We are home!

We are finally back home in our own house. We had such a fun get away! It was so nice to get out of our cold weather. Our 2 week trip turned into 3 weeks. Christian thought I wasn't coming home. :) I really wished we still lived around our family and friends. It's so hard to be away, but I'm trying to make the best of it. I have lots of pictures I'm still getting together from our trip. Stay tuned.

Jellybean loves to play in jewelry. Monday night when we were getting ready for bed, daddy let her put on every necklace I had in my bag on the dresser. She loved it! She use to pull at my earrings and necklaces constantly but now she just wants to wear everything. She puts them on and then takes them right back off. She is always all tangled up in jewels. Cheap entertainment!

On Tuesday it was in the high 60's! Finally! I love the warmth of sunshine. I opened up our deck door to let Jellybean see the birds and she was going crazy. She crawled in and out of the house for over an hour. I had no idea it was suppose to be warm so I decided to take advantage of it and head over to the park. Jellybean loves to swing. She recently has been nervous in swings and didn't want you to swing her very high, but she got over it. She loved being pushed high! There were tons of kids and dogs for her to watch. It was heaven! We both needed the fresh air and sunshine.

While I was home I did a little fabric shopping. Ok a lot! I hate that the quilt shops here order nothing but batiks! So I always take advantage of any chance to go to my fav shops whenever I am visiting. I have been in serious need of boy looking material. It is usually so hard to find. I lucked out this trip. That first stack of fabric is mostly all for gifts. Everyone is having boys right now so I bought almost all of that with someone in mind. The second stack is for a quilt for myself. Christian loves to be on the couch wrapped up in a blanket, and I have never made us one. So the stack of Amy Butler fabric is for me! I can't wait! What a small little stack of pink. I love pink and usually buy way too much of it. I bought those charm packs on ebay and they were delivered while I was away. I got them for a steal. I didn't pay more than $4 for any of them including shipping. That's more than 50% off! I am addicted to ebay! I plan on making stacked coin baby quilts with them. Here is one that I love!


My prize from Heidi came over the weekend. Coasters! I actually don't have any so I am pretty excited. What a fun gift! They are made out of tiles with cute matching paper. I am going to put that on my project list to make. Thanks so much Heidi I love them!
