We finished two things this week. I finished my very first quilt and Joel finished with Movember. He was sooooo glad to be done with it. I got used to it. Mind you it wasn't big and bushy like some so it was easier to deal with. And of course I documented the before and after for you all.
Before: Orlando Bloom (well that's who my brother-in-law thought he looked like)
After: Babyfaced
Now for the highlight of my week. My very first quilt. I took a few pictures like a proud parent of this baby I have been working on for a while. I show it to everyone I know because I must say I think I did a pretty darn good job since when I started I didn't even know how to thread the machine. Okay here is a barrage of pictures....
Are you as in love with it as I am? I hope so! I got an e-mail from Lesley this week and we are starting a sewing group when I get home. Can't wait! Also I moved on to my next quilt for my unborn nephew. He is due next month and this will not be done by then nor will her get it soon because he lives in Italy. I will show you a sneak peak but from this point on I will have to keep it under wraps because my sister reads this. Hi Elle!
Not a lot going on here. Joel is hard at working studying and giving me evil glares every time I try to talk to him. So I have been trying to stay out of his way. But it's hard in this little place. I am getting super excited for Aruba. Next Week! I will have to get started on packing soon I guess.
I am just going to show you a few more funny things and one yummy.
I was making a few breakfast casseroles last weekend and when I was cracking the eggs it made this cute smiley face. Joel thought I was nuts when I made him come see it.
Then I cracked more for the next one and it turned into a side smirk smiley face.
Not as good but still fun.
I drove to sewing last week and saw these goats which are cute enough.
But the picture is way funnier when you realize they are on Sally's roof.
Seriously goats are everywhere.
And finally the yummy. For the breakfast casserole I had to cut the crusts off 6 loaves of bread so in Christmas tradition in our house we made croutons with those. I have eaten so many of these and given away even more but there is still a lot left. If only you could smell through the computer then you would know how yummy this picture really is.

I LOVE the quilt Anne! And also the blue fabric for baby boy! Yay!
The quilt is amazing Anne!! With Kristy and Tal's babies coming in 2011, I have to learn how to thread a machine and get cracking on the quilt stuff! I'm so excited! Have to see what stuff I get for Christmas (I had a few sewing books and sewing supplies on my lists) and then I'll have to go out and buy some stuff and get started! I'm kinda nervous...you have to come back so you can teach me! -Lesley
Lesley you need to get Skype and then I can walk you through it... We can be online quilting buddies!
