Quilt's I'd Like To Try!

 

I bought this pattern about a month or so ago from Cluck Cluck Sew, and I have been dying to try it...just trying to find the perfect fabric for it!  Isn't it so cute?  Would make the perfect baby quilt.  I love that it comes in crib size too!!

I found this beautiful orange quilt over at Sew Sara.  She makes really nice quilts, and it gave me inspiration to make my rag quilt!  I'd love to make an orange quilt sometime in the future!

This is probably one of my favorite quilt designs.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it looks like it belongs in a nursery.  I just love it.  I think it would be really hard to get the shapes accurate though.  I found this design over at A Quilt is Nice. 

This quilt has been one of my favorite designs for a LONG time!  I love how original it is.  I actually made it last year, but have yet to finish it.  Over half the work is already done, all that's left is the quilting, and putting the front and back together, and the binding!!  I always seem to find something else that must be worked on!  I found this beautiful quilt design over at Cluck Cluck Sew again {I love her blog}.

Do you have any quilts you are currently working on??  I'd love to see them! :)

A Few of My Favorites.

After months of my hubby begging me to make a super soft minky blanket or quilt for the couch, I finally decided to just do it!  I am going to make a rag quilt with my favorite fabrics on the front and the back will be some sort of super soft minky. 

 It requires 100 squares!!  Wowza!  Thats a lot of cutting!!!  I choose 16 different fabrics, and threw in a couple more at the last minute that I just couldn't resist.  Our couches are a dark green with brown piping, and I've been wanting to paint the walls a new shade from Benjamin Moore thats a blue-ish grey.  {So Pretty}...but I wasn't sure how my green couches would look with it.  I think this quilt will tie them together perfeclty!  Especially with the white trim we have, I can't wait to show you guys...now don't get too excited...painting seems to take us ages around here!!

Here's a sneak peak at the fabrics I have choosen for the quilt:

Watching What I Eat. {literally}

I've been trying to watch what I eat lately.  I actually got down to the size I wore after baby #2. It just doesn't seem to fit the same.  There is fat that is in different places now.  Ugh.  But I still would like to loose 10 more lbs.  {wouldn't we all!?}  Seems like the last 10lbs are the hardest to loose. 

Now I'm not about to go on the Biggest Loser or do anything drastic!!   ESPECIALLY when all I can eat think about is delicious sweets.  I mean really, who can resist these, especially with the photography that makes it look.so.good:

Cake Ball Cookies from Sugar Derby

mmm, my mouth is watering.  And talk about a

cute way to announce the sex of your baby!!  I'm going to have to remember this...just in case...I mean you NEVER know! :)

No bake chewy cookies and cream bars from picky palate

Next time we have pot-luck at work, this is what I'm bringing!!  I love how cute that cake stand is!

Mintastic Cheesecake Brownies from Inside BruCrew Life

Love mint, and chocolate and cheesecake.  Yes Please.

Tonight is grocery shopping night.  I am definitely going to be bringing home some supplies to makes these sweet treats with!!

A BIG Submarine.

{notice that crooked little smile?  He's still numb from his 1st filling}

Seriously!?  Did that really just happen??  I'm sure it's happened to ALL of us, but seriously?! 

The other night E and S were taking a bath before bed.  Daddy was doing the dirty work while I rocked baby G.  Me and G decided to head downstairs

and tell the big bro's good night.

Next thing I know E looks at me and says "I had to go poopie and then I was sitting in the tub, and now look what happened".  I didn't want to, but I had to. 

I didn't want to play go fish. 

Of course the tub was filled with bubbles, so trying to see exactly what he was talking about became a little bit more challenging.  I thought I saw it.  I yanked Sam out of the tub, and told him not to touch anything, especially his mouth

{yes I am a germaphobe like that}. 

And guess who the lucky one was to go fish!?  {ME}  Oh Joy.  I don't know how in the world a submarine of that size managed to "sneak" it's was out in the bathtub.  Totally gross.  Is this something only a 5 year old boy would do?  Or would a girl do this too?  Is this the kind of stuff I get to look forward to for the next 20 years?

Give me a can of Lysol, and some sani wipes and I think I might survive. 

{Not including heart attacks, mean pranks, and dirty jokes}

Let's Hear it For The Boys!!

Ugh!  I just love that song from the 80's...now it's going to be stuck in my head all day again! 
I finally got some boy-ish diaper bags in the works.  I debated for the longest time about putting ruffles on the diaper bag with boy material on it.  Finally I decided you know that bag is mostly for us Mom's anyhow, and I would definelty want something girly {heck I have 3 boys and I carry a pink scooter diaper bag, haha}  So I put boy-ish ruffles on it!  Turned out so cute I have 2 more in the works!  Check it out:

{it's the cutest print from Michael Miller - can't remember what it's called though....do you know?}

Then I made this organic blanket for a bloggy friend of mine who just had a little boy:

{I put his initial on it...sshhh, she doesn't know I made it, it's a suprise!}

I just recieved a custom order from a co-worker for her sweet baby boy's quilt.  She is due in about 15 weeks.  I can't wait to see her little guy!  She choose these prints:

{fabric in this picture can be found in this cute etsy shop}

That is going to be super cute!!  Thanks Meaghan!!  I will show you guys pictures along the way.

I am wanting to fill my shop with lots of BOY items, whats your favorite boy fabric right now??  I'm lovin the owls.  Speaking of owls...I am making a few for my shop!  Keep your eyes on the lookout!! :)
