<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last fall I called PierMagic to do some polyjacking of my sidewalk. A section had dropped causing a trip hazard. After researching mudjacking vs polyjacking I decided that polyjacking was the way to go. Mudjacking requires heavy equipment, large drill holes and often is only a temporary solution. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The polyjacking is done with smaller equipment and smaller drill holes and little mess to my yard. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When they first arrived at my house, they had to set up their machine by connecting it to a power source. The chemicals were added to the machine and it all had to warm up. Polyjacking is a combination of two chemicals ran through two hoses. When the chemicals are injected into the ground, they turn into a foam that fills the void underneath the concrete. The technician drilled 3/8" holes into the section of sidewalk that had dropped.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the machine was warmed up and ready to go, they injected the polyjacking foam a little at a time. I watched as they would stop and wait after each injection to see if the slab was raising.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could visually watch the section of sidewalk lifting and becoming even with the driveway.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the job was completed, PierMagic cleaned the area for me. A little foam remained in the joints but after a few weeks it became less noticeable. The 3/8" holes were plugged and filled in with a concrete caulk.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It must have been my lucky day. A PierMagic owner and sales guy showed up to see how things were going!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall I was very pleased with the work and would highly recommend <a href="http://www.piermagic.com/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>PierMagic</b></span></a>. They also do foundation repair and new sump pump installation. A couple of years ago I had them install a new sump pump with battery back up for me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made these Big Sis Lil Bro shirts in anticipation of baby J's arrival. I tried to make the sis shirt as girly as possible and the bro shirt have a manly appeal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Baby J was born on 11-12-13 !!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw this roast recipe popping up on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try. It turned out just as good as everyone was bragging it would be. It's a keeper. I used a chuck roast......</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J51bdMWHi9A/UnasqUBs_DI/AAAAAAAANAM/iF2UW4NWZwk/s1600/aaron+quilt+028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J51bdMWHi9A/UnasqUBs_DI/AAAAAAAANAM/iF2UW4NWZwk/s640/aaron+quilt+028.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One stick of unsalted butter, one package of McCormick Au Jus Gravy mix, one package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip and six peperoncini's. No water needed.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rXeZxxRs2Jg/Unasd2Hz4jI/AAAAAAAAM_0/Cy54_KUfb6o/s1600/aaron+quilt+027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rXeZxxRs2Jg/Unasd2Hz4jI/AAAAAAAAM_0/Cy54_KUfb6o/s640/aaron+quilt+027.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the order: Roast, gravy mix, ranch mix, stick of butter, and last the peperoncini's.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7vsyT-jox-0/UnasjBWYdiI/AAAAAAAAM_8/62OZXCxl3rs/s1600/aaron+quilt+030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7vsyT-jox-0/UnasjBWYdiI/AAAAAAAAM_8/62OZXCxl3rs/s640/aaron+quilt+030.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cooked on high for two hours, then turned to low for the next five. Here's how it looked half way done........</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gBRSIkH84vA/Unasnf0gWLI/AAAAAAAANAE/P565NGjOELY/s1600/aaron+quilt+034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gBRSIkH84vA/Unasnf0gWLI/AAAAAAAANAE/P565NGjOELY/s640/aaron+quilt+034.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really wanted mashed potatoes to go with it but forgot to buy them at the store. I had brussel sprouts in the fridge, so that's what my side dish had to be. I sauteed onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent, then added chopped fresh brussel sprouts and bacon bits. Stir fried for about five minutes and it was ready.</span><br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w0C2P6ej0sA/UmRwWzmyoOI/AAAAAAAAM-Q/rAyRpdwJSOE/s1600/macyn+on+quilt-png.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w0C2P6ej0sA/UmRwWzmyoOI/AAAAAAAAM-Q/rAyRpdwJSOE/s640/macyn+on+quilt-png.jpg" width="636" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you visit my blog regularly, this will be a repeat; but I wanted to enter my Oink A Doodle Moo quilt in <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/bloggers-quilt-festival/"><span style="color: orange;"><strong>Amy's Quilt Festival</strong></span></a> and that required a new post.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A special little girl I know is
going to be a big sister soon. This is the baby/toddler size quilt I made her. She
lives next door to her grandma who has horses, pigs and goats (not sure if she
has cows). I purchased Moda's, Oink A Doodle Moo panel in red and then used my
own fabric scraps for the rest of the quilt top.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7Bd_vomrRio/UmRwUNnAURI/AAAAAAAAM-I/p8tAdQXk_jM/s1600/farm+quilt+031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7Bd_vomrRio/UmRwUNnAURI/AAAAAAAAM-I/p8tAdQXk_jM/s640/farm+quilt+031.JPG" width="622" /></a></div>

<a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/blog/" title="AmysCreativeSide"><img alt="AmysCreativeSide" src="http://amyscreativeside.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Fall-BQF-Button-e1380294012428.jpg" style="border: currentColor;" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I received the panel in the
mail, I decided I did not like the red chicken wire print around the panels. It
looked too boyish, so I cut off the red and added thin pink borders and wider
white borders.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KcGXAQKDyME/UmRwJaXcLtI/AAAAAAAAM9g/baB4q6-ktLM/s1600/macyn+and+katie+order+011%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KcGXAQKDyME/UmRwJaXcLtI/AAAAAAAAM9g/baB4q6-ktLM/s640/macyn+and+katie+order+011%5B1%5D.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cut my scrap pieces at 5" in
length and varying widths. The white strips are 3 inches wide. The finished
quilt is 45" squared.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YOviHdArhRk/UmRwI8aG4aI/AAAAAAAAM9c/BGiHjWgAolc/s1600/macyn+and+katie+order+004%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YOviHdArhRk/UmRwI8aG4aI/AAAAAAAAM9c/BGiHjWgAolc/s640/macyn+and+katie+order+004%5B1%5D.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used straight line quilting for
this project. For the 45" width, that came to 150 straight lines. I used the
edge of the walking foot as my guide.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the backing I used Riley
Blake's, Hello Sunshine Birds in red. I thought it was the perfect choice for
the backing to go along with the animals on the front and match all the colors
of the scraps. It also looks like a paisley print from a distance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's project was to finish up this project. A Big Sis shirt in size 3T and a newborn Lil Bro onesie. I found the crocheted pink flower at Joann's and I think it is a really nice addition to the t-shirt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I purposely stitched away from the edges on each letter so after a couple of washings the fabric will fray. I think on the girls shirt it will make it look fantastically shabby chic!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another baby gift order completed. Changing pad, two burp cloths and one minky burp cloth. The requirement for this order was to find corals, teals and yellows. I love the fabric lines Indie Chic and Lilly Belle. I had to find corals from other lines to tie in with the teals and yellow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I finished up a dolly diaper bag with two miniature minky burp cloths.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I used my scraps for this quilted rag quilt bag that turned out really cute. The cotton fabric squares were cut at 4" and the batting was cut at 3.5".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I sandwiched one batting square between two fabric squares and sewed an "X" on each square. I found <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIz-whiBMww"><strong><span style="color: lime;">THIS</span></strong></a> YouTube video that was very helpful. The creator has it broken down into three videos. You'll have to search for the other two or they might pop up on the right side of your screen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have always been hesitant to try making bags because it looked too complicated. But...........it was really easy! Wish I would have tried it along time ago!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went a different route for making the straps than what is in the link I shared. I decided to make the handles with the same technique as the bag.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was a great project to use some of my scraps. I also made two mini minky burp cloths to go in the bag. A coral dimple dot and a white solid. Each has a print fabric on the other side. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finished an order this morning for a jungle themed baby gift. I already had all the fabrics in my stash so I was able to put it together very quickly. Five burp cloths and five wash cloths along with a giraffe onesie. It's unknown if the baby will be a boy or girl so I included a tiny pink bow to attach to the giraffe's neck if it is a girl. I used bamboo velour for the back of four of the washcloths. I did not have enough for all five, so I used a quilted cotton for the back of one of them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can now check off faux chenille blanket from my to-do list !!! Aunt Betty sent me directions to this blanket over 3 years ago. It really was not a difficult project. More time consuming than anything and hard on the hands with all the cutting.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QcM9gi6k8I0/UipzTXjdW7I/AAAAAAAAMxc/6Hy6qAVPikc/s1600/katie+baby+shower+gifts+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QcM9gi6k8I0/UipzTXjdW7I/AAAAAAAAMxc/6Hy6qAVPikc/s640/katie+baby+shower+gifts+001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I chose Riley Blake's Sasparilla in teal for the print and three coordinating flannels in red, teal and blue for the "chenille". I purchased 1.25 yards of each.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bEApz4hiNVw/UipzbCCC02I/AAAAAAAAMxk/i2H0J9dn1Ko/s1600/katie+baby+shower+gifts+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bEApz4hiNVw/UipzbCCC02I/AAAAAAAAMxk/i2H0J9dn1Ko/s640/katie+baby+shower+gifts+004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first step was to wash all the fabrics. Since flannel shrinks quite a bit, I did not want any excessive bunching of the fabrics when I washed the final product. I then laid the Sasparilla print face down on the carpet, stretched and smoothed it in place, then laid down the three flannels and did the same with them. Once I had the four layers stacked and smoothed, I carefully flipped them over and smoothed out any new wrinkles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The first step to start the sewing process is to draw a diagonal line through the middle of the fabric. I used a measuring tape, a yard stick, two bottles of laundry soap and a fabric marking pencil. The soap bottles were to hold the measuring tape in place. I used the yard stick to get a straight line.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I had my line drawn, it was time to start sewing the 168 diagonal lines it would take to make the chenille blanket. I first sewed over the blue chalk line and then used the edge of my walking foot as my guide to finish the other lines.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought this was a lot of work, until I got to the cutting part. This was actually the easy step.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DC_njwJHNoI/Uipz3-jsrOI/AAAAAAAAMyM/CuCq4kgO5wU/s1600/katie+baby+shower+gifts+024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DC_njwJHNoI/Uipz3-jsrOI/AAAAAAAAMyM/CuCq4kgO5wU/s640/katie+baby+shower+gifts+024.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought a pair of chenille cutting scissors from Joann's. You have to cut through the three layers of flannel but not cut into the fourth layer (my sasparilla print). I was nervous with every line and had to flip the blanket over and make sure I was not getting into the fourth layer. The cutting process was very tedious and hard on the hands. The chenille scissors are very, very sharp. I'll spare you the picture of where I stabbed myself in the thigh with them. On accident of course! I was working on the floor, and the scissors were under my leg. Somehow when I reached to grab them, I pushed them into my leg and made a good sized gash that will take a while to heal.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lessons learned for next time:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I will use four layers of flannel instead of three. But i will only cut through three of them. You can see the white of the back of the printed fabric through the cut lines, so I want to try to avoid that next time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I will also make my lines a little further apart. This will make it easier for the cutting process and I'm hoping give a thicker and taller "chenille" look to the blanket.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I won't double the satin binding. I think it's too thin for this blanket and will look better if it's wider.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I used this <a href="http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-faux-chenille-blanket.html">blogger's tutorial</a> as a visual reference. She gives an easy to follow step by step.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A special little girl I know is going to be a big sister soon. This is the toddler size quilt I made her. She lives next door to her grandma who has horses, pigs and goats (not sure if she has cows). I purchased Moda's, Oink A Doodle Moo panel in red and then used my own fabric scraps for the rest of the quilt top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I received the panel in the mail, I decided I did not like the red chicken wire print around the panels. It looked too boyish, so I cut off the red and added thin pink borders and wider white borders.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cut my scrap pieces at 5" in length and varying widths. The white strips are 3 inches wide. The finished quilt is 45" squared.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used straight line quilting for this project. For the 45" width, that came to 150 straight lines. I used the edge of the walking foot as my guide.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the binding, I used Riley Blake's, Hello Sunshine stripe in multi color.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the backing I used Riley Blake's, Hello Sunshine Birds in red. I thought it was the perfect choice for the backing to go along with the animals on the front and match all the colors of the scraps. It also looks like a paisley print from a distance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I completed another order today for a baby boy gift. I went with something "little manly" this time vs something cutesy.
