Ode to Aquaman

Oh ya! I love Aquaman!

My friend the Super Geek thinks

Aquaman is the laughing stock 

out of all the super heros.

I have loved him since I was a kid.

As an adult, the love continues

and I've never been into blondes!

How To Make Hexagon Templates

Plastic index dividers for your notebook work great. 

Cheap and readily available.

If you have kids 

you most likely have a stash

 of these bad boys 

lurking in a closet

Make a Hexagon Pattern out of paper

or if you have a few 

laying around from your last 

paper piecing project

use those.

Grab a Sharpie

Trace Hexagon onto plastic

Punch a hole in the center of your plastic template

It makes removing so much easier.

My work mat is atrocious

 (hence "work mat")

and my $7.00

Amazon camera is about

to bite the dust.

But you get the idea of how to make hexagons

and that's really all that matters!

Memorial Day is tomorrow

Remember our fallen soldiers

Have a great day off!

Hand Embroidered Grocery Bag

 I love to hand embroider.

I found this great site that sells

Aunt Martha's products. 

   Colonial Patterns

 

 This is a new pattern pack called

Folksy Farm.

The colors remind me of a 

farm house kitchen.

It even comes with a color guide.

 

This is the second time I have

ordered from this company.

 

American Company!

Family Owned!

The Orphan

This morning 

on my way home from car pooling

 I found this orphan sitting 

on the side of the road.

It looked so sad and dejected

I knew it must be saved

 

I sent my man on a mission

to bring that orphan home

and he did

I am happy to say

it has been

 cleaned and polished

and is ready for a new life

What a beauty!
