Pentagon Ball...

 I know it's been about 10 days since I posted last but sometimes life just gets in the way.  Anyway, I want to show you this little project that I just finished.

My dear friend, Annie sent me the pentagon shapes to make a ball or ornament.  These pentagons are 1"    I decided to make a little ball for my 6 month old niece.  So I dug out some bright fabric scraps and got to work. 
 I love English Paper Piecing but I had never worked with this shape before.  So here is the final product.  :)  A cute little ball just perfect for her tiny hands. 
 She loves it!  It is her new favorite toy!  :)
 I snapped a few more photos of the Fall leaves.  Most of the leaves have fallen but I took some anyway...

This is what I see when I walk out the front door...
 This is the view facing the house.  You can see the roof of my house and the roof of the old storage building/stalls. 
 This is the road to mom's....isn't it beautiful with all of the trees and fallen leaves...
 Another view...
 The road that goes down into the field where the pond is...
 More photos going to mom's...
 I love living where we do, it's so peaceful and private...
 Don't forget to check out my other blog...Kristie's Pantry to see what I've been up to.

I have seen directions to the ball somewhere but I don't remember where - so nice that you were able to make one for your niece

Thanks for sharing the gorgeous pictures of an area I'll never get to see again. I just may have to make one of those little balls if I can locate the pattern! ---"Love"

You could teach another EPP class on making that ball! : )
Love the shots of the road to your Mom's. SO peaceful!

There's something especially peaceful about a leaf covered road ... pretty in the fall for sure!

I tried making one of those pentagon balls, but it was turning out the size of a golf ball - way too small for me to work with. Guess I should try to make a bigger one next cuz they sure are fun! Looks like a great toy!
