sewing and snowing!!

This morning was fun to wake up to a lovely blanket of white outside!! With not feeling well this last week (thanks so much for all the kindest well wishes!), it got me in the mood to sew a little. I had gotten a couple more granny squares done last week and then got a couple more done today!! I only have 4 more left and then I'll get to start sewing the quilt top together!!


I really love how they are turning out!! The colors looks so soft and pretty against the linen!! And of course I had to take them outside to get a few pictures of them in the snow before it all melted away. :)


Here are the four new ones!
Little Red Riding Hood in Red, Aqua and Pink


Squirrel in the rain!



Hansel and Gretal


Little Red Riding Hood in Pink and Green




I can't wait to see it all put together!  I think it is going to be a favorite new quilt!!


This week-end my son had a boy scout cake auction, and this is the cake that we made.  With me not feeling so well, my hubby did a lot of it with him, but I helped with the trees.  :)  I think it turned out really cute!!


Hope you are having a lovely day!!

    Another question....we are redoing our front hallway/adjoining bathroom. So I am trying to pick out tile. Where about in your house are the tiles in your picture? Do you know any info about them? So many decisions! Thanks for your help!

  15. These blocks are so very sweet. Snow? Yikes! We had sleet and snow Thursday, just a few days after a tornado. Crazy. I hope you are feeling much, much better. ~Kelly
