Eva’s friend Vanesa turned 15 this summer. Eva went to her Quinceañera and had a wonderful time. This totally sweet little crocheted dress pin was a party favor. Eva said there were also crocheted hat and fan party favors. I’ll bet a lot of Vanesa’s lady relatives got together and had a crochet party-favor party! Sweetness!
Ella is making a quilt from 5-inch wide patches cut from our large collection of scraps. She sewed pairs of patches into a long garland. Look at her at the sewing machine—sweetness!
Naturally, she had to wear the patch garland. That’s foolishness.
And now for complete and utter foolishness. I bought a cookie press in hopes of squeezing mud mortar into narrow openings between bricks that somehow didn’t quite get enough mud between them.
Eva was going to take care of that job for me. She felt that the star-shaped cookie press would work well for remedial mortar work.
Eva practiced first, making sure she had the correct consistency of mud slurry to do the job. Wait a minute?! What job are we talking about here?
Well, I was talking about filling in between bricks with mud mortar. The job Eva had in mind was making large families of cute little star-shaped mud cookies. Foolishness!
