In my pretty Garden

In my pretty Garden...the flowers are nodding...

Do any of you know that song from my childhood?

I finally have a finished quilt!

 This one features a lot of fabrics from one of my very favorite lines-- Fresh Cut, by Heather Bailey.

There is quite a few others thrown in too of course.  I pieced this one clear back in June, before I put the sewing machine away for summer. It finally got binding! Yeah! 

 Of course it got a super soft minky back. I quilted it with a kind of funky flower design that I am lovin' right now. 

 It will be headed to the Shop very soon.  

   

Just a peek....

...at one of the three quilts I'm working on right now. ;)

First Day of School

I absolutely can not believe it is the end of August!!!

We have had a crazy busy, fun, lazy summer. The quieter it is on the blog, the crazier life is. ;) 

You may have noticed I basically took the summer off from sewing, but don't worry--the machine came out of retirement today!

Kyle and Gracie started school on Tuesday. We are officially mourning the end of summer. 

I love our summers together. I am so blessed to have such great kids and to get to be home with them so much. We really have some great times. I don't think it could get much better.  

Jewelry

I had fun the other night making a bunch of new jewelry for my sister.

I unfortunately didn't get a good picture. Some of these are earrings, and some are pendants to be added to a chain. 

This one is my faves. ;)   I love turquoise.

The Pillow Talk { Swap }

This is the pillow my partner made me for 

The Pillow Talk {Swap}, round three. 

 Isn't it great? I just love that texture.

Emily did a great job for me, and I appreciate it!

July...Already?

So it's been pretty quiet on the blog lately, but that just means life has been crazy busy!  Hopefully I'll get more photo's uploaded soon.

We got to spend five days at Lake Powell with some great friends!

We had so much fun together. 

We love Lake Powell!
