The summer is speeding to an end
(wish this crazy Amazon wet/hot weather would, too!)

We've been doing summer stuff - like the bucket ride across the Wisconsin state fair.
Eating Fair Food - yummmmm.
Which in Wisconsin includes Cream Puffs as big as your head!
And hey, look - I made something at my machine. A fun, summery table runner that was quilted as I went using Amy's tutorial that's on UCreate as their August project.
I'm on the parent board of Becket's co-op preschool and the meeting was at my house last night. I had to have a cute runner for the occasion! The mascot for our preschool is the owl - so had to include a few cute ones on the the left end there.
And I love the bird fabric on the back, too.
Becket also helped with some summer decorations - dyed rice and pinwheels! We colored the rice with a rubbing alcohol/food color mixture.
Card stock, straws, and some white rubber stamped designs for the pinwheels.
Ever notice that ice cream sundae dishes are hexagons?! With all the crazy it has been mostly handwork around here. Some hexagon fun is up next.
