Finished!

I finished my quilting project! It by no means is perfect but I am pretty proud of it. My ma helped me out when I bought not quite enough fabric for the backing (thanks mom :) 

I gave it to my friend at her baby shower, along with a few bibs I made.  Someone mentioned I should make them and sell but I am not sure I have enough patience to make them again and again!

 

 

Crafty Quilting!

I saw this quilt on Pinterest...of course the Link went to

nowhere.  I don't know about you but that is one of my pet peeves on Pinterest!

My friend and I made baby blankets for her niece's, so I thought it would be nice to 

make her one for her baby due in June!

I had some help planning from my crafty mom :)  and I did some scribbling...

After trial and error and possibly a little bit of mumbling under my breath 

I was able to get the sizes and pattern down!  I will update as soon as I finish!

2014!

How on earth can it already be January 8, 2014!!! 

Its not possible! 

I can not believe that this fall Olivia will start Kindergarten!?!

AHH, that is crazy!

I am making this a no resolution because really I never follow through 

with any resolutions I make.  Most of which have been to lose weight,  but 

I need to find a different approach on that subject!

I do however want to take more pictures!  I have been awful at picture taking 

the last few months!!

This was the last shot I took of the girls together in 2013!

 

Random Fun..

I learned recently if you take your 50mm lens off of your camera and turn it around and hold it in place it acts as a macro lens. 

It is a little tricky to hold in place but its fun to play with.  I want to play around with it more.!

Currently...

I am currently sitting in a big fluffy brown chair staring out my bedroom winter out into the white abyss of snow that fell yesterday. I actually can't see much...staring into the bright white outdoors is blinding me! 

The girls are playing ever so nicely together in their bedroom...hopefully, but I don't hear screaming or the constant "SHARE!" that I usually do. So I will wait a little while before poking my head in there. Because you know if I do all bets are off...and they will get distracted with that they are playing with to come and see what I am doing ;-) 

My girls are getting too big. I orginally started this blog "Kiss the Olive Goodnight" when Olivia was just a few months old. She will be 5 in a week, how is that possible!!
