Little Small Things

One of the biggest laughs for me in the movie NANNY MC PHEE is when actress Celia Imrie ...an aggressive date (Mrs. Q) for the new widower, calls the children 'little small things'. The children were pretty typical in how they interacted with a mother substitute. Funny tricks. Mean tricks to drive her away.

I am working with a number of little small things trying to figure out how to make toilet lid mats. They are only meant to sit on the top of the toilet back or lid, though I have seen some that wrap around it with elastic. 

Part of the challenge is finding fabrics, and then finding a pattern that works for that size. I'd like to do all that prepping first and then quilt them all at the same time. I will make the lil twister pattern for a couple of them, and spent time finding 6" patterns for the others.

6" blocks are more challenging than one would think. Small doesn't mean easy. And limited colors make a difference too. I've done okay with choosing holiday fabrics, but am getting down in my supplies where it takes creativity in matching little small things.

Three Good Things / Day 6:

1. Took down non-working fairy lights in the garden & replaced white with red lights that were stored in the shed
2. Removed dead plant matter from South garden, filling the trash container for the week
3. Re-organized & sorted patterns into sections
