So for some reason there is a lull in the storm - quite literally. We have been pounded with thunderstorms off and on for a couple of days now. Not the kind of weather we had in California.... One of the many reasons I LOVE living here - we have REAL weather! FOUR seasons. Well, I think so anyway. Some people swear we only have three seasons - Winter, July and August. But enough of that, where was I? Oh yes, the lull in the storm - allowing me to write a post two days in a row.
As I mentioned yesterday, spring and early summer are usually filled with sewing projects, pictures posted (maybe) after the grand loves receive their wearable goodies for birthday gifts. I still had one outfit to finish when we headed out for our visit, so today I combined a couple of project ideas. I finally finished up the outfit I was working on for our grand daughter, and Sheila at
She's A Sassy Lady has challenged us this week to make a shape card and "link it up". First, here are the pictures of the Strawberry Sundress and Shorts with reversible hat:

| Simplicity 5540, "Tutti Frutti" cotton blend fabric |

| Sundress |
 |
| This side has watermelons |
 |
| Strawberries and Blossoms |
 |
| Shorts under the dress for active days |
 |
| Pocket is gathered at the top, elastic in casing |
 |
| Orange buttons to catch the eye! |
Since this will be mailed to our grand love in time for the school year, a little card of greeting will be a nice accompaniment. Sheila had a great idea to make a "shape" card.
This card uses the "Country Life" cartridge and several layers.

Here are several of the layers

| The paper started moving on the mat - EEKS! |

| A craft knife comes in handy to fix those mis-cut or uncut bits. |

| Two berries |

| Sweet! |

| One for now, one for later |

These cards came together very quickly and were fun to make. Thanks for looking. Have a blessed week and enjoy your talents in life, whatever they may be.
