Quilts, cakes & crochet

Hi again, I've actually found time to blog....its a miracle.
Roll on the Easter break, morning lie ins, food galore, chocolate
bunnies, eggs, bears, mini eggs, cakes......lots of it!!!!
Four more days YESSSSS!
Anyhoo I managed to sew up the quilt top over the last few days,I actually have to fight 
to get into my lovely sewing room that I waited for years & years & years 
to have....Bethany has spent the last month entrenched there sewing 
costumes for her cosplay conventions....she's real good.
Must show you a few of her creations soon.
So back to the quilt top

  Keeping it simple but I will embroider some flowers 
& a lil message for baby on it.....can't wait to finish & see the 
end result.


Bit of progress on this too.....

I started this last summer & have been real neglectful
Am loving it though & am feeling a renewal of interest in finishing it.
Tiny wee squares can be a little monotonous but I'm determined 
& excited about it....good sign eh!!!

We had a birthday in the house this weekend, Lauren turned
24....I can't believe it ....24?
I should feel old but I don't...must be all the cakes keeping me youthful.

We had a tea party




Twas real tasty & much enjoyed by all.
Will be back again soon
Love you guys

  3. Yay, another post! Love the hearts in your quilt...love the whole thing, really, but the hearts are cute. That little squares blanket is amazing. I would never have the patience! Glad you are getting some time to craft. Your cupcakes look pretty and yummy, and your girls are adorable.
