Sharing My JOY!

I had a wonderful two days with my grand kids. They picked apples from a tree in their back yard; Ten kids took turns climbing this little step ladder and got to pick an apple from the tree. The apples will be made into an apple pie by my SIL later. Then they were carving and cleaning pumpkins... All this today!

On my my Grandma's Friday I took care of my grandchildren alone! We spent some time at the park across the street from their house, and they did try on their frog costumes I made them! They were delighted with them and I to see them in them. It was a wonderful time. And they did not tire me out completely. But I did sleep well last night!

I did do some sewing while there and I did some sketching too. Maybe I'll blog those later.

Frog Costumes Done!

I am crossing my fingers that I can get a photo or two in here today. I had great fun making these two frog costumes for my three year old grandkids. Their request to be frogs! The "eyes" are on lime green visors with big plastic doll eyes, the kind with the black centers that move around. The fabric for the Kermit collars and bellies is a very very soft brushed fleece, got cheap t-shirts at Michael's and pants at Target (the most expensive part). Felt for the spots and trim around the collar pieces. Halloween socks for a buck and made the feet from the same material the visor is made of. Not sure what its called, foam I think. They will look cute! Now lets see if the photos will upload. Nope, they still wont upload. If anyone wants to see the photos send me your email in comments and I'll send it to you that way. Hope to get this problem resloved soon.
