Advice Please!

I want to make a series of minis to put above the couch here.....I plan to frame them all in separate white shabby chic style frames...which size do you think would look best?

Mother's Day

This year for Mother's Day,my daughter Kaitlyn (on the left) and 4 of her friends planned an elaborate garden dinner party for the 5 moms. They decorated,cooked,and served a fabulous dinner. It was wonderful...all the mom's couldn't remember a nicer Mother's Day. :)

Self Portrait Friday

So a lot of my blog friends do this self portrait thing on Fridays.....thought I might give it a whirl. Took this photo before work on Friday....ok,so its in the bathroom,I know. My photo skills are somewhat limited. :)

Spent the glorious California weekend working on the happy squares,and gardening.....something I am not really good at. Hopefully everything will live.

Happy Little Squares

I needed some happy....so nothin says happy to me like 30s prints! These little buggers finish at 4" and make me smile just workin on them.......the middle squares will all be the hot pink polka dots. Girlie city!

Sewing again

Potholders in progress....after a long absence from sewing,I am back! These are for my Mom for her birthday....then I made a set of placemats for a gift....then onto some mindless log cabin squares from my scrap bin......

My New Life

Life has kinda gotten in the way of blogging and sewing for that matter lately. I haven't touched fabric or my machine in over a month. The orchid above was a housewarming gift from my two best girlsfriends.....housewarming you say? Yes,things are a bit different around here. I am one month into a divorce......no need to feel sad for me,I should have done this long ago. I moved this weekend into a lovely little townhouse and am busy nesting and unpacking. The master bedroom is large enough to have a sewing area on one side.....I spent my first weekend alone,while my 14 year old daughter spent the weekend with her dad. I think I will have waaaaay more free time in this new life. :)

Anyway,once things get settled I want to make some quilted pillows for my new digs. The townhouse came already decorated in shabby chic style,so will have lots of fun playing house. Hope all is well with my quilting buds! Onward and upward!

Another Finish

This is hot off the press...another of my "brainless sewing" quilts. I am liking these more and more. This is done in mostly Judie Rothermel's Civil War Dressing Gowns as well as a few others. I was going for a soft cottagey feel.
