Snippet Sunday
As planned, I did mostly sewing these past two weeks. I sewed a cover for our kiddy pool. It is one of those inflatable affairs that is over 2mx1.5m, so the cover had to be almost 3x2m.
I also made a mosquito net for our king-size bed, not an easy task moving all that netting about! But I'm not finished with the stuff; I have to make a net "room" (3mX2.8mx1.8m) for our yard, otherwise flies and mosquitos make it too miserable to eat outside. Man, how I wish we had stocked up on some mosquito nets when we lived in Mayotte. They were huge and, even better, CHEAP! *sigh*
I'm a little over "big projects."
I did sew two newborn hats for Coquille's first day...plus a test-run hat that turned out the perfect size for Junebug's baby dolll. LOL
Next up I have to make a new "diaper" bag and repair the nursing pillow I made for when I had Junebug. I would like to sew something for an Egyptian friend who just gave birth, but I need to find some cute, quality fabric first. Not easy at the best of times and not something I feel like doing while hot, heavily pregnant, and car-less.
On the art front, I made some more color charts, more "targeted" ones, kind of like this. I also sketch cows. I suck at cows. Must sketch some more. Lazy me thinks I should just practice some "cartoony" cows since this book is not about cows. My more studious side thinks I shoud work on getting the real deal right first.
Anyone else want to share their creative endeavors from the past couple of weeks?

Here are more of them, if you can't see the images on her site either: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=color%20charts%20patsysmiles&rs=typed&0=color%7Ctyped&1=charts%7Ctyped&2=patsysmiles%7Ctyped
And the outdated browser keeps me from reading PDF files within it, so I'll have to wait until I can use J's computer to read "Girl."
