Mom's Thursday


Rocky and I spent most of the day with Mom. The weather held out beautifully. It was a cold start, but the sunshine was gorgeous - as you can see, Rocky took full advantage of it. Mom was really happy to see him. While I straightened up, Mom did some sorting and purging. Yes, 'tis the season :)

I came home to no phone service and after 45 minutes of trying to figure out what was going on, I was told there was "outages in Michigan and Ohio". How frustrating !!!
I don't know about you, but when I try to make a phone call I expect the phone to work. In all of our technology you'd think it wouldn't take that long to find out it's not you :(

I made dinner and cleaned up. I was just tired enough that I couldn't settle on a specific project. I need to work on my spring and patriotic row-alongs, but knew better than to try and cut out fabric and try to sew.





I settled on this project.
I found alphabet silouhettes on line, enlarged and printed.
Tonight, I traced the letters on fusible webbing that will be adhered to fabric.
I'm making these for my 2 year old great nephew. His 9 year old brother will get a kick out of helping him learn "his letters".
I found the idea on Pinterest :)

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Great idea, and with different texture fabrics, there are some adjectives that could be learned, like rough and smooth, shiny and dull. I'm glad you had a nice day helping your mother. You are so fortunate to be able to do so.

  2. What a great project, should be fun seeing them play with all the letters.
