Yesterday got away from me... including my camera...
so I wasn't able to show you my first DST giveaway!
(de-stashing time)
I found a nice little jelly roll of Basic Grey and a Jelly Roll book
that I want to find a home for.
If you are interested in this little giveaway just leave me a comment and I
will pick a winner for it on Monday. But I have another little something that
I will post a giveaway for tomorrow.
So please check back!
I am loving the weather this weekend.
I am looking forward to DST (daylight savings time)
but mostly because of more light hours. I enjoy winter...
I just need more LIGHT! Longer days mean I can get more done!
This weekend I am working on putting the border on this
little quilt. I am having a brunch tomorrow for my family in
honor of my stepson getting engaged to his girlfriend of 9 years.
A little one, a boy, will be joining the family latter this month.
There isn't a whole lotta fussing about the sweet baby...
I think it has to do with having all sons. They aren't
excited about baby showers etc.
So, instead of that, I am having the boys all bring diapers
and books for the baby.
That way the baby will have a book from each of his uncle's.
If there is any other time available to me this weekend I hope to
put the final borders on this quilt too.
Wish me luck...
oh, and I wish you luck in the giveaway!

Love the quilt! Those flowers are so happy looking. Love the idea of the books, too. We took our favorite books to a shower for my cousin's first baby. It was amazing that no two people brought the same book!

What a sweet giveaway Sinta! I would love to give them both a happy home. :-) Love the diapers and books idea. How fun!
What a lovely idea for the new baby - you should make sure all the uncles write in the front of the book so the baby knows where they all came from and by how many people he is loved! Thank you for sharing your stash :)

I just love DST because I love to outside working in my gardens. Sounds like you have a very fun day planned.
