My Baby turns 28 years old!

My granddaughter drew pictures of "herself, her little sister, her Dad and her Mom" on fabric and I sewed up a pillow for her to give her Mommy as her birthday present...  It was a big hit with her Mom:)

So perfect in every way :)

Don't you just love the perfection of a baby's hand?

How pretty are these?

My dearest friend, Kathy, came over for a visit Tuesday and look what she brought me!

Just makes you think of Spring being here soon...

TaDa! My first crochet pillowcase is finished:)

Now that I have my 'practice' pillowcase done - I can pick out some gorgeous Amy Butler fabrics and make another one:)  I loved this project - was so quick to do:)

Crochet Progress

After my lesson last night from Marsha:)  She's the best teacher, so very patient!

I had this pillowcase that I had hand embrodiery a while back - thought it would be the perfect pillowcase to crochet a scalloped edge on.  But, I had a bit of a problem getting the needle thru the cotton fabric.  So my hubby came to the rescue...

He brought me in his 'awl' from the garage and it made my life sooooo much easier!

Thanks Hubby:)

You can find them at any local hardware store - I think Joann's should start stocking them:)

All done!

My Stack and Whack is done:)

Now to quilt and bind:)

Our light fixture is here - the bathroom is complete!

Our bathroom is complete!  Our lighting fixture came yesterday:)

A new set of pillowcases

Laura Gunn's new Magnolia series - this is the agua and lime green dogwood prints.  I made the pillowcases in reverse.  Love them!  They make me think of Spring:)

Something other than our Bathroom Remodel!

Cluck Cluck Sew has a tutorial that I am using to make our dogs' groomer a baby boy quilt.
Here is the link....

I used her stack and whack method shown here...

Here is my fabric selection...  The dots are from Sandy Gervais and the Owls are from Keri Schneider for Blank Quilting (2008).  Seems like I have been having it in my stash for a bit...
I'll be showing the finished product soon!

The shower door and throne are in place:)

 We couldn't be more pleased with the shower door.  Hubby took his first shower last night and was a happy boy:)

                    Love the way the step up turned out.  We had an amazing tiler...

Who doesn't love a new throne?

Now all we have left is the light fixture which is on its way and then I will have one final picture of the vanity and the new pretty light:)

The Throne is Here!

So happy our new toilet has arrived!  What did we ever do without the internet - it allows you to save so much money!!!
