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!

Super Duper Quick Baby Blanket Tutorial (for beginners)

So you've procrastinated on getting a friend a baby gift...you panic! What to do! You don't have time to make a quilt or run out and find something on that registry of 1000 things! 

Burp Cloths & Receiving Blanket

So I I've been eyeballing some flannel lately and found the cutest prints at JoAnn's. I went with these particular prints because a friend of mine is having a baby boy. She painted his nursery "Where the Wild Things Are" themed. The Monster print goes perfectly....even though they aren't the same monsters...they'll do. Here are the goodies...
