I ordered some backing fabric last week and it showed up last night. Well, I added a piece of Anna Maria Horner’s linen Field Study to the order. After finishing up some more postcards this morning, I pulled out an old leather jacket that one of my sisters gave me  knowing it would be deconstructed and reused some day! So, even though I have quilts that are waiting for some attention … I feel a distraction coming on!

Those postcards? Well, here are the next two for Tyler. The first is just to remind him how great it is to be woken up early at camp! Too bad it doesn’t work so well around here – at least not during the summer!

Tyler goes to Camp Bartle where they have an honorary scouting program (or something like that) called Mic-O-Say. This year he got a new rank – Brave. I don’t really know what this means – it’s very secretive! All I know is that they make a pouch that they wear around their neck that has something secretive inside (maybe it’s just air, I don’t know). He also has to walk around all day without a shirt on – and hopefully remembers to apply lots of sunscreen.  There’s more to it than that, but those are the two things I’ve observed! So, I had to make a postcard for that – tho it’s very out of proportion, he’s a skinny kid!

I finished two more for Kiley as well (maybe I can take a day off). So far, she hasn’t gotten any of them! At ballet school, postcards don’t just appear on your bed as they do at boy scout camp! She is trying to figure out the mail system! I think this first one is pretty self-explanatory.

The second one … well, aren’t all ballet dancers affectionately called ‘bun-heads’!
