Froggy fun ~ a two page layout

This layout is created around a PageMaps sketch.

The patterned paper is a fun froggy print I picked up at Unforgettable Memories.

The Pine River was very low this year and this back channel where the kids usually swim was one big mudhole.  Breanna and Daniel were collecting little toads and making sand swamps for them.

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas...

Honeydew, strawberries, raspberries and green grapes.  Yummy!

I did a how-to on making the glittery circles at Unforgettable Memories.

Bad Turbo

This is the story of a very naughty cat. 
Rick emptied the pond a couple weeks ago and bought 11 gold fish inside for the winter.  There were in a covered fish tank that took Turbo no time at all to get into.  We found the biggest goldfish on the floor less than hour after they were bought inside.  We shooed Turbo away and put Mr. Fish back in the tank.  His scales were all askew but he swam off.  He didn't survive more than a couple days more.  Poor guy.

I found a new colour challenge blog.  I love these colours together.

Really puts me in that Halloween mood.

Busy, busy, busy

We've been busy around here.  Breanna and  I made a wreath the same night she made her SPA banner.
The base is cut from a shoe box and wrapped in Halloween patterned paper. 
I glued some orange chipboard letters together to make SPOOKY and tied it to the frame.
We punched loads of scalloped circles out of black vellum; 15 sheets of vellum worth.  Each of the circles was folded around the eraser end of a pencil and glue gunned in place.
I added a My Little Yellow Bicycle title in the lower right corner.
It is hanging by my front door.

I've also been knitting while watching all the new shows on TV.  I finished another baby hat.  The pattern is a free one I found through Ravelry.  I made it for a coworker.

The yarn is a variegated bulky yarn. It's really a quick pattern.  Like a one show pattern.  I did have to learn how to do Kitchener stitch to sew the ends together.  I guess I didn't HAVE to; I could have just sewn it together like I normally do, but it's good to learn new things and next time it will go just as fast as whip stitching it together, but it will look better.

Here it is on Breanna's teddy.
