9 Patch.

So here is what I have been working on lately...(amongst other things)

Its my variation on a 9 Patch Quilt...It is my very first quilt, although I was planning to start with this quilt along, I decided to go with the 9 Patch because all of my squares were already cut out for me! (That's half the battle, right?) So I went with 6 inch squares, making my blocks around 16 1/2 inches...and I'll finish with white sashing in between and around the edge!

I think I need to put one more block together before I can start on the sashing...I can't wait to see it all come together! And then on to the next one...

I'll leave you with a pic of one of my favorite fabrics...yee-haw!

Whoo Whoo...

Whoo is finally posting again?? ME! Ok, so these owls have been made for about a month and a half and I am just now getting them up here. (Computer is still not working...but I uploaded the pictures to blog and I'm using the laptop to post.) So a while back I spotted these on Ohdeedoh and thought they were super adorable (but I don't really need the music box), then I saw this and thought I did need the "crinkle" and THEN Leslie did this. I combined all three...and although sadly our owls are not inhabiting that same tree as Cade's, they have their own tree now.

Aidan's Owl- no crinkle

Sofia's Owl: Crinkle Crinkle

Photo Shoot...

I just found this post when I decided to try to write some other OLD posts...I figured I should just publish it to show these super cute photos of my baby girl...who is not so baby anymore. :(

I am trying to get caught up my friends...REALLY!

Sewing with paper...

My new favorite thing...so easy...so cute...so rewarding!

Next, I think I'll try this...

I Heart Cupcakes

I am always on the lookout for new (delicious) cupcake spots...so I was really excited when I discovered on this blog, that a new cupcakery, Frostings, was opening in Lake Forest!!

I rushed down the next day and treated the family to this...(excuse the half eaten one!) Now, I am not a true connoisseur of cupcakes (because I will eat almost any that is handed to me) but these were pretty good...moist and not too sweet frosting. And boy are they pretty...
