Summery

Time has escaped me and my blog has been sorely neglected for months.  I am happy that some summery weather has finally arrived in Western New York!  

A couple months ago I brought my nice camera over to the park to get some picture of the (then) new baby ducklings. I wish they would stay small forever. I have been back recently and they are nearly grown now.  Thankfully the picture capture that moment in time, full of fuzzy coats. 

 I recently added a couple new things to the shop.

A baby quilt. Full of summery goodness. I like that it is gender neutral and so very cheery! Measures 31 inches by 41inches.

A sweet, strawberry mug mat. This would be equally sweet on a dresser as it is on a table.

Lately the cats have been doing a lot of sunning! I can't blame them one bit!

On another note, are you watching Poldark on PBS?  Last night was the first episode. I think it promises to be a great series!

How is your summer going so far?

It's A Spring Thing

I just finished this baby quilt today, and I am just tickled about it!  This has been a long time WIP. It feels good to have finally finished it! I pieced the Mama Blocks using Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille, and various vintage style fabrics.  The border is a sweet floral fabric by Heather Ross, and the

back is a floral print from Scrumptious.  It measures 35 1/2 inches by 35 inches. The generous size is great for baby and toddler too!

I was tempted to keep it for myself but ended up listing it in my shop! 

The sun is finally shining in Western New York but the temperature is anything but spring like! I was encouraged yesterday, however, when I saw 13 robins!  Our cardinal friend has also been

flitting around all around our residence calling out to his mate.  I am keeping the faith that spring is finally heading our way.

What signs of spring have you seen in your neighborhood?

Shop Update

The temperature is finally out of the negative range and I can feel spring trying to make its way here!  Folks, it has been a long, long winter here in Buffalo.  I am happy to finally see my cardinal friend tweeting from the tree in the backyard. My cats are enjoying the sunshine and so am I!

I have been playing with the oh-so-sweet Milk, Sugar, Flower line by Elea Lutz, and Pam Kitty Garden. Who can resist these sweet fabrics???

I'm working on a mini shop update. The mini quilts shown above have already been added. More to come!

What are you working on?
