I thought this print by Amy Butler was so beautiful the first time that I saw it.  I have been torn for a while as to what I should make using this fabric.  Well I finally finished using most of the fabric and I am so excited of all the items that were made using this print.

New Product Added to Etsy Shop (Heirloom Baby Jewelry)

Many families pass down items to the next generation.  I can remember my dad giving me a quilt that my great-grandmother made by hand.



As you can see the quilt is too big for the picture and this is a very big quilt.  I can only imagine how many hours it took her to finish just one quilt and she did this all by hand, no sewing machine involve.  Her hand stitching was impeccable and she made several of these quilts and they are very thick and heavy.  So heavy that years ago I tried putting this quilt on my bed one winter while we were living in Germany and I had to take it off because I was literally about to burn up.
 I hope to be able to pass this very quilt down to my kids and keep the tradition going.  She was an awesome seamstress and I hope to be as good as her one day. 

Jewelry is the same way and I am so excited about this heirloom item that has been added to our Etsy shop.


This bracelet features sterling silver beads and Swarovski crystals that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Spring....Again

     Last week we had a cold spell but today it is back in the 80s and all of a sudden the other azalea bush bloomed.  One day there were leaves and the next day there were blooms.  I love this time of the year but got set back with my garden because of a snake (Yikes).  I am not use to snakes at all.  We rented a medium duty tiller from Home Depot on a Saturday for 24 hrs.   I was so excited and I started tilling away.  I was almost finish and out slithers a snake from under the ground.  I ran so many ways around the yard calling my husband’s name that my neighbor and his dog probably thought I was crazy.  Slowly but surely I am getting back into the yard but I am definitely keeping a watchful eye.  I still wanted to show everyone my beautiful azalea despite the snake encounter:


I will keep you posted on all the entire process of my 2011 planting!
