Some days are strange

I made a big check.

St Patrick's Day Snowflakes

 

While the snowflakes were falling outside and 2 of 3 kids were recovering from the stomach-thing that is going around, the middle Boy and I needed a quiet project to entertain ourselves.

These snowflakes were such a big hit that Olive came out to work on them for a little bit as well.

 

Coffee filters and scissors are all that we needed.

I already had a warm iron so after folding the filters into halves several times, I pressed them lightly to keep them flat.  That made it much easier for the 3 year old to hold. 

 

 After they were cut and unfolded I pressed them with the barely warm iron again.  

The snow is very pretty (but I am so over it now).  Bring on Spring!

baby quilts again

Working on a few baby quilt gifts this month since we have 7 new babies due in our school district and a few in my family as well!

The small sizes give me a chance to play around a bit more and try new techniques without taking up too much of my free time. 

This one was a "special request" by the dad-to-be, he asked for our school colors so maroon and gold it is. 

It's funny because it's true
