We've been in Red Bluff since Sunday with all of the Heffernan's and Cahill's to celebrate Grandma Wichmann's life and prepare for the rosary tonight (wednesday) and funeral tomorrow (thursday). We went into town Monday for some project supplies at "Sew What" and have been crafting ever since. Francie is beside herself excited between the horses and her cousins. We set up Doug's big picnic table in the screened porch. I brought up my embroidery machine and got some fun bright colored fabrics for two projects...

My first project was a "celebration banner" with embroidered flags (I made 74 of them!) to tag different messages on a ribbon for birthdays and holidays

A relaxing workspace and got to watch the kids play in the spa at the same time

Andrea finished the project she had started on her trip to Hungary, a knit little vest for Isabel! It is soo cute and perfectly done of course, her seams are seamless ;)

The girls "sewing" too (Isabel looking on and wondering when Francie is going to get in trouble for touching moms sewing machine)

and in their crazy outfits snacking on booty and taking turns pushing Maisie. Isabel is wearing her little ruffle skirt I made for her on my last project day at Jannie's ;)

OH MY. Isabel the little Hungarian on a chocolate high in her ruffle skirt

Hummm. Didn't think it would be worn that way or I would have made it a tad bit longer (Alexis- I had to post this photo just for you! Thanks for the pattern!)

My Tuesday project was a travel-roll I tried to make come to life from an idea in my OCD-packing head....

It unrolls to hang on a door or hangers with clear pockets across seven rows, each day has space for a onesie, outfit, back up outfit and pj's...

in progress, trying to figure out how big to make the pockets for baby sized outfits

and of course a place for matching bows

and when the naps were longer than I thought (the best part of running around the barn all day) I made a matching lined laundry bag and a little travel bag for baby first aid stuff.
