Thanks Hotomom!

Last week, we got in the mail the last bit of our wins from the great May Sew Mama Sew Giveaway – a headband! Elena LOVED it &  insisted I put it on her right away.  And she was more than happy to style it for the camera. Ack!  Picture is sideways!  I’d correct it, [...]

My Texan Cowgirls

About 6 weeks ago Elena’s Mother’s Day Out (MDO) program had a Western Day. I brought Julia and volunteered with “Western Dance,” which, um, was going round in a circle with the kids and whatever else I could think of (‘okay, Kick! Turn around! Hold hands! and Kick – sure, Kick again!’). Anyway, the kids [...]

Carina’s Quilt

One of my husband’s cousins just had her 3rd baby girl, and while I planned on making her a quilt, I hadn’t even really thought about starting.  That is, I didn’t think about starting until my mother-in-law requested I make the baby a quilt so my mother-in-law could give it. Ummm, okay. So, here is [...]

The “Princess” Pillow

Ahh yes, I do indulge my oldest’s Princess obsession some.  When we were recently at a quilt shop, she decided that she *needed* some Princess fabric.  Luckily, we were at a real quilt shop and not Joann’s, so I wasn’t too worried about her finding a bolt of Disney Princesses. But she did find a [...]

Fire and Water

Finally, my last Spring to Finish finish! Two years ago my quilt guild had a batik charm square exchange, and I was *all* over that!  I had fun cutting out my batiks, but then had a bunch of left-over scraps – a lot of them 5″ crooked strips from the ends of rows. My batiks [...]

Just Ducky

I have finally made this blog known to some of my family members, so HI MOM!  Thought I’d show them some pictures of this past Friday morning’s activity: feeding the ducks! It was GREAT weather — surprisingly not that hot with a great wind, and the girls had a blast feeding the ducks from their [...]

So Much Great News!

I’m over here doing the happy dance! I won 2 – yes 2 – giveaways from the Sew Mama Sew’s May Giveaway Day/Week! First, I won 6 fat quarters from Naptime Quilter! Now, I read through a LOT of giveaways and only added about 6 of them to my google reader (since it is already [...]
