Green/Yellow - More Blocks

Mothers Day

So, I tried to take a photo of Gillian and my Dogs for Mothers Day.  The only thing harder to take pictures of than kids are dogs......or vice versa.  However you want to look at it.


Here are Gillian, Marla & Buzz Lightyear


Here are Gillian, Tulip & Buzz Light Year



Here is Tulip consoling Gillian after Buzz Lightyear got taken away.

Soaper Hero Love!!

Ever Since the first "Pancakes and Maple Syrup" Lip Balm my husband brought me, I've been in love with SoaperHero products.  Her lip balms are delicious and all natural.  

She is a local artisan that can be found on Etsy and  at Craft Sabbath.  Jeff followed up the lip balm with christmas cinnamon soap, egg shaped soap, and some sort of delicious berry soap. 

Whenever I need unique gifts I call on her.   This "Sassie" Soap is for derby girl and long time friend "Sassie Lass."  She is having a baby in July and this will be Thank you presents at her baby shower.


It even looks like playdoh!!


So CUTE!


I also love Tea Tree Oil in everything.  It is naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal, so it is a great essential oil to add to soap!  I hope she continues to make more of this.  She gave me two bars today and I already know I want two more.  Or Ten.



Plus, Her lip balms are as delicious as they are soothing. 





Civil War BOM

This is a class I am taking at Quilters Haven in Bountiful.  It is a Civil War Block of the Month.  I thought this would be a fun challenge quilt that would reinforce technique and precision.  Most of my current projects are about avoiding anything traditional in quilting.  

I knew these blocks would be difficult, but I didn't realize how time consuming.  I have an average of four hours per block.

Adopted Project



We had our First Ever Modern Quilt Guild Sewing Day.  It was really fun.  There were demonstrations on home machine quilting and plenty of food.  While there, I adopted this Yellow/Green project.
