Chloe's Quilt

When we first started prepping for a transition to twin beds for Chloe and April, I started seeing pictures online of these "scrappy trip quilts" that seemed to be pretty easy to put together.  6 rows on a diagonal lend the pattern to many different designs...plus, there was a "cheat" step so as not to sew itty-bitty squares together.


I started this process at the end of January.  I bought material, started Chloe's and Aprils, bought more material, charted out which squares I would need.....stopped working on April's, since she has her bed rail up (a good enough excuse) and just focused on getting Chloe's done.

Today, we put it on her bed!!







6 rows by 8 rows....48 blocks....288 strips of fabric....15 bobbin re-fills :)  She seems to like it :)

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
