A Little Bit of Everything

Hey y'all!

It's been another crazy week.

The rain just won't stop

and the warm weather teases us here 

in Iowa

and the very politely bows out

to allow the cold to creep back in.

Isn't it amazing how lady-like

the warmth is?

How nice of her to let the cold 

encompass us 

and allow for all this confusion of

"Do I put my winter close away or not?"

hhhmmmppppffffttthhhh

That's what I say.

Our days have pretty much looked like this

(in between rain showers)

So what does a gal do to get herself all cheery?
When there isn't time to sew
I stare at my stash.
Like these little beauties of
Little Red Riding Hood by Tasha Noel

I think she is so adorable
and will be cute fussy cut in a pouch...

...while picking mushrooms

Speaking of mushrooms,
I don't think those luscious morels are
going to find their way out this year
if it doesn't warm up soon!

And how about this sweet little treat of
Honey Honey by Kate Spain?
(thanks to my bestest sister, Sarah!)

And this fabric is just plain fun

I do have a project started using these fabrics.
The lilac colored fabrics are
Joel Dewberry's Blooms and Lattice

And in case you didn't see my photo on Flickr,
we have 4 new additions to our home.
A couple months ago
a very sweet, pregnant stray cat showed up on our doorstep
(she must have known she found a good home)
I didn't have the heart to take her in to be spayed,
so she had her kittens here
(and now I will be taking 5 cats in to be spayed/neutered when they are old enough)

But look at these adorable babies

The other two were being shy,
so I will have to show you them later.
I'm so glad this mama found us.
She has been a dream
and believe it or not,
our dogs love her!
It's like she was meant to be with us.

I hope this finds you all with lots of
exciting things taking place in your life!
