National Flip Flop Day

They are the only shoes a Beach-Girl needs--

The Quilt is Finished!!!

After procrastinating for a few weeks, worried that it would be "too hard", I finally just did it!

I laid out and taped the backing to the floor--

I spread out the batting--

I laid out the quilt top over the backing and batting-

And I pinned it all together--

I machine quilted it-

And here IT is finished---

The front--

And the back--

Although it's not perfect--it is my "1st Quilt Ever"--I'm happy with it.

I LOVE the colors

and most importantly

I learned alot!

I've already started on another quilt!!!

For the Birds---

Looks like there's a new "kid" on the block--

I heard "him" chirping this morning while I was enjoying my coffee on the patio.

As I took a closer look I saw--

A brother or sister-

They look so cute.

Noticed some more movement and then there were--

Three!!

Momma was getting worried--

So I left her alone to tend to her babies-
And I went back to my coffee.

The mail came!

I love getting packages in the mail.

This is from my blogging friend, Lisa, at

 My Life of Domestic Bliss.

She was having a giveaway and I won.

Love the colors!

What is it?
It's a beautiful scarf---

That she knitted herself.
The pictures do not do it justice.
I wish you could see how beautiful it is---and oh-so-soft!

Thank-you Lisa

I LOVE IT!!!

Stop by and visit her.
And while you're there take a tour of her Folly--
Don't know what a folly is-
Then you need to visit and find out.
