Mosaic Monday

I hope your week is filled with romance and other sweet things!

I'm Trying To Raise My Grade

If you noticed on Monday's mosaic... all the wonderful things my DDIL
made for the baby's room, you might have wondered what I have made
for that sweet little baby that will be arriving soon.

Well, the answer is nothing. Nada. Zilch!
I am getting an "F" in Grandma 101 class so far!
I made that post and then thought...
well, that is just embarrassing!
So, I got out a pattern that I had been wanting to work on.
(good intentions here)

...and got my rotary cutter in hand,  grabbed a sweet little stack of
Pam Kitty Morning fabric and got to work.

So this was Tuesday.

I did see this cute plate... my grand daughter needs special

Valentine dishes doesn't she?

I did resist the teapot set from Pottery Barn Kids though.

Then by last night I had gotten this far.

So, I am catching the Dresden bug again.

I had completed this king size quilt last January.

These things are just addicting!

And while I was rummaging through my

UFO projects... I found this one...

I don't know why I hadn't finished it. The Scottie dogs are all finished.

All I need to do is put them into rows and make the border.

I think that this could count as a second quilt for

 baby Evie and it could just get done before her arrival date.

So I might just be raising my grade up from an F to an
acceptable C, especially if I get a grip on this project here.
It's DIY cloth diapers. Very cute... but something I have NEVER
had any experience with what-so-ever.
Who knows, I might even get a B in Grandma 101 by March deadline...
especially if I get a few dozen burp cloths made and some... uh,
what are those things called?...
oh yeah, bibs!

Mosaic Monday

This weekend I split my time between visiting the hubs in the hospital
and with my DIL, who was a Super Bowl widow for the weekend.
I got to stay in the baby's room... fortunately there is still a guest bed
in the room.
I thought I would share pictures of the room decor that was inspired
by this pattern below.

When I found out the "theme" of the baby's room... Verna Mosquera

had just released this pattern.. it was a match made in heaven!

Jillian loved the pattern... it was just what she envisioned...

and it wasn't long before she made ALL of the coordinates for a perfect

room for Evelyn... arrival: March 2012.

You Amaze Me

I loved each and every quilt, pillow, runner and topper that was in the Full House parade!

I think there was nearly 60 quilts, 60 awesome bloggers who joined in!

You all amaze me!


So, I was going to tell you, that due to my honey being in the hospital
and being stressed in general... I was really hoping for a quick and easy project this month...
for the next AYOS.
 I looked on my list and saw this one. I.S.T.H.
I went through my pattern stack and found it.
Usually Carrie has a little blurb in her patterns on how she came up with the name but
this time I could easily see... those initials are mixed up.
They really should be
S.H.I.T.
That was the first word out of my mouth
when I opened the pattern and saw little half square triangles and then I flipped the pattern over
and took another look at the name... yeah, I am certain there was a mix up with the letters!

Ok, that being said, it really wasn't bad at all. See- I managed to make it
even though I am working and spending the same amount of time in a ICU!
I know you all will have no problem at all getting it done!
Really.

There was a question about the button... so I thought I would explain...

If you don't have our button but would like to put it on your sidebar...

here it is. There isn't a code for it though, you can just link it to
