I was feeling inspired to sew the other day. It was nice, I haven't been in the mood to sit at my machine lately. It has been all about knitting, in case you haven't noticed!
I pulled out an adorable layer cake of Farm Fresh by Riley Blake that I bought a few months ago, and I used a pattern called Crackle which is one of Aneela's latests. When I saw it in her blog a couple weeks ago, I knew I had to make it.
Now, a couple afternoons later, I have this cute baby quilt top! It is a great pattern. It uses a layer cake plus border fabric, and it cuts and sews up so quickly. Just what I needed this week. I don't have any plans to finish it up soon, it'll wait until after the New Year.
On the homefront, we have had a pretty good couple of weeks. I *think* I'm done Christmas shopping, cookies have been made, but I have yet to wrap gifts. We finally got some real snow a few days ago, probably 4-6", and it was so pretty. But it is gone now, and I think we are going to be having a green (rainy) Christmas this year.
The boys were all excited of course, and they clocked a few hours of playtime in the snow. Finley loves to stand on the baseboard heating vents to watch them outside, it is the sweetest thing.
And last is a cute morning picture. Lucky girl, she gets her big brother's hand-me-down sleepers. :)
Hope you are having a nice week! Only 4 days until Christmas!

We have two boys and a girl, and our girl is always running around in truck sleepers, orange striped shirts, green sweaters with frogs on them . . .anything that is neutral enough to get away with from my boys' clothes stash. Super cute.
