I needed a lighter weight bed cover than the red and white quilt I made a while back. So, I bought a queen sheet set (white) from Deseret Industries and some assorted green fabrics at Wal-mart and this is what I made. Our summer bedspread, if you will.
Our bike-repair elder was throwing out a bend bike wheel and I decided I wanted to hang it on one of our many bare walls here at the seminary house. And, then, Emily sent me a pile of grandkid photos and I thought I needed to make a bulletin board. But, thanks to Pinterest, I found a way to "kill two birds with one stone" and.... viola!
These bare walls were driving me crazy so I bought some stretched canvas at Michaels (50% off) and some acrylic paint at Wal-mart and created these two "masterpieces" (not!) But, they were fun and quick to do.....
My friend and neighbor and fellow ward-member, Janet Wells, is extremely skilled at rosemaling and she helped me paint this wooden bowl! Currently, we are working on a wooden bread box. And, I am finally getting the hang of how to manipulate the brush - which is really the hugest part of this style of art.
The Desert Hills Stake (our stake) had the "Music In The Park" yesterday and guess what???? It rained!!! Go figure in a land that has perpetual sunshine. However, Arizonans are a tough bunch and we proceeded with the show. You can see the gazebos - two more eventually were set up on stage - and there were over 250 people in attendance! Good thing it was a light drizzle with no wind. The string quartet (which I named the Daisy Mountain String Quartet in honor of a nearby mountain) did very well. We ended up cutting What A Wonderful World because there were so many acts. And, the stake has some incredibly talented musicians - particularly singers. And, not surprisingly, most of them sang songs from Greatest Showman. 
Steve and I watched "War Horse" Friday night. I'd forgotten what a good movie it was. We went to the temple Saturday morning. The rest of the week was same old same old.
