Morning walks on the beach. We never get very far but we always have fun.

IKEAs that aren’t 150 miles away and have the cutest little carts (with parent handles!!). Hope Sean likes the bathmat in there. Um, dear? I bought a bathmat. Hope you like it! And little boys obsessed with maps and trying to figure out if we’re going in the right direction.

And quilts. Of course.

This is what I’ve been working on since Thanksgiving.

144 different cuts of fabric that were ironed and cut into 12,653 pieces of fabric that were pieced into 11 quilt tops.

Now that the house prep is done and we’re just sitting around (ha! yeah right), I’ve gotten back into the sewing groove. Phew. It feels good.

Next week? Binding. My hands hurt just thinking about it.

(Holy grainy photo Batman! That’s the new iPhone. I thought the camera was going to be better?)

Sean’s iPad arrived just as he was getting the kids into the bath. Poor Sean. (See our wonderful children shwacking each other?  Lovely.)

Thread.  Lots and lots of thread.

Pollen.  And the resulting sick, tired, and cranky kids. Sean needs to find a job in Antarctica.

I’m Blue.

I actually am slightly blue.  I wanted a Liberty of London dress from Target but the fabric was horrible.  Come July it would be a hot, sticky, clingy mess.  Hrmph.

After three days of sewing scraps, I managed to use 3lbs 8oz of fabric.

At that rate it will take me over 100 days to piece together all 425+ yards of scraps.

Maeve enjoyed the snow this morning.  Yesterday she was excited at the possibility of a snow day from school but then quickly changed her mind when she realized that would mean yet another Saturday spent at school (we don’t have snow days built in and we’re year round so there is no spring break to use up so we’re left with Saturday school).
