 Our weekend was full of adventure. Trevor was in charge of taking us out and planning a fun day and that he did. We went up to Seymour to check out the snow, but because he's a guy we were not dressed properly at all so we just drove around.  So pretty.
 Lainey was so excited for an adventure. 
 We went to the suspension bridge. It was so nice out we had a great time. Here are some photos.
 Love this girl more and more everyday.


 How cute is theat:)


 haha she wanted to play in all the mud. And she filled her pockets with rocks.
 Love love love
 She is having so much fun running around.



 So I had an etsy order yesterday and I wanted to make a bag for the bean bags to go into. So I made this cute drawstring pouch.

 Here is a little card I made for my package too.

 And then I also put in one of my mini Kleenex holders. This is how I will package it and put it in the envelop. So exciting! Hope someone loves it.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Quilting in the evening

Last night we had a couple of friends over for dinner, it is so awesome to see Lainey grow with her friends her age. After they left I decided I wanted to make a quilt. I had it in my mind that I was going to start it and finish it and that is what I did:) This little patchwork quilt measures 42" x 36" I love the colors. I used Moda Bliss, I have been sewing a lot with this lately, just love this line. I did not use the green from this line, I think I will make something else with that color combination. 
Check out Lainey peeking at me. lol She was wondering why I was hiding, so cute.
 The back is also bliss dots and cherries in aqua.

 I also made this flying geese quilt a few weeks ago. I bought a quilt designed my Julie at Jaybirds and I just love it. I have only made 2 quilts using solid fabric and I am liking it more and more. I love how this quilt looks, I almost want to hang it, but I won't:)
 The back of the quilt is in a mint green knit. So soft. I bought it awhile on line not realizing it was a knit,  it worked perfect for this quilt and was wide enough that I just used the one piece. 
I love being able to start and finish a quilt. I only with I could tackle larger ones like that.

A few little projects

Hey Grandpa anything look familiar???? This is my grandmothers shirt. On my last visit to Toronto my grandpa brought some of there old clothes for me, awesome!!! So as soon as I saw this I had a great idea.  
 To turn it into this! A little dress. I love the way it turned out. The only thing is I made it a little too small. I think it would fit a girl wearing 12 months clothes:( So Jules if Peyton is please let me know and I will send it to you. If not I will save it for when we have another baby.
 Close up of the buttons on the front top.
 A new pair of cozy flannel pants for Lainey. So soft and vintage/ pj looking haha. 
 A little quilt from the "swoon" pattern. I just made one block but I plan to make a whole quilt of it. It is beautiful, I love this pattern.
 Love this girl! She likes saying cheese now, the only thing is we have a cheap camera that is so slow I miss all the smiles and drive her crazy trying to take a million pictures:( She likes to sit on this new quilt and wrap herself in it. I am using it as a table topper but she plays with it.
 Sewing machine cover. I have wanted to make this for awhile now and I am so glad I did. Since the sewing machine is on our table which is in our, dining room/ computer room/ tv room/ toy room, it needs to look nice when I am not using it. This makes me so happy when ever I see it:)

 This kid loves play-dou. She will play it for a very long time. We got an amazing bucket of it from Costco, such a great price. I recommend it. It was suppose to be her Christmas gift but she was sick and need something special. I really shouldn't buy Christmas presents early because I get to excited and I want to share it with the person I bought it for. 



 Lainey in the awesome hat Grandma made. I really need to take more pictures now that her hand foot mouth disease is gone. Thank goodness so gross.
 Cup Cozy's! I love these I made myself one out of the material from a few post ago and I use it all the time. 
I have also made a couple of other things I forgot to photograph. A thread catcher for when I am sewing, let me tell you it is so great. A scarf for my sister for her birthday and I loved it so much I made one too. Some Kleenex holders for on the go. Curtains for my kitchen, I have a love hate issue with them. Can't decide if they look too crafty, does that make sense? I have also started making all the Christmas presents, I am doing a handmade Christmas:)
Hope everyone enjoys there weekend.
