Spaghetti Hand

What did Michelle have for dinner you were wondering? Why yes, I did have spaghetti, how did you know?

Golf Bahl Hand

My Grandpa Bahl was an avid golfer and a bit of a couck. He used to make all kinds of things out of golf balls but his forte were golf ball dogs complete with a tee tail and red felt tongue. We didn't have any left over golf balls from him, so I had to buy some new supplies. FORE...

Hand Chime

I love wind chimes. My Grandma and Grandpa always had wind chimes outside their window, and still do. Whenever I hear a wind chime, I think of them. I hung one on my chicken coop and every time I open the nesting box door, I get to hear it. Music to my ears!!

A Handful of Cherries

I didn't get this hand done yesterday because I was sick as a dog! Note to self and others: make sure to check expiration dates on canned goods!

As I was laying in bed all day yesterday, I decided I would do this hand if I ever got out of bed. Obviously, I did not get out of bed so here it is today. Man, yesterday was the pits (hehehe, get it!?!? pits- cherry pits)!

Upcycled Hand

I have wanted to try out this technique for awhile now. It is just plastic shopping bags that I cut apart and ironed together. They form their own fabric which can be pretty sturdy. I bought a back pack at the SLC Arts Festival this year that was made out of it and I love it. (It has a hand on it so I was a sucker for it!) I cut out letters that spell out the word "HAND" and multiple hand shapes too. I was going to make a little clutch or zipper pouch, but I like it so much, I might frame it or something.

French Fry Fingers

These fries and onion rings are from Crown Burger. MMmmmm. I think they have the best fries and onion rings. I tend to prefer the soggier fries to the crispier. I don't know why, I just like them.

Hand Quilted

Today is my Great Grandma Story's birthday. She was such a sweet lady. She would hand quilt a full size quilt for each of her kids, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and even great great grandchildren. I still have my quilt on my bed and love it. It is peach with lots of flowers on it (my bedroom was peach and green when I was younger). I got it when I was pretty young, I would say around 10. She would give it to you as a Christmas present and the was the BEST gift to get and it was so exciting when you were up to get your quilt! She was a speedy quilter and would get about 8-10 quilts done in a year, and she would get them to her grandkids at a pretty young age. The funny thing is, there was a wayward thumbtack that got bound into my quilt. The post broke off, so it doesn't poke you, but sometimes rolling over, you get a surprise. I wouldn't take it out though, it gives it charm and character. She never pieced her tops, she would only use preprinted fabric to quilt on. I love making the quilt tops but I don't like hand quilting them. Maybe when I get older I will take the time to quilt my quilts.
