Hanging out with the family

We went to the Cottage Garden in Wildwood. It was so fun checking out all of the goodies that they had.

Tea with the Girls!

We went to the Garden Gate Tea Room again for tea!! 

We were able to go on a day that Alyssa had off from School!!!

This place is soooo pretty! 

Noni Posing for the camera!

Aunt Jane...

My Pretty Sissy!! 

Abby did not want to smile for the picture... 

LOL

Our tea was soooo yummy! 

Abby went around and ate from everyone's plate! 

So Cute! 

Dessert! 

We had a wonderful time!!

Fun With ABBY & the Kids!

After the Villages Quilt Show I took Abby home with me for an impromptu sleepover! 

She is so much fun! 

So Much ENERGY!!!  

 I love it! She wanted to play piano and sing with Uncle Detto!

She loved every minute of it! 

Stephen is sooooo cute! Both Stephen and Alyssa are growing up so fast! 

While Abby was over... 

Nana called!Abby HAD TO TALK!! 

This girly LOVES to talk on the phone! 

She also LOVES to play with TOYS! I love that she know right where her toys are and that she is fairly self-entertaining! 

Notice Sissy in the background??Abby insisted on watching cartoons while playing! So... Sissy complied!

I am still going to school FULL TIME... It is getting old quick! I am starting to feel like there is not much point in me completing my degree. 

I am sure the cats constant disruption has NOTHING to do with my frustration...

Do you see this CRAZY Juliet??

She will squeeze into ANY spot! 

This is my VALENTINES Wall hanging that I am working on... What do you think?

In process - quilting! 

I don't quilt very many things on my home machine anymore. 

It is sooooo much easier to throw it on Lisa's "Merida" (her short arm machine) and whip it out. 

I still enjoy quilting on my machine... especially when it is something this small!

The Villages Quilt Show ~ Part 4

To say that Quilt Shows are addictive is to say that fish need water! 

I love going to these shows. 

They are so inspiring and encouraging! 

This Elephant quilt was such a work of art. I can not believe that it is 3-D! 

The ears moved! AMAZING! 

I love the Scrapy-ness and rich colors on this quilt! 

I love how each block was a blower, but...

 the thing that pulled the quilt together was that the settings and sashing were similar and. Other than that it is TOTALLY SCRAPPY!

Me and ABBY in front of the Villages Quilt! 

This QUILT WON THE BEST OF SHOW:

AMAZING! 

I love how this looks like stained glass!

So sweet!

One day I will make a Hawaiian applique quilt! 

Abby liked finding things in the quilts! 

She kept asking to touch them! LOL

Look at the CATS!Too Cute! 

This one was really neat!Such great colors and use of scraps and color value! 

I love how the bugs look like flowers!

So much fun!I love that I can share my passion for quilts with my BFF! 

Kitties! 

We let Abby touch this! 

 It was a divider between the quilts! She was THRILLED that she finally got to touch one!

Such a neat idea! Making fans out of stack-n-wack! 

Amy and Abby! I love these girls! 

Abby getting to touch another divider! Look at the joy! LOL

Snail trail with Dorothy! 

I LOVE THIS FLOWER QUILT! 

A true Window Quilt! 

Abby found a friend to talk to! They were both so cute! The little girl in the stroller didn't want to talk to Abby, but every time Abby left she cried or pouted! LOL

The final post on the Villages Quilt Show will be right around the corner!! 

Hugs,
