A Penny For Your Thoughts
We spent another long night with Pip last night. She’s been super congested at night since I was gone at Quilt Market. It just hasn’t been getting better so my ‘Mom-o-Meter’ told me it was time to go in and just get her checked out. Sure enough – sinus infection. She hasn’t had one since 2013 […]

Elephant in the Middle Quilt
The actual title of this quilt is “Monkey Elephant in the Middle” but they wouldn’t let me put strikethrough text in my title. I’ve found myself sketching ideas a lot more often then I ever used to before I start working on a new design. The ‘Focus Through the Prism’ Challenge block was the Monkey […]
Ballet Recital 2015
My girls had their ballet recital this past Saturday. They’ve been in dance since September and have been working really hard to be prepared for this performance.
