The quilt is finally finished!

Today, I finished this quilt I started in September! I took a beginning quilt class at a fabric store here in town with a friend of mine. It was so much fun and I am so excited to know how to quilt now! Next project (after Christmas) is a quilt for Kaylee's bed. I am going to use Amy Butler's free pattern for the Daisy Chain quilt. I think I will just need to add 2 rows of squares to the bottom to make it fit Kaylee's twin bed. Its made from the fabric I carry in my Etsy shop. I am going to use a different color scheme than they suggest though.

Here are the pretty mitered corners and you can also see the striped back.

I am pretty happy with it, although there are things I would do differently. I would definitely use different fabric on the doors and windows of the house. Other than that I love it and I look forward to cuddling up with it for years to come!

6th of 6th tag.....

Ok, so Jolie tagged me a couple of weeks ago and I am just now getting around to doing it. You are supposed to post the 6th picture in your 6th photo album. This is a picture of Jackson when he was about 5 months old. He is so, so, so cute! Oh, why can't they stay little forever? In a lot of ways its nice that the kids are older but I so miss those chubby cheeks and being able to carry them. I love how you can just love on them all you want and they love it too. Jackson is such a great kid! He loves school , church, Star Wars, Harry Potter, his dog Polly, but most of all his family! He is always so kind to the kids at school. He told me the other day he saw a first grader crying so he asked him what was wrong. The little boy said nobody would play with him so Jackson asked him if he wanted to play basketball with him. What a great kid! We are so blessed to have him in our little family!
Love you, Jackson!!!!
Okay, now I tag Erica, Laura Lee, Steph, Erin and Krista. Tag your it!

Happy Halloween!

Here are the kids (and carved pumpkins) on Halloween night. Jackson (last minute) decided he wanted to be a nerd, so he put on his church clothes (?) ,sandals with socks, and nerd glasses. He looked pretty nerdy! Joshua had a friend over and they watched TV and gave out candy. I makes me sad that he's too old to trick or treat. Bummer! Kaylee was a witch, but all she wore was her old witches dress, no hat, no ugly makeup. Someone asked Jackson what he was and he said " a nerd" and then she said to Kaylee " Oh, are you a nerd, too?" She said, " no I'm a witch". The lady then said," Oh, I thought because of the glasses and the dress!" It was funny! Kaylee didn't care, she thought it was funny too.
