so far, i’ve made eight squares for the granny square quilt. or quilts. who knows. #1-4… #5-8… all 8…
last day.
friday was ike’s last day of preschool. he has a party at the park tomorrow, but that doesn’t count, because i have to be there. it only counts if i have the morning off from two kids. 🙂 anyhow, i thought i would document via iphone photo. if i was awesome, like the moms on […]
nine.
nine years ago today, this happened. it was unseasonably cold. and rainy. but, made for great pictures. (my brother jake, when he was the cutest kid on earth.) ps. that’s the moses cone manor house on the blue ridge parkway, if you’re thinking it looks familiar. 🙂
granny square quilt.
since i can’t crochet, and i’m really coveting a granny square afghan, i figured the next best thing is to make a granny square quilt. i was recently in a rainbow charm swap at sweet diesel designs and had a pretty stack of 5 inch square rainbow fabrics. Â i added a few of my own […]
