Playground Weather

 The first week of January brought some unseasonably warm weather around 50degrees! So we made the most of a couple days and hit the playgrounds.

This is one of my favorite playgrounds, it's just a few blocks from Aunt Jean and Uncle ben's house and is great because it has the padded playground surface. It's like rubber padding, and so it's never muddy and you never have sand or pebbles or wood chips in your shoes.

See the nice surface, when you walk on it, it's like walking on puffy slippers!

He's so cute! Love that dimple smile!

Two days of play! WOW!

This is Kent Park, which is closer to home, but it has the wood chips. Still an excellent playground. 

Snowpants are a must at any winter playground, not only because it's chilly, but the slides always have dew or melted snow on them!

Nice to look back on these days since tomorrow the high is supposed to be 3 degrees.

A Fun Finish

I got this quilt loaded on Freddie, it's the quilt I had a helper making. 

It's the same pattern as the Halloween quilt. Nice and easy with no matching seams required!

Here's the design-it's called dancing leaves. It's really pretty and has a center placement instead of a 4 point placement, a first for me!
 

But my helper needed some play time first.

We went to a new to us playground. It was a good one!

And a little bit of messing around!

And here it is all done!

I pieced the backing from some 108" leftovers. It came out really good!

It was naother windy day, but I got some finished pictures anyway.

The quilting design looks really nice!

Nice sunshine there....

And I put it on the hanger replacing the Halloween quilt. It'll do until I make a more Autumn quilt. 

The Busy Guy Got a Haircut

 

Doesn't he look sad!!

He did a fine job again this time.

And a sucker for a reward.

Uncle Ben was over and gave him a quick spin down the driveway on Grampa's motorcycle. 

He was not a big fan.

He likes the slide at any playground better!

Or the swing in the yard.

or riding his bike!
