Summer Life

Sorry it’s been two weeks since my last post!  Crazy heat, third trimester fatigue, and summer life have just caught up with us around here.  I’ve been making decent progress on prepping the nursery, so there will be some posts coming up about that. 

I haven’t been completely unproductive.  I made this fish pillow for the 1st birthday of a dear friend’s son.  She had given me a couple of wool sweaters to use in my projects, so I thought this would be a perfect use for some of the fabric.  I felted the blue and green sweaters and then freehanded a fish shape for the body.  Pieces of the bottom hem from the green sweater became the fins and tail.  I used minky for the white of the eyes, black fleece (coincidentally leftover from a project for her older son) and pink felt cut in the shape of hearts for the lips.  I think it turned out really cute and I hope he enjoys snuggling up with something that came from his Mommy and her friend.

We’ve been doing a bunch of the typical summer activities – going to the Farmer’s Market – Arden sampled some yummy kettle corn…

… and partook in the nearby splash park.

Arden has discovered the joys of the garden sprayer and helps (for real!) water the flowers…

… and Laser!
