And here is the ‘official’ last block of the quilt along – Pyramids. This was my very first time using a template and all things considered it came together pretty well. I think if I were going to do enough blocks for an entire quilt or two or three.. with ‘odd’ shapes I would get […]
Roll Over!
Yesterday I laid Pip on her back and walked away for a few seconds – by the time I came back she was hanging out on her belly… Today, Pip was chilling on her belly and it wasn’t too long before she was on her back… She’s falling in her sister’s footsteps on being a […]
Pancakes With Papa
Every weekend, Papa gets up with the girls and makes pancakes and/or waffles (sometimes, rarely, they have cereal). Lately, he’s been letting me sleep in a bit and I found these pictures of the pancakes he made on my camera later in the day… How cool is that!? What an amazing Papa and husband! Don’t […]
Ballet 2011
The other weekend was Cedi’s first ballet recital. Cedi started taking ballet at the beginning of this year (I was the mom that forgot to sign my kid up when dance started in the fall). I tried to get a picture of all three girls together…here’s what happened… Cedi LOVED ballet and I LOVED taking […]

EASY RHUBARB DESSERT ~Sue Karman 10 cup diced rhubarb (I found this growing wild by my fence line) 1 (3oz) pkg. strawberry jello […]
Block 8: 4 Wheeler – Modern Solids Patchwork Squared Quilt Along
Here’s the 8th block for the Quilt Along – 4 Wheeler. I did modify this a little bit… Instead of using all teeny tiny squares I made a few rectangles. It really helped me make a more accurate block and I think the end effect is essentially the same. And here’s a photo of the […]
Rainy Day Update
It’s a perfect rainy day out here. The one that I used to cuddle up on the couch with a good book and a hot cup of tea. Now that I have three kiddo’s with lots of energy – these days aren’t quite as peaceful as they were. But I have managed to get all […]
Spoonflower Fabric – Made from Quilts
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 […]
Roller Derby Girls
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 […]
Bath Time Baby!
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 🙂
