one.

So I know it's not Friday, but I did finish this last Friday! It was an experimental afghan for my niece's birthday....I call it the Freddy Krueger afghan.

We couldn't leave Carissa out!

Lois & Karen doing the surprise things for girls camp. We are pooped after a day at Gateway! we rode frontrunner from Farmington to Salt Lake and shopped.
