Bear Paws
I miss the grands on the weekends, but I sure get a lot more done when they aren’t here.

Tattoo…Shirts??
Auntie Rachel sent the littles a box of goodies,
that included white t-shirts
and temporary tattoos of unicorns,
super hero’s
and cool stuff approved by teens,
and said…
put the tattoos on the shirts!
Say, what??
So they cut (getting to use scissors is still a big thrill)
made artistic placements
then soaked the tats and care.ful.ly removed the paper.
Magic!
Jac had so much water on her shirt that it was literally dripping off.
I had to put it next to a floor heater, turned on high, to have a chance of getting it dry enough for her to wear tomorrow. 😂
Jac: “Take a picture of ME, Grandma!”
Apparently the tattoos will wash off in the laundry, but the littles don’t care.
“Get out of my picture, Donovan!”
They’re ready to do it all again!

Making A Start
Sat down with the first Wildflower block today
and couldn’t stop until I finished it.
This is going to be so. much. fun.

A Girl And Her Stick
Wormy had disappeared (smart Wormy) and Donovan was with his mom,
And as we were leaving the park, announced, “This was the best day of my life.” 💕

Our Pal, Wormy
Jac and Donovan made a friend at the playground.
They took Wormy for rides,
(poor Wormy fell off that stick a bunch of times but was still wiggling around!)
built him (her?) a home (red arrow),
found leaves for him to eat,
Mismatched shoes are a big thing these days
and, before we left, covered him to, as Donovan said, “protect him from predators.”
Then came home and made Wormy art
and planned how they could make a garden for Wormy’s friends.
A very successful day.

Baby, Baby
Those Tula squares from yesterday’s post kept calling my name, so Saturday I made this
after ripping it apart when the proportions didn’t look right the first time around.
Not enough size contrast between top and bottom
Then Sunday I took the remaining squares - did I mention I had a lot left over from my niece’s quilt?? - and made this based on a picture (no pattern that I could find.)
I love how sweet it is, so I’m sure I’ll be making more.
I knew I wanted borders, but not how wide to make them, so I let the fabric decide -
my 3/4’s of a yard yielded 8 strips at 3.5” wide, with only teeny thin scraps left behind. Perfect.
