I'm back peeps! Come check out some colorfulness...

Hello everyone!


It's feels good to be back! For those of you who are wondering...baby Lincoln is doing great! Things are getting adjusted around here and everyone is doing fine. Charlie just loves him. I just had my 6 week postpartum appointment and was given the green light on resuming normal activities as well as exercising. I'm really looking forward to spending more time outside and getting into shape....for reals this time.

I'll post more pics of the baby soon :)




Anyways...
With another sleeping schedule to get used to, I've only had the time and energy to sew a couple things. I finally put together The Social Tote by Carolyn Friedlander. I went for a bright modern version. The outside fabric and pincushion prints are from Ziggy by French Bull, the trim is Waterfront Park Domino Dots by Michael Miller and the inside polka dot print is something I picked up at Hobby Lobby forever ago. I love the way it holds my stuff and looks so pretty doing it!


Here are the March Scrapbeelicious Bee blocks for Liz I somehow managed to get done. I seriously don't really own any low volume prints so I really had to dig into my scraps for this one! And...all the half square triangles were a total pain in the butt so I don't think I'll be making anymore of these blocks. The trimming alone was insanity I tell you. Great block but a lot of work! This is definitely a block to choose for a quilting bee. Now onto the April blocks!


I also worked on a birthday package for Nicole of Snip Snippets for our Birthday Bash Swap.  I totally forgot to take pictures though so you'll have to wait until she gets it! Sorry, baby brain. This month is my birthday so I get to take a break from this swap until June. Yay!!!

Well I better run! Catch you later!

Don't forget about Giveaway Day starting this Monday! I'll have some goodies to share with you!

  17. Oh so nice. I don't know which I like best. The scrappy blocks or the social basket. I really need something like that basket and I'm a glutton for scrap blocks. (I found you via Richard and Tanya Friday Finish). Take care.
