for me?

I turned 31 on the 14th and what a fantastic birthday i had! 

I am not much for celebrating myself and usually it feels like any other day. 

Not this year...my goodness i felt like a queen! My husband bought me a beautiful vase of flowers that brightened up the room & my heart! He also had a cake made for me...with cute number 31 bday candles! He got my fave white cake with whipped icing! 

He is the best!

It didnt stop there..i know right! :)

He took me to one of my favorite guilty pleasure restaurants, 9 Irish Brothers for some fish n' chips & a tiny glass of beer!

Here are a few pictures of all my lovlies!



 I also have some pretty amazing friends!

My friend Karen and her husband treated us to dinner for my birthday at a yummy Mexican restaurant! They also gifted me some quilting goodies, a charm, some labels and a box of yummy Moda candy bars...! Did i mention how great they are?!

Thanks Karen..love ya!

Then....I know it never stopped! LOL

My MIL's & GMIL treated us to dinner out and to some bday $$ which i purchased this beautiful dutch oven with!!

I love it sooooo much already!  Its a beautiful red...Yay for turning 31!

Ok sorry for showing off all my bday goodies, but it was such a wonderful week full of people i love and great times! I am so blessed! I would have been just as happy with a bday kiss and some quilting! ;)

Thanks for letting me share!

You all rock!

Hiya!

I have so many things going on in my life right now (mostly good stuff) that i sometimes don't stop to blog!

I told myself & you that i was going to be better so here i am

being better. ;)

We are starting to see & feel the signs of spring here in IN woo-hoo! We are over the moon excited for all of the outdoor fun to begin! It actually started today with me & the mister cleaning up the yard & flower beds! Long ways to go... 

Lots of flower beds=lots of work!

Sooo worth it when everything wakes & shows its beauty!

Here is a picture of my 2 loves!! Daisy knows that Justins leg is hurting him & well she decided to jump up and lay on it! LoL (she isnt a furniture dog, she has her own beds) She was just trying to make it better!

Here she is laying on my Amy Butler gum drop..covering her eyes...telling me that she is all done with the pictures for now! ;)

Too sweet!

and a random photo of me...just because!!

Some orange super soft yarn for a scarf. I am making this one for a special friend

....shhh!

Here is my thrift find of the month!! This is hands down the coolest thing i think i have ever bought for $3!! It spins & serves! The wood underneath says its from Denmark.

I will use this for sooo many things.
With warm weather coming soon..think toppings: for hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, sauces, sides! I could go on forever! I am so in love with these colors too!
I hope you everyone has a great weekend.

 I think i am pretty much hooked on making these!! I already started a pink one...i think it will be just darling this spring! :)

As far as the quilting front goes, i have finally added the borders to this fig tree quilt that i made months ago!! I am really excited to quilt it...just in time for spring!

 Also if you have been wanting a quilt quilted with a basic meandor or swirly/loopy design i am doing them at a SUPER-DUPER low price!! Just send me an email!!
