For my August small I finished the funky birdy from Moments of Glad Grace by Blackbird Designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This past weekend we were camping and I finished it up in the beautiful cool air on top of Mt. Lemmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“We” includes me and my 5 children ages 6-16, a friend and her family with husband and 4 children ages 1-14, and 2 extra friend children (that’s 11 children and 3 adults), and 2 dogs…a geriatric dog who thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and a small yippy dog who was thoroughly pampered by my dog loving 12 year old who doesn’t have her own dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s comfortable if you are so furry?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The weather was nice, no one died (though the two 16 year old boys may have come close…are they exaggerating their mountain climbing story?) and we had a good escape from regular life. It was my 6 year old’s first camping and her evaluation was a good summary. “I need to go camping more often!” Me: “What was the best part?” Her: “Swinging in the hammock and the campfire.” Me: “What was the worst part?” Her: “The potty.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, Dorcas doesn’t get to go camping so I got a small done and that was nice. I plan to mount it on a square box. I used the called for linen, Legacy from Picture This Plus, and threads. I wish the dyelots of my threads were a little more differentiated as it\u2019s hard to see them well and the little branch is made up of 3 different colors. Oh well! It will look cute and prim on the box!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I forgot to show you one other thing I made last month…I got a wild hair and made an attempt at peyote stitch on a Fern Ridge kit that I’ve had a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was putting some stuff away and came across the little kit…so there I was plopped down on my belly on the floor starting something new. I watched tutorial (is this REALLY how you do this?? Yes??? Ok then. Long threads it is.) It took me 2 sessions. The 2nd session, at the kitchen table, was infinitely easier, whether that was my position or slightly shorter threads or getting the hang of it I don’t know but it was a fun little kit. I will be making more of these. I have a few more, slightly larger kits from Fern Ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
