F: Firewood at Fox Lake

A couple of years ago I started making little one-minute vignettes. I called them meditative moments. A chance to sit and relax, rest your mind and gaze at a meditative moving picture.

Here is last November 18, 2012. Getting ready for winter at the Fox Lake cabin:

It’s so relaxing, watching else someone stack the firewood, isn’t it?

The sound you hear in the background is the generator. We had been using the splitter. I took a break to make this little film.

E is for Elephant

Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts recently hosted an elephant-along.

When I saw the pattern, I just had to make it.

I haven’t finished it yet. These pictures are of just the flimsy (the un-sandwiched, un-quilted top.)

My version is a bit bigger than hers, which makes it too big for a toddler. And I don’t know…the pattern is childish for an older kid or adult. So I don’t know who it will go to. Maybe I will keep it for myself, lol!

Maybe someday there will be grandchildren and we can all snuggle under it out on the porch swing on a cool spring morning. (If I build it, they will come, maybe?…it worked for Kevin Costner, after all!)

I think I’m going to embroider tails onto all the elephants.

Lorna has generously made her very sweet elephant quilt pattern available for anyone to make for free! The directions are on her website, here. And check out this linky party to see all the cute variations people have made.
