a happy moment

My sick little girl had a happy moment making bubbles in the tub. Her fever was too high to let her go outside. I decided to capture a memory of it.

**** Her fever is gone now and she's feeling 100% better!! ****

Am I a bad influence?

My mom, sister and niece were in town this last weekend...hence little sewing or blogging.

They live 9 hours away so when they are here I make the most of it.

On top of that my littlest girl had a terrible fever for 4 days. We went to the doctor twice but all they could say is 'virus'. There is no more fever but she is terribly irritable..I think she needs to eat but hasn't gotten her appetite back yet.

So when I wasn't mothering the ill child....my niece asked me to show her how to make those "puff" things...yo-yo's! Yikes...you know I ♥ my yo-yo makers..and to teach someone else? well that was awesome. She took a charm pack of Neptune [her favorite ;) ] and a clover maker to make some at home. Someday maybe one of my girls will want to learn to hand sew...we'll see.

I've been...

Pat Sloan's yahoo swap group from a couple of years ago! Finally quilted.

ANd this is the LAST of the 8 quilts I made using the 'Baby Fats' book. The blue corners are supposed to be butterflies....so I am going to add the bodies now...I added the bodies to the girlie version of this before it was quilted and it didn't care for it so here's my chance to do it differently.
now I get to bind them!! Ugh..
