Have you seen this quilt??

 

This has my DIY’er tingling!

 

These hexie’s are for the super patient. 

 

And I think I know myself well enough to know that my A.D.D. would act up.

 

hmmmmm……

 

This quilt pattern is from the 20′s.

 

I just die over it’s vinatge feel!

 

I know, I know.  I’m on a major sewing kick!  My appologies :)

 

Sasha started school this week.

 

The boys were so excited that she would be joining them every day!

 

They all wanted to come with us to her class.

 

Brook highlighted and trimmed her hair last night. 

 

After many MANY requests for “black highlights”  he added some very subtle brown to her color.

 

I told her that I’d have to

 

stop calling her SUGAR and start calling her HONEY

 

since that’s the new color of her hair.

 

And she just had to have her hair in pigtails for the first day.

 

No braids. No barrettes.  Jeez Mom!

 

It sort of kills me that her back pack is almost as big as she is.

 

I can’t believe I have 4 kids in school this year! 

Some days I seriously wonder if I am Attention Deficit. 

 

This week I’m working on a little project. 

 

I should be finishing up all the countless projects that I’ve already started. 

 

But no, 

 

I would much rather sew this baby quilt for my darling nephew Lucas, who is still in the hospital, by the way. 

 

He has been in the NICU for 4 months! 

 

He was born severly premature.

 

His official due date was August 1st and yet he still really can’t breathe all by himself. 

 

Poor guy,

 

poor parents.

 

 

Typically I send my stuff out to be stiplled by someone. 

 

But I thought it would be fun to try something new.

 

So I am spending much time behind my machine as I sew a whole lotta fine lines all over this quilt.

 

Stay tuned….

I am seriously considering putting Hudsy’s bunk bed up for rent. 

 

He never, ever….never sleeps in it!

 

 

Every night he climbs into the top bunk with Roan. 

 

(Can you see Roan?  Kind of?  Those are his long outstretched arms) 

 

I can’t lie.

 

I think it’s SO cute that he wants to sleep next to his big brother!

Of my rug making career!

 

I am currently in the process of snazzifying my study/office.

 

And I love this rug!  I mean LOVE!

 

It’s cute enough for kid’s but not too overly cute for me.

 

And darn it, it’s no longer avaible.

 

So I wouldn’t be acting myself if I didn’t say “I bet I could make that”

 

Here is my pathetic attempt….

It took me almost an entire day to hook this one polka! 

 

If I reeeeaaallly wanted to I could make this rug but it would probably take me the rest of my life.

 

I guess I’ll have to fall in love with something else.

 

Shouldn’t be too difficult :)
