summertime.

yall know how it is...it's summertime.

kids wanna live outside sun up to sun down.
mouths & lips are dyed by extreme popsicle consumption.
playing in the rain.
every night = ice cream night.
over crowded beaches & pools.
sunscreen = the smell of the day.
sandwiches = the lunch of choice.
everything else in the world just ceases to exist.
*like my laptop & my sewing machine*

and now it's a holiday weekend.
so we'll times that list by at least 10. HA>

happy 4th of july weekend yall.

happy valentine's day yall.

this is what i woke up to...heart shaped eggs.

i. have. the. best. hubby. ever.

it's NEVER to early to quilt for the holidays

so i did a fun little project. it was a sew along with pat sloan. and it was super fun. i decided to use fall colors and fabrics. and this definitely put me in the fall spirit. {so much that my niece & i painted our nails a deep plum color last night!!!}

i think that this is an awesome little table runner/wall quilt. i can use the bright orange with plum side for halloween and then flip it over to the pumpkin, maple, acorn side for thanksgiving. i love multi purpose projects. don't you???

this measures 20 1/2 x 37 and i swear up and down that pat has the very best technique for flying geese units. yall should try it. i'm SO not intimidated by them anymore because she makes them SO simple.

check out her website. http://www.quiltershome.com/

so, with that being said, i'm off to play in my holiday fabrics.
bring on the pumpkins, hay bales, falling leaves, and scarecrows. i'm ready.

{and then snowflakes and hot chocolate with santa baby!!! i better stop before i quilt something christmas!!!}
