My baby is 1!!!

A year ago today our little Eva came into our lives weighing in at 6lbs 14oz at 5:37am. She is such a sweet girl who loves to cuddle. It's been a whrilwind of a year. It has gone so fast. I remember Quinn's first year seeming like it took forever, not this time. Happy Birthday baby girl. I love you!!

i love this picture of her yawning. i think it's so funny.

Quilting

i'm working on 2 new quilts and just finished making q a no sew fleece blanket. i'm a busy little seamstress right now. i can't wait to see how these quilts come out.
the red with white polka dots is a minkee type fabric for the back. it will be so warm and cuddly.

i love the fabrics i picked for this quilt.

grrrrr

i'm sick. i'm lacking sleep. i'm grouchy and cynical.
why do i feel bad when i don't call "old" friends, yet i know the phone works both ways. sometimes i don't call just to see how long it will take for them to call me....i think i might be waiting a while.
i know this sounds very juvenile. i warned you with my first 3 sentences.

Little Caesars Pizza

I can still hear the commercial with the Little Caesar guys saying, "pizza pizza." Our town finally got a Little Caesars Pizza shop. I'm excited because I love theirpizza. You can't beat their fresh and ready $5 pizza. Hmmm, maybe for Eva's birthday party, we'll have pizza.
More snow is falling. Yuck.
Our friends had their baby girl yesterday. I get to go see her today. I made a quilt for the new baby and then a matching quilt for the big sister's dolls. I can't wait to give it to her. If you are the praying type, please say a prayer for this family. The big sister was just diagnosed with a rare muscle cancer in her arm. She's 2.5 years old. The good news is that after multiple tests, the cancer is only in her arm in the one spot. She has already started chemo and hopefully at week 12 they will be able to remove the tumor.

1st Snow

We had our first big snow over the weekend. Funny how as a kid I loved the snow. Not so much any more. Quinn loves the snow and loves riding his 4 wheeler in it. This was Eva's first snow and I don't think she was too thrilled. I know, she has blue on, but I wasn't about to buy another snow outfit just so it could be pink. At least she has her pink hat on.
Just a sidenote: is there an easier way to post pics and get them lined up on here. it took me too long to arrange 3 pictures. any advice?














Our snowman/blob has a celery nose and dead hydrenga flower eyes.

Here I Am

Here I am. Another Journalspace transplant. I didn't write a whole lot over there. Just the mundane funny things my kids say or do. I only started that blog because my sister talked me into it. She didn't talk me into it this time. I guess I sort of missed having a place to write my thoughts out. I don't get deep or anything. I save that for my best friends and sisters. You will most likely find me writing about quilting, Quinnisms or baby girl. Quinnisms are the funny things Quinn (my 4 year old) likes to say. I was pleiades over on JS, so I got creative like my sister (forest3) and I am now pleiades2. I hope I learn to like it over here. As of right now I really don't like how it's set up but I'm sure there are positives to it...somewhere.
