A Blissful Saturday

You know any day I can play with this fabric, it's a very Blissful day...I've been working on Camden's big Short Story today to match her little Short Story doll carriage quilt. What am I going to do when this project is done...I don't have anymore Bliss projects.

I also got this month Designer BOM block from The Fat Quarter Shop done......gosh I'm loving this fabric too...it's so much fun! I have no clue why there's a pink tint in the white background...it really isn't there...

And all day, my wonderful scissor fob from Darlene kept my scissors safe and sound...I always knew right where they were. Thank you my friend!

I must apologize for being remiss in giving credit to the designer of the quilt in my last post...AmandaJean from Crazy Mom Quilts did this as a quilt along...you can find the directions on her blog side bar...Round and Round Quilt Along. I didn't have time to do it when she did the quilt along, but remembered it and knew it was going to be the second twin's quilt. Thank you so much AmandaJean!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!

It's Been a Really Good Week!

I'm not sure why it has to fly by so darn fast, but it has been a really good week...Monday was my day with mom...she had several errands to run and then we went out to lunch...Tuesday I sewed a good bit and got a lot done on the second baby quilt for the new neighbor twins that are due to arrive in December...yesterday I spent the day with Lynda Hall of Primitive Pieces by Lynda, you can read all about what we did on her blog...today I finished the baby quilt......ready to go to the machine quilter.

Tomorrow I'll start working on Camden's quilt that will match her doll carriage quilt..I get to play with Bliss again...gosh I love that fabric. I'll keep you posted.

I was the very lucky recipient of one of Darlene's wonderful scissor fobs...sorry I don't have a picture...my battery pooped out. Darlene I love it...thank you so much.

The Boys Had a Birthday!

My boys...Howie and Zack...had a birthday yesterday...they turned 8. It was quite an exciting day...new toys and a special dinner, complete with candles......they were both very interested in the candles until the bowls went down on the floor...Howie wanted nothing to do with the candles...I couldn't get him to even get close to the bowl. Zack was very interested, so we quickly blew out the candles before Zack's whiskers burned off...as soon as the candle was blown out Howie's head went right into the bowl and he started eating...the bad news was, he was eating the candle...dad to the rescue...candle out of his mouth before any pieces went down...don't think we'll be able to use this one again.
8:00...they are pooped...they crawled in their bed and weren't heard from the rest of the evening...except for a few snores...it was a big day!
