Spring has Sprung.

Tomorrow is SEW DAY!!!!! After I put my blocks back into their rows (It only took and hour to lay them out the first time...when we pinned them together into rows someone-MOM- forgot one.....so now I have to lay them all back out and find the missing one its spot) hopefully I can start sewing on my quilt!

One of my girlfriends got me this sweater for Neyland to wear this winter so I embroidered it with his daddy's business! It turned out really cute!! The same girl that bought Neyland his sweater just had a baby boy of her own. This is his first Easter and she wanted him to have an adorable little Easter Basket......Ta-Da! I made the basket liner with help from my grandmother....no we did not have a pattern nor a tutorial. I don't think this could have turned out any cuter. I can't wait to see pictures of it filled with his "Easter Bunny" goodies!!!

This is my second project for the week. An apron! Have I ever made any sort of clothing before? NO. Have I ever looked at a pattern before? NOPE!!! With the help of my grandmother and mom....this is the result. I still have to put the monogram on...I ran out of time today! There was a 4 year old running around and driving me nuts. I love him but boy is he rowdy!!!!

Now back to cartoons, bath time, & puppies to love on. Hopefully they won't whimper ALL night & I can get some sleep.

Today was such a gorgeous Spring Day! Sunshine & sixty degree weather! Tomorrow will be gloomy! A great day for sewing!

This has been a very busy and exciting week around our house. I've been sewing and coming up with new projects....thanks to by life long friend who is keeping my busy!!! Our dog, Lady, had 6 (yes I said 6) puppies. I am so in love with each and every one of them. The runt is my favorite. I have always been partial to the runt....probably because I was the runt my whole life!

This is the material I have started collecting for my Tennessee Quilts. My husband & I both bleed Orange....our son who is due in July will have the name "Neyland." But I'm making one of these quilts for my Brother In Law. It's his very late Christmas Present!!! Hopefully I can get it finished in the next month or so....that is if I don't come up with more projects. Wednesday is sew day so maybe if I get some fabric before now and then I can finally start. This is one of my new projects. My girlfriend had requested a black, white, & red apron for her birthday...so this is the fabric and buttons. The stitching and monogram will be in red! I think this will be beautiful. I'll make me a black, white & pink one.....one of these days.

This is Lady aka LadyBugg! She is our Cavilier King Charles Spaniel/Terrier mix. She is a very loveable and playful dog. She is also a VERY good mother. I was worried at first but she caught on like a pro & watches us like a hawk if we pick up one of her babies. We now have 8 dogs at our house! Hitler (I had nothing to do with the name) is the father & our adopted dog. Our neighbor brought him home but he lives at our house. He has become very protective of us and lets us know when we have company.

Tomorrow will be a busy rainy day of crafting! More cutting, sewing, planning, and plenty of laughs with mom! Maybe reading a few more blogs. I found a baby quilt or three that I want to make for Neyland....I better get started!!! Now back to basketball and time with my boys!

Burp Cloths!

What new mom doesn't need burp cloths?? And we all know that we want them to be cute!! Well ta-da....cute burp cloths!!!!
