While my mom was hear she helped me tie a quilt for my son's birthday. Tying a quilt with yarn is one of the easiest ways to quilt, but I'd never done it without quilting frames. I usually machine quilt, but with the stretchy minky, I wasn't even going to try that. My favorite part of the quilt is the corner where I...
Blogger was being weird, so sorry if you saw this post earlier and the photos weren't there, for some reason just the text posted the first time. Also, remember to vote for the final 3 projects at One Month To Win It! Season 1 is wrapping up! __________________________________________________ When my first baby was born, my mom got this huge tea cup planter. ...

It's nice because, unlike Pottery Barn, they keep sending you their catalog even if you never buy anything...at least so far.

But I made this one when our first son was born, and plan to add each kid's foot and hand prints to have them all together. Each kid will be a different color, so...
Thank you so much for all the nice comments on the birth of our baby girl. I read every one, and appreciate it so much. She's almost a week old and we've been enjoying her chubby cheeks. I'm feeling pretty great, and recovering much faster than I did with my son. It's been one week, and I feel about where I was at...
