Weekend Update

All the parents from my daughter's softball team got together for some tailgating followed by watching the Chicago Bandits.

These girls are awesome to watch.

Afterwards, our girls got to take their picture with the Bandit girls.

and get autographs, too. The Bandit girls were so sweet, and made it a lot of fun.

I also worked on my other daughter's rag quilt. We are taking her to college in a couple of days, and I'm hoping to get this done in time. Well, gotta get back to sewing!

Hope you had a great weekend.

Much Needed Facelift

This dry sink has been with me for many years, and it has served it's purpose inside the house. I thought I'd give it a facelift before it moved to it's new home......

On the back patio.

I like it! What do you think?

Recycling Or Upcycling?

Today, I decided to play around with some old clothes.

 

Let me back up a bit....I wasn't in the mood for working on any current projects in progress, and I felt like making something I can wear. I was in the mood for some instant gratification. 

Since my hair is at the stage where it comes out looking decent on some days and not so decent on others, and since I stopped using chemicals on my hair years ago and the gray has taken over, I decided I needed a new headband. 

It's also a good thing that I always have a donation bag sitting around, so I recycled some shirts. Or is it upcycled these days? Anyway, here are my two new headbands.

A Little Knitting Here and There

As you've probably noticed on my blog, I move around from one art medium to another. I've never been able to just concentrate on one thing. I have, however, been able to narrow it down. 

Here's a scarf I started knitting during softball season. What I like about knitting is that it's portable, so I would sneak in a few stitches in between chauffeuring my daughter to the softball field. I really like the ruffle on the end. 

I'm looking forward to working on some projects in progress.
