Thomas in Paris, New Pattern & the World According to Gentry

The last few days have been super busy! I've been working extra hard and long on my upcoming pattern. I am hoping to release it on Valentine's Day, so I need to really keep at full speed to make that happen. I did take a picture of the progress I've made on the quilt itself...


...and yes, I did distort it a bit, just to keep everyone guessing.


Here is the picture of my "Thomas in Paris" quilt I've been working on in my spare time. This is the center and I have just two borders left to add. The quilt is a really easy and fun pattern, I could definitely see making another one like this sometime. And if you stick to just the center, it is a good size for a baby quilt.





Now, I have mentioned before that my son, Gentry, has a unique way of looking at things...and positioning items in ways that make since to him. Before I showed you the Lizard Salad. Today, I have a few other things I've found around the house recently. The first was accomplished when I asked him to stack my HP books on the dresser.



The second is something I discovered when I went to work out on my exercise bike.



And finally, he thought this was a better way to "stack" the Jenga pieces.





Have a great evening!

Lizard Salad & Tagged

Most of you have no idea how clever my son, Gentry, can be around the house. I'm always finding new things that he has reorganized or moved to fit his idea of "pleasing". Usually, it consists of stacking things, grouping similar objects, etc. They serve as tiny little surprises to find around the house that can let one, little by little, into the creative (and OCD) frame of mind of my son. He never points out his little creations, as he does them more on impulse than for attention. Imagine my surprise the other night when cooking dinner to turn around and find my salad had be altered...
