Random Things on a Wednesday in January

 A fun bunch of randomness to share today. 

What do you think is in there?

 This is on one of our camp chairs. 

 This is just because I needed a bright spot on a gray January day.

 Mini is definitely a creative, she is always drawing, making things and writing stories, and she never gets caught up in the "its not perfect" problem that I have.

Even art with magnets.

 These two were sharing the sunlight on a cold winter's day

 I had to document this huge apple.  This is actually from Thanksgiving pies.  The apple came from "up north" in the UP, picked wild. 

 It took up half my peeler.

 And then look at this tiny guy.

 I've got a new leader/ender project under my table at the machine.  These are old charm squares from Connecting threads.  Just gonna use them up for charity quilts.

This was my 2019 in used spools.  I did do some sewing where I was trying to use up thread, it was nice to make some space in the thread boxes.

And I have a plan for the 2020 temperature quilt.  I will share more when I get some actual blocks made.   Which in reality may not be until February.

A Few Random Projects on a Thursday

This post is to document a few of the projects I've done lately, but none really require an entire blog post.

 I've been diligently cutting up my scraps into usuable pieces.  Squares mostly. 

Sometimes I do it just to do some cutting, pulling things from my bin, but usually its after pulls for projects, I'm trying to clean up as I go.

 Has anyone else tried the thread from Hobby Lobby?  I picked up these to try because they were 50% off, and as much as I love my Aurifil, I also like a good deal.

 I did some heat transger vinyl projects for our school secretary (and E's volleyball coach).  She asked for the Avenger in Training to announce her pregnancy.  It was pretty cute.  I made the other ones just for fun as an early (first) gift. Their family are huge Marvel fans.

 I mentioned that I had a bunch of buffalo plaid flannel.  I also had some fleece remnant from Joann. I made the middle three pillows for the girl's room and E made the other two from kits from our trip to Iowa. last spring.

 I also whipped up a pair of sleep shorts for E.

This is a piece of vinyl on Mini's brush.  She has the same one as her sister, but her sister refuses to share, especially after an incident of lice last year.  They are Wet Brushes.  They work very well on my girls thick and wavy hair.
