I have been working on art quilts lately, but the progress has been slow, but I thought I'd share a few posts on other crafty stuff that's been going on. My nephew Alex broke his arm at summer camp so can't do quite as many activites as usual. But he loves succulents, so when he and my sister came up a few weeks ago, we had fun making these little terraria (including adding in some lego minifigs).

He also wanted to make spool people. We started out with spools but then branched into some rubber stoppers I had from work. Just fun with random craft supplies.
Later on in the summer, my friend brought over her two crafty granddaughters and we had another crafty evening, this time making notebook covers. I had a bunch of small empty notebooks and we made fabric covers for them. The girls picked out fabrics from the stash and did the sewing and cutting. It was fun! They also had fun making a little bow for Blue's head, I'm not sure what he thought of the proceedings.
One of them chose this delightful orange and black cat fabric that I picked up somewhere on sale after halloween. I also used it to make a pillow cover for a friend of mine.
And a final random crafty project, my mom's dog chewed off the top of her favorite hiking hat. She sent it to me to mend and I was pretty proud of how good the mend turned out. You can see the patch, but given the fact that the whole top had been ripped off along with part of the front I think it turned out pretty well!
Hope you're all staying cool this summer and having some fun crafty time.
