Millie's Closet Sewing Marathon!......

Yes...I'm still sewing up a storm with

 Millie's Closet 

and let me tell you...

I am chomping at the bit 

just waiting until I can show you

 everything I've been making.

The waiting is killing me!...

It's really put my regular blogging 

schedule out of wack because I have

 nothing to show yet...

but be patient with me girls.

Lots of show and tell will be coming your way...I promise!

In the meantime ...

I can show you a few things that 

are blooming in my 

cottage garden 

right now.

My favorite cherry blossom trees

 in the front yard are so gorgeous!

Each blossom looks like a little rose:)

And we have tulips everywhere....it's rainy today and the colors of each tulip just pop!

The perennials are coming up too 

and soon my garden will be 

full of blossoms in all shapes, 

sizes and colors.

I can't wait...

I really have spring fever!

How about you?

An Afternoon at the Lake...

Hi there!

Did you all have a nice Easter weekend?

I sure hope so...we did:)

The weather has been so beautiful here

 and it happened to be spring break 

for Sterling and Kassidy 

so we decided to spend an afternoon 

at the lake and enjoy the sunshine! 

Of course whenever Mr.Honey is near water... 

it always involves a fishing pole...

 (or 5...haha)

Here's Sterling saying...

"Really mom, we just got here and already

 you have the camera out"

While Sterling gets right to the fishing...

Kassidy lays back and enjoys the sun...

 and blows a few bubbles.

After all...what's Easter weekend without bubbles?...I'm just sayin'. 

She does love to catch fish....

But of course she doesn't like to touch them!

Her dad has to take them off the pole for her:)

Of course...

I'm the person behind the camera...isn't that usually where all mom's are?

I'm kicked back and enjoying the sun 

and a little bit of time

 away from deadlines!

I took a ton of pictures and Sterling 

is at his end with them...

"just let me fish mom"

Family time together at the lake...

that's what it's all about!

A is for Applique...

Hello again cute people!

Today I've been doing a little appliqué....

I'm using several of the Riley Blake

solids 

that go with

 Millie's Closet...

And I'm pairing them up

 with lots of 

 5" squares from Millie's too.

I'm creating yet another new pattern 

that I'll be able to show you 

in a few weeks...
