Happy Memorial Day! Lauren's back home now & we all had a day off so the whole family (including the adopted dd) went to Ikea and Michael's then came back home to start work on wedding invitations. Karen also came over with a sample of the bridesmaids dress for Jo to try on. We've got a lot to do! I recently finished some projects that I haven't shared with you yet. Here's the first. I call this my "TV pillow". Last week was the season finale for all of the TV shows that we watch. I am usually doing something else while we're watching TV. This last year it was usually crocheting. The last few weeks it was this pillow.
I switched our bed over to our 'summer linens' last week & thought I needed a new throw pillow. These are still a few of Great's leftovers, plus some other 100% cotton pieces. I'm using up a lot of scraps. Here's another good recycled project:
Lauren had a lot of maps so I cut up some of the doubles and torn ones into 4" squares, glued them onto a canvas, & aged it a little. I still need to paint the edges. I tried to use pieces of maps that showed places we've actually been, or that our missionaries are living in.
Here are the covers to the 4x6 albums that I made for SE & G'ma. I still need a baby picture for Lynne!
One more photo... Glenn got kicked out of his office/studio when Lauren came back home. So he went to the thrift store, found a little desk, & made himself a mini-office in the corner of the living room.
Hope everyone had a great holiday. I have my regular day off tomorrow so I think Lauren & I will do a little more wedding shopping and let her apply for some more jobs!
