Happy ME day...

Today I'm teaching this new block at Material Girls. Just in case you can't tell...it goes into my Paper Doll quilt....lol

This is Kassidy's apron...although it looks sort of like it could be a dress instead. I think she looks cute wearing it when she bakes with Grandma!

Grandma teaches Kass how to mix up the cookie dough in the trusty and reliable Mix Master...(did any of you learn how to bake using one of these like I did?)

Kassidy always cares about fashion....even in the kitchen. She has an oven mitt to match her apron.

Grandma says..."scrape the sides of the bowl often.....

....and measure carefully."

Here are the cookies...no...they are not burnt. They are chocolate chocolate chip cookies! LOL

Kassidy had a fun afternoon with Grandma.

Yes...it will be a good day to teach at Material Girls because that is one of my very favorite places to be and today is happy ME day...yes...it's my birthday. And today I choose ME.

After teaching, I will drop off my Family Reunion quilt to my friend Helen for quilting (yay! it's done) ....and then spend the evening with my family ...and packing for the 3 day American Quilting retreat that will start early tomorrow morning.
I can't wait....for the rest of the week it's all about me (I'm already feeling a bit selfish)...but I'll get over it!

I've had so many deadlines lately that I'm looking forward to a little rest and relaxation....
Of course there will plenty of pictures to share with you when I get home.

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Valentines Day!

Making Valentines...

We have been making valentines the last few days...all of the supplies are out all over the kitchen table during this week so that we can make them for family and friends whenever we get the time here and there.

This is the first year that Sterling doesn't have a class list...but Kassidy brought hers home.

First we made a valentine box for her desk at school...we bought a heart shaped box at Heartland Paper and covered it with cute scrapbooking paper and lots of glitter.

We bought the cherry red heart suckers at Target. Kassidy used punches and some ribbon to make flower suckers for her classmates.

Pink and red for the girls....

Teal, yellow and red for the boys.

They're all ready to go to her valentine exchange party....
