Blankets and Bows

My blogging life has pretty much hit non-existence this week. I am keeping my head above water being a Mom and a full-time teacher...barely. It actually has been fun being back in the classroom. There just has been a lot of adjustment to the life we know and/or knew.
Last weekend I went on a little quilt retreat with some of my quilty friends. I took quite a few photos, but for some reason they were not on my camera. (yup, that's me and technology). I made this quilt top for the girls to snuggle under while watching movies. I named it "The Snack Bar". It just needs batting, backing and quilting. (click on it, if you would like to see more detail).
Okay, here is a very cute hairbow. It is made with a Sizzix(sp?)machine and of course, fabric. I want to make some more--anyone have a Sizzix machine? Let's have a hairbow party :)!! Karissa is tired of wearing just this one. She asked me why she has to wear it with every outfit. I told her it was because I LOVE it, and she looks so cute with it in her blonde little head of hair. She gave me the eye roll :)!!
I really hope to catch up with all my blog friends soon--I miss you all. Right now, I am trying to understand the 10-11 year old mind.(we even had maturation this week--yeah, enough said on that one) Oh me, oh my!! Have a super weekend. Be back soon--I hope.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Such a cute quilt! Sounds like you had a great time with your friends too :)
Love the hair bow. I still get the eye roll, and our three kids are adults ! That's ok though, I still tell them ..'because I'm the mom, that's why'!
Still works.
Enjoy this gorgeous weather and have a wonderful day.

I remember the eye roll days! They grow out of it, really. The quilt is great. Those hair bows are very popular in the boutique I have my things in too. They also make great lapel pins for older girls :) !!
Take care~

What a fun quilt and "snack bar" is such a fitting name for your creation. Your girls are very lucky to have such a special quilt made by you.

Thank you so much for your well wishes reagrding the birth of our baby girl. We really appreciate your kind words.
