My Red Hootie Owl - Finally!!!

Well, it took me all month, but I finally got my RED HOT Hootie prepped for stitching!


I'm actually not that fond of this one.  I think I may have done it too quickly without really playing with the fabrics enough to get the right contrasts.  All the REDS are really beautiful, but they blend together too much.  Too much of the same thing going on!  They didn't look like they would mash togehter before I cut them up smaller....


But it will have to do, because it is DONE!!!  At least, I think it is.... you never know..... I still may decide to change a few things before I stitch it up.  Right now I'm tired, so I'm not thinking it needs any changes at all LOL!!!  I'm linking up with Angela at SoScrappy for the RED Finale, as well as Today's Linkup Party since I haven't even thought about this month's color (light/bright greens), much less planned any blocks with them.

We've been very busy here at AQAP!!!  Last weekend we went to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga - what fun that was!!!


Sara got to actually pet the fish and loved it!!!


This girl wants to be a Marine Biologist one day, and her love of all things in the oceans is very real!!!  Could she be dreaming of her future here?



I love that pic!!!  

At home, Sara has been busy learning apparel sewing on her machine!  Her favorite thing to do so far is putting pockets on t-shirts we get at Goodwill for $1.  She has six of them so far - here's a few....




She learned how to make a freezer paper template, and that sewing on jersey knits is not always as easy as it looks.  I even held my breath and let her cut with the rotary cutter!!!  Of course, she has to wear a cutting glove :)


Next week is her last week with us, so we will pack it as full as possible!  There's still lots of sewing to teach her!!!

How is your weekend looking?  We will be plenty busy, but I hope to drop a quick blog post here and there.  I apologize that I have not been a very good blog friend lately :(  I promise to catch on reading your blogs in a few weeks!

Hugs & Blessings!
Teresa
