oh my heart!

 I have a confession to make...

Mr.b and I quit exchanging gifts a few years ago.

When you've been married almost 49 years what more is there?

Cards, candy, flowers? Been there done all that.

Make no mistake...I like surprises when I'm least expecting it.

This isn't your get out of jail card guys.

Today I gave him homemade fresh out of the oven doughnuts

with pink frosting and sprinkles.

And hopefully I get shrimp on Sunday.

Now that's what love is all about!

happy birthday

 These doll dresses were supposed to be Christmas dresses 

and then I got busy.

So...I decided they could still be Valentine dresses

and then they got pushed aside again.

In the end I'm calling them birthday dresses.

 I might get the red one finished yet this week, maybe.

There was a birthday at our house yesterday.

And birthdays are like everything else during this covid aren't they?

legos

 Mr. b finished his second lego table today.

The first one went to our youngest granddaughters 

and the second one was commissioned by a library.

The shelves will hold numerous baskets of legos

with enough room around the table for six kids to play on.

Lucky kids!

I love weekends!

 We enjoyed a slow weekend at home...

 There were movies, have you watched Fatima on Netflix? Don't miss it!

No Super Bowl for me...

there is just too much money involved in it, ads, players and halftime show.

Beef vegetable soup because I can't let a weekend go by 

without making a big kettle of homemade soup.

Building, Mr. b made another lego table.

And quilting...

There are 260 five-inch squares in this pile...enough to make two lap quilts.

They are all juvenile prints 

and are destined to go to two special ladies.

play time

 Who wants to play doctor and patient with me?

I had these American Girl clothes whipped up in no time at all 

and they were both free patterns from Pinterest.

I'm so glad I have granddaughters to sew for.

 CAt ZiP PoUcH

free pattern found on Pinterest.

Perfect for holding a little girl's lunch money.

bird bag?

I love making fun bags 

and this Finch Bucket drawstring bag fits that description.

 I had 3 1/2 inch squares left over from this quilt

so I only had to cut three extra squares.

I wonder why the pattern writer calls it a finch bucket?

It makes a great travel project bag.
