What's new?: mid-week check in

February 20, 2008

mid-week check in

First off, before I forget (which I'm so easily bound to do) go check out the CUTE winner of the vintage pillowcase craft challenge over at Handmade Parade. Actually, ALL of the entries were really cute! You can see them in this Flickr set. Great ideas!!!

If you've any interest in making those raggy-edged flannel baby blankies like I showed in the previous post, JoAnn's has their $5.99 flannel on sale for $2/yd this week! Here's some sweet groupings I bought for future use

What made me go was the SO CUTE owl fabric that Lori Marie had recently shown on her blog. The owls look so much like the sweet ones she sells in her etsy shop! Not only did my J's have it in stock, no one had touched the bolt yet so I bought all 8 yards! I see LOTS of cutie little girl p.j.'s in my sewing future. ;-)

Miss Kadence came to town for a quick visit last night. It was such a beautiful day here today so she and I walked up to Melissa's house to see my other sweeties... Here we all are getting a dose of vitamin D. Aren't I one lucky grandma?

Madison turned 3 months old yesterday. She smiles and coos all the time. We try and try to capture her magic on camera but so far no "wow!" photos. Although this one Melissa took today sure shows off those blue eyes!

Okay. Back to work. I've got the top of my FreddyDotCom quilt done, (they're 10inch squares)

but more work to follow with the fence post and circle borders!
