Playtime

 Welcome to Treadlestitches!

Playing with purple scraps is so much fun!  Last week's commenters were right, all shades of purple play well together.  I use the cut off corners from the hearts to make HSTs for the Friendship star blocks.  Still don't know how exactly I'm putting these blocks together.

Log cabin blocks are done for the month.

The monster in the middle says hi.

Happy blocks are done, too.  Novelty prints in the center, "calmer" prints on the outside.

Of course I have a favorite block!  Who wouldn't love this sassy cat?  Large and in charge.

My little buddies and I are spending more time outside now that summer is really here.  First, we have to do our work, watering the garden.  We're not growing much this year, as I'm being more realistic about the kind of time I have for weeding etc., but we always have to plant a few tomatoes and green beans.

Work done?  Now we can play!  Baby Buddy liked crawling through this tube at the playground.

Little Buddy loved running through the sprinkler.

Baby Buddy didn't like the sprinkler AT ALL.  He was much happier putting rocks in a container.  And dumping them out.  And putting them back in again.

Both buddies liked playing in water.  I just filled up an old plastic container, and added toys and boys.

Playtime for me!  When the kids weren't here, I worked on the Fun and Games baby quilt I mentioned last week.  The original didn't have a border, but I kind of wanted one.  It's ready to be quilted up this weekend.  More details next week.

According to some scientists, play is beneficial for all of us, children and adults.  So when I play with my scraps, I'm just looking after my health.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Enjoy the weekend!
