I just never seem to have enough time to get everything done. I have all these projects in my head and I just can't seem to find the time to do them all. I also seem to end up with lots of half finished projects because I get so eager to start on the next one. So silly! :)

Anyways, I did manage to get SOMETHING done this week. I made this for my son's room. He has some very empty walls just waiting to be decorated! I do wish I had looked at the back of the frame before I bought it though. I didn't realize till it was ready to be hung up that it's just a stand-up type frame. I got the idea for this from a quilting magazine, but I hadn't been able to find any really cute boyish fabrics in the little town where I live so I decided to try it with scrapbooking paper. I do still want to quilt the ones I make for the girls though. We'll see when I get around to that!

My baby girl will be 4 months old next week. Since she reached the 6 week mark she has been SUCH an easy baby. And she's so smiley! I just love her little grins and giggles. Here's some pictures of my littlest muffin...

WoW! 6 years already.
6 years ago today I said 'I do' to this wonderful man.



And now 6 years later we have 4 mostly wonderful, very much loved children. :)




We spent the day with Byron's very large family. In all there were 38 people there.
It was LOUD and BUSY but so much fun. I love time spent with family.



AND I went skidooing for the first time in years.
My face felt like it was freezing off by the time we got back but I loved every minute of it.

The tops of my cupboards were looking a little bare.
Boring.
Blah.
So I decided to do something about it. And I think I really like it.


Since I'm to cheap to go to the store and buy some nice blocks, I just got Byron to cut up some 2x4 that we had laying around into 5" blocks for me. Then I slapped some paint on them, sanded around the edges a bit and there they are. Aren't they pretty? ;)

I've been losing a lot of hair lately. You know that wonderful after-baby hair loss. And to make things worse, my little Nadiya has figured out how to grab on to things and unfortunately for my hair it's quite often within her grasp. So I...

...chopped it off.
I don't think she'll be able to reach it quite so easily anymore. So hopefully we won't be having as many hairballs laying around here.

So I'm starting a blog. I'm not sure why. But it's the beginning of a new year, so I'm going to start it by trying something new.

Here is a dress I knitted for my daughter a few months ago. I think it's absolutely the cutest on her, and the picture really doesn't do it justice.



I found the pattern on the internet from a blog called Knitting Adventures.

I'm trying to finish a quilt for my baby girl. It's the first time I've ever done any kind of free motion quilting so it's definitely a learning thing. But so far I'm happy with it.
Here's a little peek. Now let's hope I get it done before she outgrows it. :)
