Kristy gifted me several containers of eggs, so I made some devilled eggs, which were enjoyed by everyone!
When we had some sleepovers, I didn't want to break up the fun, so the kids had a grazing tray for whenever they got hungry.
Juliet made a colorful paper airplane from scraps!
My skirt kept getting holes where the repair thread would pull on the original material. So, I quilted on some large pieces of cotton underneath, and, so far, new holes have stayed away!
Grace loved having Aunt Janet here, and made her a scrapbook page to take home.
Billy bought me 3lbs of adorable beeswax at the farmer's market, so that I could repair my wax covers. Turns out, I didn't need much, and barely used any to refresh them.
So, I thought I'd try my hand at making some from scratch! The plaid covers worked really well.
I think the Baylor material must have some sort of synthetic material in it, because despite several applications of wax, to the point where it was pooling on the parchment paper, it never felt 'sticky' when I folded it against itself. I told my mom that she could get rid of them if they didn't work properly.
For one of our trips to the Cornishes' I made a banana pudding. The single night of settling was perfect to make the cookies all mushy!
My mom had left some whipping cream at our house, and since I don't use it in my coffee any longer, I made my own whipped topping!
This feels like a sparse crafting post, but it was squeezed into a bustling summer.
later days
