stacks

Stacks I'm loving.

 

These granny squares waiting to be sewed together...

 

 

grandma's vintage serving bowls

 

 

and dessert bowls...

 

 

raw wood blocks...

 

 

children's books on our coffee table...

 

 

and summer fat quarters.

lilac

When the lilacs are blooming

 I always get in the mood for a purple project.

 

 

Purple and lavender were our wedding colors...

just saying.

What a girl needs...

Mr. b knows what a girl likes...

 

 

is also what a girl needs!

 

A new Brother!

And this Brother is going to be put to the test.

It will be used for my daily marathon sewing sessions.

 

These are just a few of the super cute fabrics I picked up

 on our quilt hop a few weekends ago.

Fat quarters are perfect for most of the projects I sew.

 

 

Come on! You know how I love chickens in any form.

 

 

Farm fabrics are always a hit for our shop bibs.

 

 

I don't like to blog about sad events...

don't we get too much of that on the news?

 

 

Mr. b. sent me this photo yesterday (Sunday)

 from a tornado stricken community here in South Dakota.

He was there to work on telephone lines after the tornado hit.

This beautiful Lutheran church was over 100 years old.

Happy Mother's Day

Moms I admire...

 

 

Thanks to my Mom for all her sacrifices

 while raising five rambunctious kids.

 

 

This is Mr. b's mother 37 years ago.

Mr. b is testament to the great mother she was.

 

These are the Moms that are raising our granddaughters...

 

 

 

...and doing a wonderful job!

 

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.

mug shots

I stitched up a couple of mug rugs this week.

 

 

I loved the pattern. Birds.

The pattern was very unclear so I had to make a test rug

before I cut into the fabric that came with the kit.

 

How about my Desert Rose Hens and Chicks plant?

I fell in love with succulents when we vacationed in

San Francisco a couple of years ago.

 

 

They thrive there like dandelions here in South Dakota.

 

 

Red Bird Red Bird what do you see?

 

Some say a red bird outside your window

 is a sign of good luck and prosperity.

Cinco de Mayo

 Taco Tuesday...

 

 

on May 5th

 

 

 

A good excuse to serve tacos and strawberry margaritas

for dinner wouldn't you say?

Did you find a May Day basket on your doorstep Friday?
