oh, so lovely!

i got my package today from jessica and oh, my is this little monkey ever so lovely!! my daughter almost claimed our new friend, but oh, no he has his new home in our living room for everyone to oohh and aahh over. :)

this adorable little quilt also came with him and it is just as lovely. i can't believe it has my favorite fabric in it, the hr mushrooms!! THANKS, JESSICA!!!

this week i worked on a patchwork valance for my girls room, and just got it finished this morning. i quilted it so it would almost look as a quilt was hanging in their window. i love how it turned out. now i just need to get the perfect rod. :)

the banner i also did this week and it was a quick and easy project, and adds a wonderful touch to the window as well.

i did a larger stipple than i usually do, since i wanted it to be a pretty quick and easy project.

the banner hanging in their window now. i just love the colors, so bright and cheery!

hope everyone has a wonderful valentines day!!

more lovelies for baby ava!

yummy booties!! i made these ones from tanya whelans picnic rose in blue fabric

booties from the ohh, so cute japanese hedgehog fabric!!

i am in love with these vintage lamps!!! i found this at a second hand store and now have a couple for my family! :) and am still looking for more!!! this one though, was so perfect for ava's room.

for the banner i used this simple tutorial. the hardest thing with the banner was deciding on which fabrics to use since i could only use a few!!! i had too many cute ones to choose from. now that can be a problem!! :)

the ava doll!! i used bit of whimsey's doodle girl doll pattern for this adorable doll!

i also have to include one picture of the coin quilt in ava's nursrey! :) doesn't it go perfect with the adorable bumper tasha made!

i had so much fun making all the these lovely little handmades for tasha! she is one of my best friends and she has always been an inspiration to me. i would have never gotten into quilting if it wasn't for her encourgement. thanks tasha!!! :)
