Perfect fix



Our dear Eli has been blessed with a love for yarn crafts.  He loves to crochet, weave, braid, and anything else you can do with a skein of yarn. 
His latest creation was a hat.  As he made it, it seemed to get smaller and smaller.  I suggested that he increase his stitches to make it bigger BUT his solution was better than any I could have come up with!  A chin strap!

Scrappy Part II

My sweet niece, Mica, helped with some stitching

I used pearl cotton to quilt this piece.  I love how the circles look!

I am using this runner on an old thread cabinet, how fitting!  And here are two of my most recent book purchases:
