I just finished cutting out my next project, I'm so excited!

Logan's Birthday Quilt!
I had so much fun making this one! Logan has been into pirates lately as you can tell by his party theme, so this was an appropriate quilt for him. I decided to try and do the machine quilting part myself. I know I am no where near being able to do anything fancier that straight, well...fairly straight, lines. It took alot of time to do all the quilting seeing as I could only work on it when he was either not home, or asleep. I am happy with how it turned out, but I don't see myself doing many quilts this way (no worries Jen, you still have my business.)

I have been taking alot of pictures lately and I love my camera with only one slight complaint. When the strap is around my neck, the weight of my camera makes the strap a little uncomfortable. I made this strap cover out of fabric scraps in hope that it will solve my problem. It seems to be working.

Look what came in the mail! YAY! I have been anticipating their arrival. I can't wait to sit down and pour over these books in search of inspiration for my next project.

I've been enjoying this little purchase as well.

My gift to our beautiful baby Pearl! Welcome, we love you! Congratulations John & Liz!

Finally finished! I have been working on this baby quilt for my friend Melissa and her new baby. I am happy to say that it is finished and has been delivered. I love the way this quilt turned out. The colors are so cheerful, it was so much fun to make. Congratulations Melissa! Happy Birthday Emmy!

A few weeks ago I got together with some good friends for a fun day of sewing. Jenn & Steph - you guys are awesome, I love ya! I look forward to many more sewing days to come!



I can always count on Em for a pose:) Love ya!

Spring Break is over! I am so sad:( So much for the daily blogging. Oh well! It was a pretty uneventful yet wonderful week. I spent most of my time just hanging out with my cute kiddos watching movies, playing games, sewing, and lots of playing outside-weather permitting.

Noelle spent some time turning this

into this. I am so pround of her.



Logan learned to do this:


He is so, so AWESOME!

And Lila did alot of this

and this:


How long until summer break? I can't wait!

So, I am doing better. Only a week and a half between posts rather than a year and a half. A step in the right direction I must say. This week I have been busy helping some of my wonderful friends with a few sewing projects. I was also able to work on a few of my own projects...a quilt for a friend who is having a baby, a quilt for myself (in bright springy colors because I am so sick of winter), and some new Easter skirts for my girls. I am so happy with how they turned out. Can I just say that I love Heather Bailey fabrics especially the Nicey Jane line which is what I used to make my girls skirts. I will post pictures of the kids wearing the clothes when it warms up enough to actually take them outside for some photos. I am so excited this week is Spring Break. Noelle and I have plans to make a few more skirts for her to wear this summer. She is excited to be making them for herself. She has turned into this very capable young woman...what happened? I was able to snap a few pics of Noelle so she could post on them on her blog. I'm not playing favorites I promise...she is the one of my children who is willing to cooperate when I get the camera out.
