I already shared Friday night crafts. I still need to do some more coats on my M. I like my M. We decided that letters would make great gifts. Sofia wants to create a few for her friends. Something handmade, we'll try it.
Sofia had an out of town soccer tournament. The boys opted to stay with Papa and Lita. Lilia, Sofia and I left around 10am Saturday morning for our 2 1/2 hour trip to Camas. Papa picked up the boys just before we left. He was going to take them to Old Country Buffet for breakfast. All three of them love it, so it worked out well.
We ate breakfast on the run. Now don't judge me, you can see we ate fast food on the way. McDonalds is convenient, inexpensive and they like it.
At least they drank OJ and a Powerade.
We left early to allow for some cushion in time. Thank God. We stopped in Woodland to get gas, which is about 1/2 hour from Vancouver. Sofia by chance asked, "mom, did you pack my cleats?"....crap, no!. We hurried to the mall and found a Big 5. Shoes bought! We were still 15 minutes late to the game, but it could have been worse. I hate being late. The game was good. The other team played very well, great connections, communicated, stayed on top of the ball. We've come a long way, but still have a way to go. And the weather was beautiful, blue skies...I think I could live in Camas.
The ride home was so long! I nibbled on the usual, sunflower seeds keep me awake. Numb lip and tongue, but I stayed awake. We picked up the boys and headed home with 2 pints of blueberries.
Today Uncle Jess, his granddaughter Brittney and new baby M came to visit. My job was to bring blueberry muffins. (That's why I was sent home with blueberries.) I tried a new recipe from Ina, with a little raw sugar on top. They were a hit and they looked pretty too!
Of course I have to bring something to do at the padres house. So I packed up my felt and my Big Shot, picked up Sylvia on the way and headed over. Inspired by Sara, I wanted to make felt flower clips for Lilia. I started that process but didn't finalize a product, yet. I cut plenty of circles and flowers to finish at home. I think I need to buy some buttons to put in the center. I had some large pieces of scrap felt, so I tried make a rainbow heart to applique to a shirt for Lilia. I think the concept is good, but need to buy thinner fabric. Seven layers of felt is too thick.
You can see my cut circles and flowers in the upper left corner. The rainbow heart is there too. Sofia's using the Big Shot to cut scraps.
Again, nothing accomplished. No final product. Maybe next weekend I'll finish.
JH starts basketball this week....it's going to be an already busy week filled with another activity.
Good night.
