Pretty Pleasant Plump Plopping Pillow

Pretty Pleasant Plump Plopping Pillow

Sandra December 17, 2014 home / kids / sewingLeave a comment

  journal entry: Easier than the last batch of cushions. For sure. This was Afton’s birthday cushion. I made it and she loved it. She plopped right down on it. That is the test. Two 36″ circles of duck fabric. One for the front and one for the back. Poly-fill. Lots …

Raccoons Celebrate Christmas, Too

Raccoons Celebrate Christmas, Too

Sandra December 17, 2014 holidays / home / kids / other stuff / this and thatLeave a comment

    journal entry: As I continued to prowl around for Bristle Animals for my new Christmas Nativity, I found two very angelic raccoons. Perhaps they didn’t look very angelic when I found them with their black masks and shiny, black eyes, and bushy, striped tails, but, by the time I added …

Magical Christmas Trees

Magical Christmas Trees

Sandra December 17, 2014 family history / holidays / home / kidsOne Comment

  journal entry: Christmas Trees. Most people have one. Some trees are live and some are not. Ours is not. It is covered with ornaments that children love. Dinosaurs, snowmen, monkeys, frogs, camels, children, treasures, knights, robots. Chains of pearls and garlands of colored circles. Candy canes. This and that. …

Sailing Swans

    journal entry: Swans. Swimming and sailing and sweeping through the sky. Companion print to the multiplying giraffes which is found on this site in another post. I wanted puffy and poofy. I wanted someone I love to feel that the swans in the clouds were holding her up. Finished and …

Quilting a Million Giraffes

Quilting a Million Giraffes

Sandra December 17, 2014 family history / holidays / kids / sewing / this and thatLeave a comment

  journal entry: I dreamed about giraffes for weeks. They multiplied before my eyes. Every time I finished one, another appeared. That is how it seemed to me. Grandpa often asked if I was still working on the giraffes. Yes. Yes, I am. It was the most wonderful, whimsical fabric …

Is It Christmas Without Quilts for Dollys ?

Is It Christmas Without Quilts for Dollys ?

Sandra December 17, 2014 family history / kids / sewing / this and thatLeave a comment

  journal entry: How can it possibly be Christmas without quilts for the dollys ? This may have been one of my most delightful Christmas projects ever. Dolly Quilts. For little, tiny people. I mostly used scraps and in the case of the quilt above, I cut up a pillowcase which already had a …

Watching Their Flocks by Night

Watching Their Flocks by Night

Sandra December 17, 2014 holidays / home / kids / spiritual thingsLeave a comment

            journal entry:   We know there were shepherds watching over their flocks by night when the Angel of the Lord came before them and made them sore afraid. I don’t know how much those special lambs understood about their role in this wonderful, real-life Christmas play, …

Angels We Have Heard

Angels We Have Heard

Sandra December 17, 2014 holidays / home / kids / photography / spiritual things / tiny talesLeave a comment

  journal entry: I took my time. Isn’t that what we tell children to do ? My vision was a Nativity made up of Bristle Animals. First, I had to find them. That can be a trick. Then, I had to bring them to life. Bristle Animals can bend. They are expressive. …
