Sleeping in the Sunshine

New Quilt Project

A couple of years ago we made a bunch of denim quilts to give our friends for Christmas. I have one that my mom made and gave to me for my bridal shower, but Patrick really wanted one of his own. I waited until the flannel all went on sale, then dragged him to the store to pick out fabric. This is what we ended up with:

Well, I might have picked the flowery one on the bottom...

Then we headed to get our denim. Mondays are 99 cent tag days at Savers, so we went and bought about 45 sets of denim jeans, skirts, overalls, and whatever else we could find.

We have enough materials to make a couple of quilts, so we probably will. I don't know if we will keep the extra one or give it away. They are really nice to throw in the car for picnics, or to put on bleachers to soften them up. Guess we'll see what happens!

Adorable Bird Pouch

I recently switched to a smaller purse. (Too small, and soon to be replaced, but that's a different story...) I lost all the pockets that I had in my old purse, so I had a lot of loose stuff floating around. I put it all in a ziploc bag until I could find something else to put it in permanently.

I finally found this adorable pouch on Etsy from Downtown Girl Designs and just had to have it! I have loved the fabric print for months now. Also, very nice to feel more organized.

Photos of the Week

From my brother, who is on a mission for his church. He instructed us and my sister and brother-in-law to not have any children while he was gone. No problem!

My new kitchen tablecloth. I brought it home from Mexico, and put a clear piece of plastic on top so the tablecloth itself stays clean. (Stole that idea from my mother-in-law.)
