the pedal tractor



This pedal tractor is about 30 years old. We aren’t sure when we bought it, we only know the boys were little at the time. The steering wheel wasn’t working. The back tires were cracked and the chain was a frozen mess. With grandsons around now, it seemed like a good time to fix it up. 


A fresh coat of paint! It’s was already looking better...


New...
back wheels 
hubcaps 
bolt to hold seat on
chain and guard 
pin to hold on the steering wheel
decals 


The decals are my favorite part. Luke came over to try it. His legs are still too short. He sat on, we pushed it around some too. In the end he climbed on to the plastic airplane and pushed himself around on that. Zander is at his dad’s this week. So, this weekend he will get to try it out. 


Baby quilt blocks from the temperature quilt leftovers. Next time I blog, I hope it’s about Long Time Gone as a top. I’m sewing the sections together now.

barns and the temperature quilt...


When I finished all the months and laid them out, I decided just to sew them together. It is ready for a trip to the quilter. There is left over cut pieces. They might become a baby quilt. 
Now the barns....




My three barns



Max has two done! 



Gwen has two done!
Things are moving right along.
