One of the reasons I love to quilt is the beautiful fabric I get to use when I do it.  Not only that – but once the quilt is done I essentially have a whole new gorgeous piece of fabric.  Lately I’ve been dreaming of designing my own fabric and the website www.Spoonflower.com has made […]

  I bought a pair of adjustable roller skates at a garage sale a few weeks ago.  Cedi was really excited to try them out but I had to pick up some padded gear first.  Yesterday was her first day on her skates and she spent well over an hour on them – already well […]

LOVING Pip’s huge belly! I have so much I want to write for you all but this adorable little one is not really giving me ANY time at the computer!  I’ll update when I can 🙂

I actually have made lots of quilts in the last year so it was difficult for me to figure out exactly which one to share.  I finally decided on my quilt, ‘Owl Be Yours’ that I created for the ‘Be My Valentine’ Project QUILTING Challenge.   As I’m looking back on these post’s Amy was actually […]

Right after I had Cedi someone was on Oprah that could understand what a baby was saying with its cries.  I actually found that it really worked!  I had to just look these up to remind myself so I had some help with Pip: The basics: Neh means “I’m Hungry” Owh means “I’m Tired” Eh […]

I just couldn’t resist sharing with you some of the pictures I took of the blossoms around my orchard. Beautiful pink plum blossoms.The first of our apple blossoms – I believe this is on a Zestar! tree. Stunning snowy white pear blossoms. Plum blossoms (from last weekend). And I realize this is not a apple […]

Normally I would try to split up all the news I’m about to share with you into multiple posts but considering I rarely get a few minutes to be at the computer these days I figure I better just do it all now. PIP I’ll start with an update on Pip.  I can’t believe that […]

I’ll admit – I think Pip’s a bit more time consuming than my other two babes.  Don’t get me wrong – she’s a really good baby but she doesn’t like to be put down – she either wants to be fed or held.  It’s making sewing a bit difficult to fit in.  When she is […]
