The count of completed luminaires is climbing. They worked on them last Sunday, November 12th and again, tonight. The luminaries are made of vinyl siding with holes drilled out in a pattern. The bases and tops are lids purchased from Berry Plastics. There are strategic holes drilled and punched in the lids and bases […]
Several weeks back when the troop went camping, they began working on the fishing merit badge. One of the requirements was to clean and cook fish. Unfortunately, that weekend they didn’t catch what they needed so this week at the meeting they got a chance to do it with fish from a local monger. […]
Yesterday was Faith Day and Mason went with his classmates to Ferdinand. He is hiding in the back but he’s there. The group visited the monastery there run by the Sisters of St. Benedict. Mason shared with me that they had met with several of the sisters who spoke about vocations. They also did a […]
Yes, it’s another I Spy quilt. Brooks is the second grandchild for my friend, Jim and Cheryl. I made a quilt for their first grandchild, Cate, who was born in August. Brooks’ is a little different and I like that. I do like the straight stitch quilting on this one. I’ll have to remember that […]
