Ally the fashion designer

Well atleast I know she's a trend setter and not the follower :) Ally has decided that these ballet skirts are to cute to only wear to dance class.
She brings them to school and let's her friends wear them too as long as they return them. Apparently she likes them to well to let them out of her site :)
Aww, my little fashion designer is growing up :)

By the way the awful picture quality from this and the last post is because they are phone pics... My nice new camera I got for christmas is already on the fritz so it's been sent off because walmart now has a 31 day return policy for cameras and electronics. Understandable but frustrating :) So this is what ya get for a while, sorry :)

My favorite Soiree

Okay, so I'm dying!  The MO Star Quilt Co. has their new daily deal up and it's one of my favorite fabrics... Lila Tueller's Soiree, *sigh*

It's so fun!  I want to make quilts for atleast a couple of my girls out of it and here's my chance!  The deal is seriously a steal!  The cake layer, 10" squares (around $35), The honey bun, 1 1/2" strips (around $23), Jelly roll, 2 1/2" strips (around $35), and an adorable charm pack, 5" squares (around $8) all for 69.95 ..... Oh how I wish I wasn't unemployed. :(  If you've ever quilted you know $70 bucks is cheap for even 1 quilt top and should make that and then some. ( Though you probably will still want some border fabric, not required but probably :) ) If there is anyone else who wants to make adorable quilts, curtains, or other such fun projects I would be very excited to come help you.  Seriously!  Just ask and I'll be there just to enjoy the fun of working with such happy fabric.  Call me!  I'll be waiting. :)

On what I've actually been doing with my time these days, take a look :)

I am being blessed to enjoy a tiny bit of Soiree's goodness for a brief moment in time making a quilt for display in the MSQC shop.

It's been a ton of fun laying it out and cutting the appliques (iron on is a wonderful thing :) ) but I think my girl's favorite part has been all the fun fringe hanging from my table while I work on the details :)

Hehe! I love it too :)

Otherwise, life is good and I'm avoiding the thought of how little money I can spend by filling my time cooking everything from scratch.  
Whoopie :) Seriously.
 I keep reminding myself that it saves us money for me to make tortillas, although my bread making has gone downhill since I've been trying to use wheat & Aldi bread doesn't seem so expensive after a few flat yeasty tasting loaves :)  So, instead I'm having my fun using other peoples fabric and dreaming about cute color schemes and fun new bedroom decor! 

Missouri Star Quilt Co.

Woohoo!!! Look at this ladies! OK seriously even if you don't quilt you've got to just go look at these gorgeous fabrics!

This is my family's quilt shop online store front :) it's fantastic isn't it! I'm so proud of them! They're doing a daily deal that is quilting at fabulous prices!!! I wish I wasn't unemployed right now. :( They also have a blog that talks about quilting and trendy fabrics and fabulous colors and projects as well as the crazy goings on of the shop!

I'm excited and I think you should be to so go take a look. It'll make you want to pay attention at the next Relief Society sewing mini class so you'll know what to do with your newly growing fabulous fabric stash!

Four sister's...

So we all knew it was only a matter of time....

Really, this started off a lot happier... 

Oh, and before you start in on the girls just know it was Daddy's idea!!!

The ice storm

Okay, I know all you Arkansasians (I guess, what do we call ourselves? besides crazy I mean?) know how crazy the ice storm was but here's for my other family & friends a few of my favorite pics from our first time being iced in.

Sorry

As with so many others sorry I haven't posted in awhile. There's been some serious craziness happening here. Oh well, I've got several potential post pics that I'll be working on. I'll call them my ppp's . Speaking of, I do believe Phoebe's officially potty trained. Hurray for me thanks and now for the rest of my ppp's.
