So Sophie, how many projects can we make from a 10×10 stack?
Project # 1 Baby Bib
This simple patchwork baby bib used only a few 2.5 squares. I cut one strip of 2.5×10 of each of the prints and then sub cut those strips into 2.5×2.5 inch squares. I then sewed those squares together in a simple patchwork pattern, added some linen and lace. I backed the bib in absorbent terry cloth and used my favorite baby bib pattern from the book One Yard Wonders.
You can see that there are still many pieces and scraps to play with. Next week I will share more projects made with the 10×10 left overs.

Once a year I get to host a color swatch challenge at Design House Digital. So this month I put together this cute color scheme:
I also made this mini digital kit that you can download for free!
If you’re a digi scrapper, join in the challenge at Design House Digital for a chance to win a $5 gift certificate.
In addition to that digi challenge, I thought it would be fun to host a craft challenge on my blog using this color scheme.
So create a project, layout, card — any type of craft using these colors, and post a link to your project here. I’ll pick one random participant who will win a grab bag of my Stella and Rose scrapbooking supplies OR 5 fat-quarters from my Holly Jolly Fabric.
Deadline: Wednesday, November 30th 5PM PST.

Welcome to day [3+4] of the October photography challenge. For more information on the challenge read this post.
Day One: Self Portrait
Day Two: What you wore
Day Three: Clouds
Day Four: Something Green
Sorry about being late on Day 3. I was not in the most bloggy mood last night. But I did take my photo yesterday:
Journal: Today was the first “cold” day of the season. You can definitely tell that the weather has turned. If this were Mary Poppins, she would be flying off by now saying that all of her work was done. Or something like that. I think pictures of the sky always look bad. This one included. I thought about taking a picture of some cloud scrapbooking paper… but decided to go and snap the sky since it was the first overcast day that we’ve had in a long time.
And here is my Something Green from day 4:
This is our orange tree! There are quite a few “oranges” in the orange tree. But they are still green — a very pretty green! I can’t wait for them to turn orange, and then I will eat them, and maybe make some marmalade.

**ETA: Welcome to day [2] of the October photography challenge. For more information on the challenge read this post.
Day One: Self Portrait
Day Two: What you wore
Day 2: What you wore today.
I put on JEANS today. like pants with a real waistband. Since having a baby jeans are usually reserved for the occasional hot date. I got for-reals dressed today because we went to brunch at a friend’s house. Then I changed into comfy clothes when we got home so that I could take a nap. So that is why this photo is of my clothes with me not in them (the usual state of my clothes).
And not to be outdone… here is what Ollie wore today:
