baby quilt

Here's a little baby quilt I quilted this weekend for a baby shower. For a little boy... who's room is going to be decorated in Peter Rabbit.  I love Peter Rabbit!

It's made of pastel homespuns and is really cute up close & personal!

Grilled or Fried?

Introducing....Grilled and Fried1

They are twice this big (at least) now, getting on the poor dog's nerves, and loud!

According to Northern Vermont legend they are both females. Let's hope so.  MacGyver had a weak moment (obviously I wasn't around) and told Hunk#4 and Chicklet they could each get a little chick while we were in Colorado 2 weeks ago.  He told them they could keep the chicks for 28 days. 

Now if they are female, I wouldn't mind trying them out to see what happens. But no one is building a coop, cage, henhouse, etc.  So I will start calling my local friends to see who wants these little beasties.

Green Grocery Bag!

I found this cute pattern on etsy the other day and purchased it.

It's at www.etsy.com/shop/keykalou !

Tell her I sent you!

I have this 'thing' with bags.  I love them! I search high and low for them! But I can never seem to finish making one!

I finished this one! And it wasn't hard, it was easypeasy! 

I had recently purchased this used brightly-striped canvas shower curtain at the thrift store and used that for the outside of the bag.  For the lining, I used this cute all-over fliipflop fabric Kristi gave me last year.  And the cool thing? It's reversible!

I attached one of my fabric flowers to the bag for more 'oohs & ahs'!

weightloss wednesday!

down 4.2 for the first week! woohoo for me!

What's the deal?

I've been trying to upload photos of my fun week and I am not having any luck with this!

Oh, snap!

I have been working on some fun things for Etsy and started listing tonight. I am only listing one a day.

I wanted to upload pix of our little chickens, 'Grilled' & 'Fried', but, alas... no go.

I wanted to upload a snapshot of my breakfast my lovely daughter made for me today, and she served it to me in bed!  I love her!

It's been a busy week, guaranteed!

How's your week been?

Colorado and the girls!

This past week we've been in Colorado working on the house a little.  I managed to sneak away for a little R & R with my San Juan Quilt Guild girlies!

Here's a beautiful picture of the aspen tree outside the front door.
