10/21/08 – Day 295


5th graders have to make a land form project for social studies. The main guideline is that it must be made from some kind of home made plaster.

Last year, when Nathan made his it resulted in recovering the dining chairs. This year, we got our act together and were way less messy.

Zoey decided to make her very own islands. Silly girl.

Not snow.

10/14/08 – Day 288


Teeny tiny little grass flower, covered with the morning dew. I like how it looks like it is floating.

Back of the quilt top. Hand stitched applique.
