i’ve been on a finishing up quilts rampage this month. mostly because hazel sleeps. and because they’ve all come together at the same time. but mostly the sleeping. i started making these quilts for my friend brie’s THREE daughters. she had just found out she was pregnant with her fourth, so i cut and planned […]

matchy matchy quilts for my girlzzz
awhile back, when i first laid eyes on it, i bought a fat quarter bundle of wee wander fabric (by sarah jane studios) to make quilts for anna and hazel. i didn’t really have a plan, but i knew i wanted to make matching quilts in each of the colorways. i decided on a free […]
two sad quilts.
a bit of background. i have some friends. who had two kiddos. the oldest, a girl named corban, was born with some sort of super rare chromosome abnormality (i’m not exactly sure it even has a name). when she was born, they weren’t sure she would make it through the night. she was in the […]
pre family beach trip catch up post.
ok. get ready for one zillion pictures. then, i’m going to try to make sure nothing fun or picture worthy happens in the next two days. because on saturday, we pack up and our little family of five will head to the beach. and you can be sure that i will be over facebooking, instagramming […]
the “it’s finally spring” edition of my bi-weekly catch up posts.
we’ve been keeping pretty busy around here. my little artist anna keeps making fun pictures. this is a blue alligator in the making. since we are down to seven chickens, i decided they could live inside the coop for awhile and our yard (and deck) could finally be free of chicken poop. it will also […]
the first quilt post-hazel.
i just completed my first post-hazel quilt. it’s for the third deaton baby. i was originally just going to do some patchwork, but i had made the last deaton baby this quilt, so i wanted to make a sort of matchy quilt for this guy. once i was informed that robots and space would be […]
the last two weeks and five days…
warning. i think there’s 33 total pictures to document. starting off with this knucklehead. valentine addressing. (side note: based on the loot isaac brought home, he was the only kid that didn’t give out a pile of candy. just tattoos.) the valentines day party was postponed, however, when this blizzard happened. the kids raced over […]
much ado about nothing.
things have been pretty boring around here. standard kid stuff. he’s way too many pictures to document our lack of anything exciting… the first of many hazel pictures. naturally. sad sad anna, after we told her about lucy killing our favorite chicken, tina fey. i had to promise her we would get more chickens. we […]
a dreaded quilt finish.
last year, for Christmas, derek got me a tula pink salt water fat quarter bundle. i decided i would use it to make a quilt that was a bit more time consuming. not my “usual” (see: wonky star). and would be more challenging. i settled on a kaleidoscope quilt. as i am often prone to […]
a girlier quilt for the girl.
i made a last minute decision to make a quick patchwork quilt for lid kid three. one that was a little more girlie. the first was a gender neutral-ish. anyhooo… i grabbed a stack of pinks, aquas, gray/topes and whites and got to work. it quickly grew and is a little bigger than i had […]
