Gator Sighting!



I finished the alligator scarf! Didn't he turn out cute! One thing about being in the car all the time is that I can do my knitting at least-


I sat down to do some sewing this afternoon and the power went out! I did manage to get some borders cut for the red and white quilt to work on some day-I had to be creative for the power outage! This is a pillowcase for a young man at church that is leaving Friday for college-it is in his school colors of purple/gold. The lettering was done with purple behind the stitching so I cut the top layer to see the purple beneath-it fuzzed up after trimming-just the look I imagined so I was glad it worked out.
Our permit paperwork is submitted to the county, the contractor is hired for cement slab and the framing. We are ready to begin next week, Lord willing!
