Barbara's Creative Projects
Scott, a boarder at Cheryl’s neighbour turn 41 today — and woke up to 41 pumpkins on the front lawn! Rita told Cheryl to invite everyone to come and get a pumpkin. So Billie and I walked over and chose a pumpkin, brought it home and carved it (that is, I carved it; Billie just watched intently, hoping she could eat it). Jack spent the evening glowing on my balcony.
Monday – baked the pumpkin and put 8 packages of pumpkin puree into the freezer. i do love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!
My poor little doggie shivers in the cold air. So I decided to make her a sweater. I used the yarn left over from the monkey slippers and toy I made for Mina. the pattern is a free one from Bernat’s website.
You can see from the photo how enthused my little friend is with my gift!
On August 22, 2010 Gary, Trina, Mina and I went to see the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I took a series of pictures to make a panorama of the area. Click on the picture to see it alone, it can then be enlarge to full size (requires vertical scrolling).
Last year I made a pair of monkey slippers for my grandbaby; I started the toy monkey that matched, but never finished it. Now Mina can wear the slippers, but only wants to play with the monkey heads. I decided it was time to finish the toy monkey.
Made some clothes for Mina’s new baby:
I need to think about footwear next.
Her wig has arrived in Campbell. We will need to figure out how to attach it securely, yet have it removable for laundering.
