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.
