zippidee doo dah!

Zippidee zoo! I bought this adorable fabric for an upcoming baby quilt- bright colors, gender neutral, matches the nursery, and cute to boot!



I haven't yet picked a pattern, but it will probably be something very Denyse Schmidt-like, maybe like the one in Last Minute Patchwork Gifts, like this.

come out, come out, wherever you are!

I bought some bulbs for 50% off last fall when I was refinishing my floors. I stashed them in the basement and promptly forgot all about them, until I discovered them a few weeks ago. They daffodils and alliums were sprouting in the bags! I picked up some potting soil, mixed it with some peat moss, and filled these pots to the brim. I probably should have planted the bulbs a bit deeper, but I did what I could. Spring has sprung!



(yes, that's part of a blender in the background. ha!)

I've been working on an idea for my first quilt, a baby blanket. I started looking online this weekend for fabric, and fell in love with this Alexander Henry fabric:




However, it seems to be sold out everywhere and eBay wants $8 for a fat quarter. That is crazy! so instead I've set my sights a bit lower and settled on some different jungle fabric. I hope it comes in the mail soon; I want to get started!
