I thought that I would go to the quilt shop

But it only took about 30 minutes for Adrian to have Lasik surgery today. We had to drive an hour to Cookeville (the closest city with a doctor that performs Lasik.) I dropped him off and went in to ask what the minimum amount of time he would be in the office.

One hour she replied.

The paperwork said to plan on being there two hours, but one was okay. I could go to Salvation Army and the quilt store.

Totally stoked!!


30 minutes later I have perused Salvation Army (all junk except a pair of tags on sandals for Adrian since he broke his a few weeks ago) and was pulling in at the quilt shop when my phone rings.

With Adrian's ring tone. {{SIGH}}

He's done.

At least tomorrow he has to go back for a post up check up.


Quilt Shop?
Cheddar's ?
Old Navy?
Hobby Lobby?

Probably not all of them, but I really am hoping they have some of the unicorn print that Heather Ross (I think) has out now.

A is For Apron

A while back I was perusing Lisagh's blog when she made the amazing announcement that she was giving away a copy of A is For Apron.



WHAT????!!!!!?????



I SO SO SO want to win, I thought to myself.


And then, I did. Yep, it was very cool.


when the package from Canada arrived I was giddy with excitement.

Oh, man! It is awesome. Look at what was in it!!!

Wrapped in very cute paper:I open it to discover not only A is For Apron, but fabric goodies!! Look how cute. A plaid that reminds me of the fabric that I made Lucy and Rachel's baby bedding out of and some FUN 50's prints. This is totally me. Really. Look how busy I am in that kitchen. Making yummy things for my family.

And look at my hot legs in those heels. It is hard to tell but they are purple.

Dinner looks good. Boy, that would be hard with just one oven. I am soo glad in my real kitchen I have two.

Oh yeah, here is my husband. He works from home, you know. I just finished cooking his lunch and bringing it to him: Later he will have some refreshments outside:

Is that too cute or what? I am so stumped as to what to make from them. But, I have already made an apron from A is For Apron:

This is for the High School band fundraiser. Lucy's class is supposed to bring something related to gardening to be put in a gift basket that they will auction off. It turned out so cute and that is Rachel modeling for me. (in her pajamas)

Thanks, Lisagh!!


Oh, and the pillows that you have been making are killing me. I want one sooo bad. Do you think my husband would notice if I added shams to our bed that had our names on them?

Okay, that would be so funny. Some flowers around his name in a pretty twirly font. LOL

Oh Yeah!

**Edit** I did not explain this very well. THe kit is what I got from Elizabeth and I pulled the finished pics off of her blog.

Sorry. I have not made the quilty cuteness, yet. But I did teach Ella how to embroider and sew last week. She made an apron for a present for her teacher and emboidered a bear on teh pocket since her teacher collects Boyd's Bears.





I have been enjoying getting back into sewing lately. Of course my obsessive personality tells me that if a little sewing is good, then 200 sewing projects will be even more dandy.

I really need to tell that obsessive side to shut it's mouth!

But since I am also scared to spend too much money I have been drooling over everyones wonderful sewing blogs hoping they would have contests. And then one of my all time favorites had a contest. Elizabeth at oh fransson. And OH baby, does she make great stuff. So of course I entered. And then like a miracle. She drew out my name and sent me this:






Now, what is this you are asking yourself? It is a kit to make this:















Oh yeah, I am loving me some baby giraffe quilt. Bring on summer, cause I know what I am going to be doing. Now go and visit her sight cause it has all sorts of amazing tutorials!
