In the sewing room


Princess is heading off to 'school'. She asked Grandma for a pillow, a cat pillow case and a princess crib sheet for her nap time space.  


Pillow measures 12" x 18"......made from muslin and stuffed with fiber fill. Princess sheet  fits a standard size crib mattress.....found the pattern here. Pillow covering made with Shannon cuddle cats. Also sent a 'blankie' that was created from a 72" x width of fabric Shannon embrace fabric.

Grandma is wrapping her princess in fabric love while she is settling down in a new place!

I had 2 crock pots going at once. Made 2 more crock pots full before all those grape tomatoes were used up. (that's 28 cups of tomatoes!!!!) 11 pints of yummy goodness Some hints..........go light on the salt and cilantro. I heated all my batches of salsa together until it came to a boil and then proceeded with the normal canning routine.
