All caught up!

These are nearly the last of my Busy Little Quilting Bee blocks! There is one more pack of fabric and then it's over. Dana has already finished her quilt...My top is finished, I just need to buy a backing. So excited to have time to sew now school is out. I do need to get back into a getting things done mode soon, though. But not now, It's Saturday!

Balloons

Ever wonder how many balloons it takes to fill a bathroom doorknob deep? About 180.
This is where the toilet should be. (there is an inflatable monkey in it)

The sink.

Closing the door was tricky. My cheeks were a little achy for a while after this but so worth it!(This is how my husband tells his dad he's loved!)

(I don't know why the first bit is underlined...wonder what I bumped...can't make it go away!)

Almost there Busy Little Quilting Bee!!

I'm really pleased with these!! And Have the last two all planned (in my head anyway!) Spent the day today at the creek with my boys and nephews! I love the creek!--Summer has officially started!

Extra entry!

There is a giveaway over at The Fabric Shopper....the best giveaway! 30 fat quarters of Denyse Schmidt's Katie Jump Rope line!! It's my favorite line ever!! So, if you win, can I have it?!?! 9I get an extra entry for blogging about it, too)

UPDATE: Another super giveaway over at The Fabric Shopper!! This time from a line called Hippie Chick. I really want it...in highschool, I worked so hard to be a "hippie Chick" I feel entitled to win. You know, 'cause of all my hard work avoiding the Gap and hemming mumus into mini dresses.

Monday was

Layout for Nephew's quilt from my Busy Little Bee blocks

1/2 a set of napkins from an Ikea duvet

Bettyninja's Busy Little Bee block (took most of the day)

Great!!! It was my birthday. And I got the whole day to myself to sew! And I did! Between visits and gifts and treats and phone calls from family and friends! I felt so loved. So very loved! My husband and boys cleaned the house and made me a tasty dinner and I wore my pajamas all day! Just what I wanted. I'm so grateful and still counting my blessings! (and counting the days till school's out*15*)

Tomorrow's Project

Salad garden! These will grow in a container together! Fun, huh.

MMMM Strawberries! There won't be enough for pies or jam, but I'm excited!

These are pumpkins. There are dozens! The October before last, my boys & I smashed a pumpkin in the yard to see if it would grow. This year we re-seeded the lawn, so the yard has been watered every day. Apparently that is just what our smashed pumpkin seeds have been waiting for! I'm especially excited to see what these do!

Makin' an apron

So, I've been following Tie One On for EVER...I love it! all about aprons, A theme, and the gallery after time's up! RAD! I have never submitted one. Though I looove making aprons. BUT...Now's the time. The theme is Pie Makin' Apron! How perfect. (I love makin' pies!) It's not due 'till July1-I ought to be able to squeeze in sewing time for a little ole apron by then. Especially one for makin' pie in. --I'm thinking a nice sturdy one for catching all the fruit juice. (And I love Amy Karol-She's the author of Tie One On. Bend The Rules Sewing is likely my favorite craft book.)
