Day 273 of 365

This beautiful quilt top was made by a member of my quilt group.

I do love show and tell.

Day 272 of 365

Father (Big D) and son (GB#3)

Day 271 of 365

I love the color of this sunset but, just a couple minutes later,

these geese flew across and the clouds turned pink.

I love pink clouds.

Day 270 of 365

It fits.

Day 269 of 365

Last year the NFL made rules limiting the size of purses and bags

 that fans are allowed to carry into games. 

I will be attending two games this season. 

I bought a new bag.

Day 268 of 365

Clash of the Seasons 

The leaves are changing and falling to the ground 

but there is still lawn mowing to be done.

Day 267 of 365

"Am I early or am I late?"

The explanation of bird stories is here.

Day 266 of 365

These are the same plants seen here in June. 

It's definitely fall.

Day 265 of 365

Third time was a charm.

(Disclaimer:  The hat has not been on GB#4's head yet so fit is still unconfirmed, 

but I am pretty confident that it will fit as it is fairly stretchy.)

Day 264 of 365

On the way home from the annual retreat is a wonderful market. 

We always stop...even if it is raining.

First Annual Holly Girls Quilt Retreat 

As our week comes to a close we take pictures to remember the good times we had.

Pat Holly, me, Sue Nickels, and my good friend and fellow retreater, Julie.

Michigan has pretty bugs. 

Luckily he was on the outside of the window.

Day 258 of 365

Gone quilting. 

Michigan. 

Day 257 of 365

Do you see that group of tiny glowing dots? 

It's a little swarm of gnats dancing in the sun as it disappears.

Day 256 of 365

I almost forgot to take a picture today. 

Grab the camera.

Shoot the hat progress.

Done.  Whew! 

That was close.

Day 255 of 365

I've been struggling with getting the baby hat gift right for GB#4. 

This is the third different hat I've started.

Do you think it's true that the third time's a charm? 

I certainly hope it is. 

I'll let you know.

Day 254 of 365

Back when there were no little GBs running around, 

I made this cute little sweater. 

Now that we have a little GB boy, I guess I should find some buttons for it.

Day 253 of 365

GB#4 is one week old. 

Day 252 of 365

GB#3 and M  

Playtime on the floor turned into an impromptu photo session. 

Quite coincidentally they dressed alike.

Day 251 of 365

I am celebrating a special birthday this month. 

I intend to make it a special year.

Day 250 of 365

GB#3 at 3 months. 

He talks. He smiles. He laughs. 

And then he sleeps.

Day 249 of 365

Even the functional areas of the art museum (IMA) are art filled. 

This is not one of the exhibitions. 

This is the escalator.

Day 248 of 365

Due to the secret nature of this item I made entirely today, 

I can only give you a sneak peek.

Day 247 of 365

GB#3 is rocking the bucket hat I made for him. 

It's a little big. 

He'll grow.

Day 246 of 365

Sisterhood happened earlier than expected. 

Welcome GB#4.

It's a girl!

Day 245 or 365

Only a few more days until sisterhood for GB#2.

Day 244 of 365

M has new...

No, wait.

Those are my glasses!
