Yesterday, after getting home from Mom's and Doughnuts at my daughters school, I came home to two excited little boys and a husband who found a sweet little bird. This little guy wasn't moving much and so Clint and the boys made a little nest for him in a cereal box. He was a scared little guy and after a while of checking on him - and keeping the boys away from him - I realized he was calling...

So, it is my turn on the book tour. Emilyand I met several years ago at one of my first quilt shows, HMQS in Salt Lake - not sure the year, but I am assuming it was around 5 years ago. Emily has always amazed me with her design talents. Her quilt patterns and fabric are so darn cute and now, she has a book! A great book at that! I love that she has made this book for guys in mind. There are...

Thank you so much for your sweet kind words on my birthday! I loved reading your comments and I really appreciate your friendship. I had a marvelous birthday. I was able to go on an early morning ride on my new bike. It's a sweet comfort road bike with humungous wheels! I have had a lot of fun with this bike! It has helped me realize how out of shape I am, darn it! Good thing I have this bike to...

So, this week has been one crazy week! I have been all alone - well, with 3 kids but no Clint. That means I had to run the business, the house and the kids all by myself. I am not complaining - not one bit, but I am sooo ready for Clint to be home. Just another 1 1/2 hours until I get to kiss that gorgeous face of his! I got a ton of things done, I even mowed the lawn twice this week - you're...

You know that rush you get when your points are absolutely perfect? I'm having that rush now.....I guess I am a little crazy, but the perfectionist in me can't handle not getting the points just right. I can not wait to show you what I am working on! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

So, my couches are brown, and I like them (even though they are brown) - but our pillows were dead and needed some sprucing up. I went to a few places just to buy pillows because Clint said I would never get to making them myself. I took that as a challenge, especially when I priced out the pillows I wanted and the cheapest ones were $20 a piece, the ones I really wanted were $40 bucks a piece. I...

Spring is here and the roses are in bloom! Isn't this beautiful? It is crazy around here. Tons of things going on, but I did manage to take time today to smell the roses. 

I wanted to make you aware of a couple of things.  I will be participating in Quiltmaker's100 blocks blog tour and my day is Tuesday, May 1st.  You will see my block in a couple different color schemes.

My block is on the cover...
