Sabbatical - Week One

I have enlisted Little Man's help in the making of a donation quilt for Nancy's recent request.

LM brought this selected group of his mag tile circles upstairs to help "pick the best colors" from my resource boxes.

Once the 6.5" squares were cut, he laid them out on the design wall (7 across x 9 down).

And this is the result.  

I won't stitch it together until after he goes home at the end of next week.

As I cut, he nabbed the cut off pieces and started designing "a placemat" for his house.

When the slab turned out to be 23" x 26" he tested it as a quilt for Pikachu and Meri (his class mascot meerkat from kindergarten).

Their new quilt-to-be is pin basted and waiting to be quilted.  

The roll of leftover binding will work perfectly to finish it up.

Beyblades (and their arena) are one of LM's most-played-with-toys these days.

Dee Dah took him to Target and these new ones came home . . . but before they could be played with, LM had to promise to vacuum out the car. 

He was diligent about getting every piece of dirt.

He also found time to make this new beaded sun catcher.

Daddy will borrow him one morning next week - the cast is due to be removed if all checks out okay on the x-rays.  

In its place, he'll have a removable brace (no more rubber shower sleeve).

Lots more things to do during Week Two . . . I'll check in again late next week.
