Mama got a new pair of shoes!

These :)

A few weeks ago my Sister Velvet, Carson and I watched my nephew Bryce while my Bro and Sis-in-law had a little retreat to San Fran. We had such a great time! Spending time with Bryce is reward enough, but a few days after we got home I got a thank you card in the mail with a gift card to DSW!!! Bonus!

Vel chose these:

How did I not take a single picture of our stay? Bummer!

Happy {2nd} Birthday Bryce!

Two years ago today, this lovely child was born...

I absolutely adore this child!

This picture was taken at the rodeo,

Iron County Fair in September.

Bryce is the perfect baby, here's why:

Sleeps like an Angel, put him in his crib with Rhino

and he doesn't make a peep till morning.

Has a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.

Goes with the flow and he's happy with whoever he is with.

SMART! This baby can read, yes r.e.a.d. read!

He has watched Your Baby Can Read since birth.

His Mommy is a Master Teacher and works with him,

right now he is learning his x2's, yes his times tables!

He loves his Aunt Bub.

Superhero Cape

I made this cape for Hunter... he is coo coo for Superhero's!

(my step-daughter's little brother, does that make sense?)

Have you ever checked out I Am Momma Hear Me Roar ?

If you haven't, you should! Her Mom created this pattern and sells it in her etsy shop.

It's one cape... it's reversible. Superman/Batman.

Carson has never cared for Superhero characters, so I had to use this buff pillow for a model

(he's a hunk, isn't he.... haha!)

I know this cape is going to get TONS of use! Enjoy Hunter Buddy,
I <3 you!

Alisha and Aaron's Wedding Quilt

So, I've been a little dry on the project postings lately and this is why...

I've been working on this beauty :).

I started on Alisha's wedding quilt around the first of March.

I was so concerned about keeping this project a secret from my BFF, that I guess I didn't take any pictures of the construction (other than these two).

Zoey wants to lay on it, can you blame her?

When I seen this fabric, I screamed Alisha to me.
Aqua, Brown and Orange
Backing is white linen
Binding is aqua
Hand-quilted (with love!)

This post has been in "draft" because she follows my blog (prob the only person LOL!) so I couldn't share till she had it in her hot little hand.

Wish I would have taken another pic after the sun had set, but here it is the magic hanging sideways quilt (can't get the pic to rotate :(!)
You would never know by looking at these pictures that it's ~124* outside!
