Brianna's Graduation

This is such a huge event!

Not just because the venue is a sports arena and Brianna's face is projected on this Super Tron.

 The feelings of relief and triumph.

 The attendance of Grandmas who remember when.

 Sharing it with friends...

 Pride and joy. Its huge.

So here is what I did for my niece's graduation last year...

In honor of my niece's  graduation, a jeans quilt with her school colors in t-shirts. A big quilt; approx. 60" x 67".



Or, 132 - 6.5" squares sewn together with a half inch. seam.

 Here is the back.

A collection of toss away legs from jeans and overalls...

donated from many sources. 132 squares.



Making this a GREEN jeans quilt.

 Here is a close up of the magic that the washer conjures up. Look at those fuzzy ripples of cotton. Love it.

Here is a close up of the reverse. As comfortable as your favorite pair of jeans.




What have I done for my own daughter's graduation?

Well I have a week. Maybe I'll come up with something.

Sewing Room and Guest Room

We are getting ready for company. Do you think our guests will like this arrangement? Lots of shelves for books and knickknacks. Cool green walls and little punches of color.

 And, when company has gone, the bed folds up in the shelves leaving plenty of space for creating. Brian added the roomy cubbies on the left to store the supplies and projects in the making.

 Here is the view of the south end of the room. It is first and last my sewing room after all!

When you come to visit, I will make room for you. Consider yourself at home. Do you like?

May the Fourth at the Air and Space Museum

Cam is a recently initiated fan of the Star Wars movie series. He has added this theme to his growing collection of Lego sets.

So in honor of May the Fourth Be With You day, we visited the Air and Space Museum - Wings Over the Rockies at the Lowry airforce base. We saw a short film in the Harrison Ford Theater AND we were able to see these props from the movie.

Impressive, right?

Art Show at Grandview

We try to attend all of Brianna's art shows. Her teacher is very good about finding opportunities and showcasing her students.

We were happy to get a letter that told us Cameron would be included in this art show. His clay sculpture was one of three chosen to represent his class.

Here are the artists with their work...

Now Brianna should know how to 'play to the camera'.
