Monaco Patchwork.

I have finally finished the Monaco patchwork baby quilt.  I love how it turned out.  I decided to go 100% organic and use organic cotton Sherpa for the backing.  Have you ever worked with that stuff?!  WoW!  It's oh so soft and just gorgeous.  I am thoroughly impressed and will be buying more, hands down.  It's nice and thick which allowed me to get away without using any batting.

This time, rather than quilting it, I hand tied in all the corners of the squares with light pink embroidery floss.  I am so impressed with how it turned out, I want to make one for G {in the boy pattern of course!}

It's in the shop, go check it out!

Winner!! Winner!!

Monaco.

It's time for a little patchwork blanket again!  I am going all organic this time. First organic quilt I've made!  I am using the Monaluna Monaco fabric {for girls}.  This is one of my favorite fabric lines.  I just love everything about it!  Of course everything that Jennifer designs is just adorable!

The chicks...

The scooters...

or maybe I just love EVERYTHING about the fabric line!!  I can't wait to show you the progress of the quilt!!  More to come very soon!

30.

Today, at 12:53pm I turn 30.  Wow.  30.  I can remember when I had a babysitter who was 30 and she was "so old", and now here I sit, feeling so young still!  Does it always stay that way?  Will I feel this way when I am 40?  So weird.  You would think you feel wiser or different somehow, but really....I don't.  I still feel 25. 

I just had a great week-long visit with my family from California, and now it's back to reality tomorrow.  We had a great time!  Too bad the weather kept us house bound 2 of the 5 days!  Hot and humid do not go hand in hand. But we did light of some early fireworks...and I have the mosquito bites to prove it!

I hope you all have a great {and safe} Fourth of July!!

All boxed up.

I got about 30 or so items all boxed up and shipped up to Watertown, SD for the Fiddle Stix grand opening over the weekned!  Yes!  My goodies are now in a cute little shop!  How exciting huh?

I've never mailed that much stuff before, I was a little nervous about it, but I've spoken with the owner and everything arrived safe and sound!

Long Time!!

I know it's been a while, sorry guys!  I am still here!! :)  G started crawling, which is keeping me VERY busy, and has begun only giving me hour naps...leaving me little to no time to sew, blog, or create...but thats ok!  He's only little for such a short time right?!

I only have 3 ruffle bags left in the shop, and as of today they are on sale {at a BIG DISCOUNT}  They came down from $58 to $40.  I will not be making any more ruffle bags, unless I get a custom order for one.  I will be replacing these with reusable, washable market totes to carry your grocery items in {sorry none to show off just yet}....they are pretty cute and should be in the shop within the next few weeks!  These are the three ruffle bags I have left:

{This one is made with Organic cotton on the outside!}

Perfect to use for a weekend getaway this summer, or use everyday as a carry-all bag or diaper bag!

In other news...E lost his first AND second tooth, the tooth fairy came, and the dog chewed up my tooth fairy pillow I made for him.  E was pretty upset with her, and thought the tooth fairy wouldn't be able to come until he had another one!  So I am off to make a new one!

Hope your all enjoying SUMMER!!! :)
