Just before Camp Mimi and Papa began, I finished the felt kit Christmas stocking for Sonja.




More fun crafting with Iris at "Camp Mimi and Papa" … painted rocks and driftwood, lavender wands, small knit scarf for stuffed bird, paper umbrellas, machine embroidery bag for  wishing pennies, memory folder … fun for all!







Lavender wands …
Thanks, Kathy, for the lavender!

Iris bought a petrified wood zipper pull at a craft store in Ilwaco during our camping trip. It apparently came in a nice little bag that Iris wanted to use to keep "wishing pennies" in. Unfortunately, the bag was misplaced. I'm not sure what happened to it, as I never did see it myself. So we made another one with a machine embroidery design. The basic bag is the Christmas Gift Bag from Designs By Sick. I removed the Christmas design and added a heart that Iris chose and her initials. She picked the fabrics, thread colors and ribbon. Hope all her wishes come true! 

Iris helped pick out the fabric to use on this hooded baby towel, and I made it last night. We got a text from our friends that the baby boy this towel is for was born today. What a wonderful Father's Day for the family! I made a small wash mitt with the remainder of the hand towel used for the hood.


Iris is at "Camp Mimi and Papa" from May 31 to June 20. Our first crafting project together was a chenille applique on a t-shirt.
