6 - Quilt for Niece


My second finish of 2021.  I actually started and finished this one in the same year.  My brother recommended “millennium pink”. Which I had to google.  It’s basically like a light pink. I added in some other colors and then found a vintage sheet with those colors and used it too although mostly on the back.  The pattern is something I have seen before but I don’t know where I just winged it as I did it.  I quilted it in like a light purple thread which is almost impossible to tell from these photos.  I made a little tag for it.  I do like to include the babies name but since we don’t yet know her name I just signed mine.  I love the softness of the quilt because the backing is vintage sheet it’s Super soft.  Anyhow I can’t wait to meet her.  And I will say baby quilts sometimes are soooo quick maybe I need to make a few more.

11 - Hang School Photos



Does anyone other than me love school photos?  They are so corny and usually awkward smiles/hair etc.  but I LOVE THEM!  
Turns out I also like the goofy sports pics too.  Same type of awkward with a uniform.  Anyhow months ago I purchased frames at IKEA for these and never hung them in our hallways I am missing a few years of preschool, I probably should have a place where I store such photos but I don’t.  But I hung 8 of them, not sure if I will swap them out as the kids get older or just add more to the walls.  I love seeing them as I walk down the hall, as a reminder of how much my kids have grown in the last few years.

In other news I also hung more kids art in the kids bathroom. I am hoping they can create me more Oceanic and pirate themed art in coming months.
