The closest I've gotten

With all of the mini trips that we've been doing 
I managed to get some hand stitching done.


I did a whole cloth quilt for one of my most favorite ladies!
Her baby is due in a couple of weeks
and we just might be throwing her party.
*I'm not allowed to say "shower"*

I would have loved to have made an heirloom quilt 
but her kids all love the simple minky blankets.



I also whipped up some quilted burp cloth's as well.
they're fun and fast.
And I quite enjoy making them.



I'll also be throwing in some of my fave Burt's Bee's baby products.


In other news, I passed by these lovelies the other day
and I just had to bring them home with me!



I have decided to try my hand at indoor plants, yet again!
I've not had the best luck the past zillion times I tried.
But they look so pretty :-) :-) :-)


And lastly, Tackle Football is officially in season!
Both of my oldest boys are playing.


Let the games begin!

  3. That's a great mom-to-be gift set! I think sometimes blankets are more practical for everyday use than the fancier quilts are.

    P.S. Good luck with your plants too! I have a degree in horticulture, so I also love having lots of plants around my home. :) The only tip I have for you is to move the one with the white flowers (the Kalanchoe) to a very bright and sunny location for the best results.

  4. Awesome colors! I loved having simple blankets and burp cloths like that, the stitching makes it extra special! Wonderful gift.

    I am terrible with all types of plants and haven't been brave enough yet to try them in a while. The ones you've look really nice. Good luck with them!

  6. The "party" gifts look great! Good luck with the houseplants! I just brought home an aloe plant after I read they were hard to kill, so I'm hoping...
