Halloween

This year, I only got to make two costumes. Very sad! Emma found hers at JoAnn's for 60% off and I frankly could not have made it for that.

Ian the Spider - I know, not the world's greatest photo, but you get to see his legs in action!

Kaitlyn's Quilt

My latest finished quilt, and my first foray into free motion quilting. By no means is it professional, but I LOVE the results! I made this quilt for one of my best friend's new baby girl. It based on a pattern by k.p. kids and co. Super fun to make, though totally out of my comfort zone. I actually had to build up the brights in my stash in order to make it...

I am participating in the online quilt festival hosted by Amy at Park City Girl. So much fun! Click on the link up there above my quilt and follow the post to drool at over 300 homemade quilts.

Border and binding.

My favorite bug. I had a blast picking the colors for this one.

Ar ar ar!

The day we went to Santa Cruz was foggy and chilly, but later beautiful. While we were there chatting and building sand castles, this guy - or gal, came to visit. He was less than eight feet from the beach and just kept talking to us. He never came out of the water, just played in the rolling surf and watched and barked. He eventually grew tired of us and swam away. It was pretty fun to get to see him!
