Party

Daughter #2 had her birthday yesterday.  She started it by getting up at 4:30 to watch the wedding.  She would not leave for school until she saw the kiss on the balcony.
The hats alone were worth the watch.  I love hats!

Today was her party.  She had a blast.  Being so close to Easter she wanted a Bunny party.  Here's the cake.

We topped the day off with a trip to the pet store for a brand new pair of friends.  Introducing Goldie and Sparkles.

Happy Quilting

Big Weekend Coming up!!

There are less than 12 hours to go......

No it's not the Royal wedding.  (But I will be up at 4:30 to start watching:)

Little Britches turns 7 tomorrow!  She's sooooo excited.  She loves watching the news now that they are kind enough to count down her birthday;)

So as I am watching Kate walk down the aisle I will be baking a monster bunny cake!  Big party planned for the weekend.

In other news.....
Quilt Sue had this humorous post earlier this month at Quilt Times on an early morning wake up call from birds.  I was some what envious of her birds......
Now I have my own.  A pair of Cardinals has moved into the shrubbery outside my living room window.  They make a wonderful racket at 5am.  Mama didn't pick the real estate very well.  It's only 4 feet away from my front door, and car.  Not to mention it's at the perfect level for Little Britches to pick up and hold!  YIKES!

Anyway, this morning I stood on my sofa to look into the nest and their was one small egg, I think it was blue.  Mama spent all morning in that nest.  2 hours later I looked in again and there were 2 little eggs in the nest.   Oh...I am so excited.

Now I just have to keep the little ones away from the bushes!

Scrap Happy Saturday

Today is Scrap Happy Saturday.  I actually have something to show!  You can check out others here.  I started making paper-pieced string triangles.  I was inspired by the pillow that Crazy Mom made.  You can check it out here.

Here are my pics.

These are 4 inch equilateral triangles, with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.  Most are sewn in rows, others are sewn like log cabins.  They are a lot of fun and very addictive.  I'm using leftover homework for the papers.  I got that idea from Crazy mom too!  I have 10 purple triangles.

Here they are in a row.  I haven't decided how to sew them together yet.  I am going back and making 10 of the colors previously used in the rainbow scrap challenge (red, blue, green).  I think I will alternate colors and have the same colors make a diagonal row!?  I have until January to figure that out!

Happy Easter
