Baby Cooper's pictures are up...go check out Miranda's awesome work!!
http://mirandarenner.blogspot.com/

Baby Cooper arrived around noon on Jan 20th by induction. 10#'s, over 22 inches long and doing great. I was really nervous to go in for induction since the first one took 2 days of induction and barely made his arrival by the end of the second day. This one was completly different. The rest of the day I kept saying to Kylar "I can't believe it's already over!" good thing I didn't know how large he was, I would have been asking for C section!

Had his pictures taken yesterday morning and will post a ...

So we got the news, we are having another baby boy (Hershey's with nuts)expected to arrive sometime around January 14th. Cade will be 2 January 31st. Still looking for the right name.

Oh wait, before anyone thinks we are having twins, the girl part is our new miniature mule, Tinkerbell, oh so cute, but finding out she definitely has a attitude bigger than her physical self!!

click on this link to see a little video of her, she is only 3 feet tall!!

Let me know which one you'd like and thanks for the comments. I enjoy seeing where people live and learning alittle about you! Thanks!

Here's a little note I gave Kylar a week or 2 ago I made it up myself, I was gigling the whole time, he didn't think I was serious...I am!

As much as I love this little guy.... I gotta say, I'm pretty excited dad just took him to Grandma's house.

For Mother's Day I took 20 Swanky fat quarters, my Sparkling Cider pattern and headed over to Scottie Dog Quilt Shop. Uninterrupted sewing from 11am-8pm. Ohhh it was was so nice and when I got home Kylar had Cade in bed and dinner ready!! Tried to get some pictures this morning, I had a lot of help from the wind and Cade.

Cade liked his baskets....
Hated the bunny, I think he was pretty scary myself! Well hidden eggs

Baby Cade has not enjoyed being on grass. Wouldn't walk on it, wouldn't sit on it, wouldn't touch it. Finally..... progress. His face still looks a little unsure, but this is a huge step. Before he would crumple up in a ball and cry! Look here, he might even be enjoying it! Looks like we can put the Easter eggs in the grass after all!

Here's our newest pattern that you can get on the Moda Bake Shop. It will be available April 2nd. This is a one seam 3D flying geese unit made from charm packs. FUN! Great baby quilt.Look at this...you can use it at a baby shower to put little gifts in..... or to hold cards.
Have fun with it, I did!! You'll see some other ways to use it on Moda Bake Shop. Go check it out and get the directions here.

Here's some of what I have been working on. These are some of my customers quilts, none of these are pieced by me. This is Nancy's cute little applique with a water/meander allover quilting design. Cute quilt! This is our Just Can't Cut It pattern. A high school senior made this. John Deere in pink. In progress...

Everyone is ready for Spring, right? I keep hounding the local nurseries to see if they have my favorite flowers in yet. I was out till dark last night and tonight I was out after dark with my headlight attached to my baseball hat taking advantage of the time when Cade is sleeping. I got the flowers below planted, I still have 8 wine barrels, 40 wave petunias, and 20 Astilbe's to go!!!Today, I got a little package in the mail from our Veterinarian. It's a little stone in memory of my special friend (Fattie, my kittie ...

Have any of you ever heard of Moda? Hee Hee Hee!!! Of course, who hasn't?

Well, we have designed a cute little pattern called Petits Fours that you can get for free over at the Moda Bake Shop.
So here is our cute little tablerunner that we designed using just 1 charm pack!! How fun is that? This is the picture that I took out in the frost in my flip flops, cold toes.

(I tried feeding my horses last night in flip flops too. Slipped and fell right in the messy, smelly mud. I mean FULL fall in ...

Don't worry, it's clean!!

I ran outside this morning to get a picture of a cute little table runner, and this is what I found...these pictures are of our chicken coop. Isn't ice pretty!! My toes were pretty numb and stiff by the time I came back inside. Maybe I'll learn to wear something besides flip flops, probably not!!

I did get a nice picture of our tablerunner on the icy picnic table. I'll have a picture of it in a few days, along with a free pattern for it and a chance to win a kit to make your ...

My husband always says if he had a sweatshop, I'd be his best employee!!

He doesn't understand that he would have a bunch of crazy women expecting lots of eating, laughing, talking and show and tell!!

This picture was definitely a rare moment of calm!!













We had 2 quilt options at the retreat.
Robin was the first one finished with Jelly Girl (we all had our money on Vicki!).













Nifty Nine Patch was the other option and you can see Cyndee got a good start with the first 2 rows of hers.













We also offered this really cute ...

Birth Day to First birthday

We've considered making that our new business name. That's usually where our pattern's are and it is where our website has been for quite awhile. Story of our life. I guess All Washed Up pretty much fits us, too. Guess we'll stick with it, or our name change would be under the Coming Soon category too!!

So while our website is under construction, I think I have this figured out well enough to post some pictures of our current patterns that have made it out of the "coming soon" category!!
