Cub Scouts! Handyman Activity Badge!~

My Webelos I scouts were needing some hands-on requirements met in order to complete their Handyman Activity badge. Ronnie set the race car up so that they could work on their achievements using it. So...Tuesday's Den meeting was held at our house. Ronnie ended up working late so Eddie came down to teach the boys...and was AWESOME at it!

Learning to adjust the seat on a bicycle:

 Learning to "grease up" a bike chain:

 Learning how to change a tire!!

TEAMWORK!

 Checking the oil!!

As strange as this sounds....in the midst of all these "vehicular" things...the next requirement was changing a light bulb in a lamp...LOL....so we did that too!

 And we only had ONE broken bulb! Yay!

Last, but not least, the boys learned how to replace a taillight.

 Then they all took a turn sitting in the race car :) They thought it was super cool!

We had a wonderful evening! The boys really learned a lot of "life skills" and Eddie did an excellent job teaching them!

Projects in progress

My Mom has asked me to make her a purse....so here it is....just awaiting straps!



I think I am going to use some adorable, thick ribbon for the straps--what do you think?
Here is a HUGE bag I am working on for myself!
Made from some of Debbie Mumm's fantastic fabric.



Here is the fabric I chose for a rag-top fleece quilt. I bought this fabric last October and am only now starting on it.


The green and cream fabric in this pic is the backing fabric:
Nancy is on the last step of her quilt! She is binding it as we speak...here are some pics!

Isn't it great! This is her very first quilt! She did a GREAT job :)

Here is the block I received for the Cafe Mom round robin...this block was made by Squirrell and is an appliqued dresden plate...the center medallion is some fabric her grandmother gave her from the 50's...my job is to add a complimentary border...I think this one has to be three inches each side...any ideas???

Here is the block I made to send out....
Here is my Cherry Spinners quilt! THE TOP IS DONE! :0) (The pics def do not do this quilt top justice...it's hard to see the actual colors in the focus fabric from these pics...
