Michelley, aka the Swiss Miss, is not fat and here is the main reason why: exercise.

Summer Projects

I went into this past summer with high hopes of getting many many projects done. I didn't exactly finish as many as I'd have liked,but I did get a few done. Since summer officially ended last week, here's what I accomplished.

An old dry erase board turned into a retro chalkboard.

Mini-quilt, of course it's cat themed.

A pink silk cabled scarf, modeled by the most beautiful girl I could find.

The biggest project of them all, the family of cats. Luckily I had help with this one from my dad and the rest of my family. They were quite a handful and boy do I miss them. I'm glad that Girly-girl got to stay!
