PHOTOS AND STICHING.....

I've joined a Photo Challenge over at Patio Postcards for the summer...you can read all about it HERE.   I've took a few photos for the challenge...
4.  A toy you play with

My grandson's squishy toy...just squeeze him and he make lots of funky shapes...plus it's great for working out your frustrations on.
10.  Something smaller than a paper clip

I use beads on my Crazy Quilt Blocks.
14. Something with Wheels

My Grand Daughters favorite toy when she was about 5...she had the whole set...they came in the MacDonald Happy Meals.

As for stitching...I've been embellishing my January RSC blocks, which happens to be Crazy Quilt Blocks...this one needs some more embellishing...The color for January is Light Green...

I think this one is done...

So that's what I'll be working on today....

I'm doing a monthly post on I'm Following A Tree...keeping track of one tree is the idea.  My tree is a big Maple outside the back door.  Not too much going on right now...but yesterday was a little windy...did you know when the wind blows...the leaves on a Maple tree are silver...really..

And don't ask what the yellow thing hanging on the bottom of the tree...I think it's a reflection...I was shooting this picture through the glass.

It's a Chipmunk...we have lots of them here....when the cats don't find them...they scamper around looking for food or just take a few moments to rest....Chipmunks are small, striped rodents of the family Sciuridae. Chipmunks are found in North America, with the exception of the Siberian chipmunk which is found primarily in Asia.
