Greener Beginnings: August 2011
http://greenerbeginnings.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. Coraline and I experienced our first protest last month. Without getting into too many details, my beloved Alma Mater, Peace College, which has a 154 year history of being a women's school has decided to change the name of the school and become co-educational. I am very disappointed in the direction the college will be taking and feel very misled by the Board of Trustees. She's got her red rose ready. Here is a picture from the N&O- I'm in there, but my head is turned away. Super...

Greener Beginnings: Baby L2 is Here!
http://greenerbeginnings.blogspot.com/2012/05/baby-l2-is-here.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Baby L2 is Here! And he is a BOY! I really was shocked- I thought he might be a girl for a long time! His name is Maclain Chase (McLain is Grant's middle name- we are just spelling it a little differently). He's such a sweet and good baby. I've enjoyed being his mom for the last two weeks! Grant holding Maclain before we go home. I made this little hat for him. Each of my babies had a special piece of handmade clothing that they wore home. She loves to hold him! I am a God loving,...

Greener Beginnings: Snow Storm 2012
http://greenerbeginnings.blogspot.com/2012/03/snow-storm-2012.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. So, here is a picture of the big snow of 2012! Well, at least we got something this year! I did not have any good clothes for Coraline to wear so I brought the snow in for her! I call this the "lazy mom's way" of playing in the snow. She really enjoyed it though and played for a good 30 minutes measuring and tasting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is Coraline. She loves to eat! Very cool site that allows you to "pin" your favorite ideas from the web to one place. Cl...

Greener Beginnings: Pillow Cover
http://greenerbeginnings.blogspot.com/2012/01/pillow-cover.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. Here is a pillow cover I made for a friend just using some scraps I had on hand. The fabric is from the Wonderland (or Alice in Wonderland) line from MoMo by Moda. I doubt you can find it anymore because I've had this lying around FOREVER. I love it though because it's so whimsical. It's an envelope style pillow with button closures. I love this easy-to-follow tutorial. Just another up close of the fabric. I'm getting my crafting back on folks! This is Maclain. He likes to...

Greener Beginnings: January 2012
http://greenerbeginnings.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 28, 2012. Chevron (Zig Zag) Quilt. I always say it but this may be my favorite quilt yet! As chevrons seem to be all the rage right now, I thought I'd make a chevron quilt. I didn't follow any specific pattern, but this is a good tutorial. On making a chevron quilt. I made 5 inch squares, so the finished quilt is 43 x 43 inches. The back of the quilt. I put two rows of charms through the back for a little visual interest. I've put this up for sale in my Etsy. Thursday, January 12, 2012.

Greener Beginnings: September 2011
http://greenerbeginnings.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 26, 2011. Although, I've taken a small break from quilting I was able to create a very special quilt for a friend recently. I used fabric from two of her baby blankets to produce a new quilt for her little girl. I will admit that I was nervous taking someone's special treasures and cutting them apart, but I knew I could do it and create something really special in the process. Her little girl's name surrounded by applique flowers from her baby blankets. I also got new tags from here.

Greener Beginnings: New Hat for C
http://greenerbeginnings.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-hat-for-c.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. New Hat for C. Well, as usual, I had great plans to make something for myself. However, I am no expert in crocheting so the slouchy hat I was attempting to make was looking like anything but a hat as I was going along. So, I undid a few rows and just made up my own pattern. It ended up being a cute, little hat for Coraline instead! The back. It reminds me a little of a train conductor's hat! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is Coraline. She loves to eat! Likes to wave "Hi...

Sunday, October 30, 2011. Sorry, I've been MIA for awhile. No excuses really. Just haven't had much too blog about. Here is the finished product-. Oh, yes, you've noticed the little addition in yellow- he/she will be here sometime in April! I shall call him/her Baby L2. I guess that little one may have prevented me from crafting and blogging recently. We will have to do better Baby L2 if we want any readers! Definitely more crafting to come!
