Another FWQAL block for the stack.

Polka dots + Kaffe=perfect combination for a

rainy day.

Happy Piecing,

Baby Gifts & garden update

Baby Eddie has arrived!

His parents appreciated the Eric Carle themed gift box

and we hope he loves his blankie as much as

 our munchkin does.

If you have ever worked with minky, 

you know that the end result is a perfect 

weight, super soft favorite of tactile toddlers. 

Getting to the finish isn't always a dream 

come true, but well worth the extra effort

{including lots and lots of pinning}.

The books included are two of my kids' favorites

so I couldn't help but add them to his budding 

library.

{Remember the board book days? AW.}

Last night we had a freeze warning and 

temps dipped down into the low 20s.

Now, that's normal for this time of year, 

but the plants seem to think it's late May/early June.

To keep the strawberries going, 

Mr. Fabulous was kind enough to cover 

the strawberry patch and some of the landscape with sheets.

So far, it looks like just a few hostas were slightly damaged.

I'm getting temp and weather warning updates 

regularly from my middle guy...

he has an app for that,

(actually two). 

Seriously.

Have a Wonderful Weekend,

Heather
