Being their mom

 Avery striking a pose. Not sure what it is about "mom jean shorts" but they seem to be "in"  I remember being a teen and have a hard time believing both my girls are teens. It was a lot easier to be their mom when they were pre schoolers. I got to dress them then too.
Riley has stopped gymnastics and is now on the to the next thing - violin. She is self taught and is enjoying playing. I love my girls- our girls and I thank God for my job as mom to them.

4.0 all A's Baby

 Last week, we got to honor our youngest with a assembly. She has been a straight A's student all year. So above is Riley walking up to get her certificate and bumper sticker for mom's car. I remember when Avery first did this in 6th grade. I said to her "I don't want anything from you but a bumper sticker" It takes a lot of work to get one and we are so proud of both our girls. Below is Riley with one of her buddies.

 

A new quilt

 This one for a little boy I think. I have been looking at the fabric laying around my sewing room and "On a Whim" owls was calling to me. I have it in this green and also in brown. I backed it with some mushroom soft flannel that I got. It will be yummy for some little soft bundle to cuddle with.

Sewing and Ironing

 The only time I iron is when I quilt so I thought why not add that to Janine's quilt. This was my April addition and will send it on its way to its next stop.
There is even a little mini quilt to iron.

She's doing it again

 Ummmm....... Mom...... Somethings not right.
 No worries..... I figured it out..... kind of comfy.
 The whole thing makes Jack mad.
Cooking more veggies- YUM

MEOW

 The word MEOW is my addition to this quilt. It is on it's way to Pennsylvania now.
 I really wanted to keep this one and give it to my MIL who LOVES all things cat. Don't worry Brittney I managed to put it in the mail.....with hands shaking
This is the next little lovely I have to add to. I'm thinking NOTIONS. We will see.
