I took this photo yesterday out the north studio window…..it was a snow day for all area schools. The 5″ snowfall was wet, heavy and coated with a layer of ice. Very pretty but I am so over winter!!

I took this picture today out of the same studio window….the sun is shining bright today! Now the temperature just needs to increase to melt the heavy snow off the poor droopy tree limbs before they give way!!!! Where o’ where is my beloved spring weather?? God grant me patience, but please hurry! 😉

Whoooa….that’s bright!! and cheerful!! Imagine the things you could sew with this playful whimsical fabric! I think when Mom and I start quilting next week, I will make a few pillow cases with this fabric for the boys……ok and for Kevin and I 😉

My fabric is sold through Marcus Fabrics so check your local quilt shop for this “Tricks and Treats” line! Now get sewing!

Be Merry Bears is now available at your local quilt shop! Don’t see it at your favorite quilt shop? Ask them about it! 🙂 You can’t miss out on these sweet little bears frolicking in the Christmas season. The coordinates are a perfect blend of light, medium and dark for easy quilt-making.

I will post the Halloween fabric line this week as well 🙂 Happy sewing!!

I LOVE photo editing!!! I could spend hours and hours playing around with all the effects and frames! This photo is rather old…..from the summer of 2006 but I love my dogs and have very few photos of me with them. Actually, I am the photographer of the family so there aren’t many pictures of me with anyone! LOL! My favorite sites for photo editing are picnik and befunky. Check them out and have some fun…..and if you are like me, you, too, will be addicted!

I took this photo today……beautiful vibrant greens poking through the mud and dead leaves….it makes my heart sing!! I know all my family and friends in the south already have blooms but here in Michigan we are just starting to see the signs of spring!!! It was 60˚ yesterday! This time of year energizes me and my head swims with dreams of bonfires, smores, cookouts & camping.

Just a heads up…..I post more on my facebook page than on my blog so for up-to-the-minute information, please join my fb page 🙂

So springy!! I love how the black background makes the flowers “pop”. These beautiful new products are now available from Magnet Works.
