a dozen burp cloths for baby



i finished up a dozen burp cloths for my granbaby

i used my leftover bits of  flannel

i used flannel on both sides for a few and then i decided to try a few w terry towel on the back

terry towel is my favorite..i think they will be more absorbent... i just i bought a 6 pack of bar mop cloths at ross for 2.99 ... inexpensive and i  love the  finish with the soft colors xo


i have been using this pattern for a few years now...so fun to make a dozen for my first granbaby xo

soon to be a gramma sewing xo

i finished up this simple baby quilt in march at my quilt retreat...it was originally started as a graduation quilt but put aside cuz it was too baby....

i machine quilted it yesterday with bellybop

and i used my special where the wild things are flannel for the back...i bought 10 yards on a sale table a few years ago... it was actually nick who spotted it ~  i remember it well cuz that is the one and ONLY  time my husband has ever "found" fabric 

i love how simple it is and i love that simple is definitely a favorite



i made a matching cover for the cradle mattress with double batting

the cradle is a gift from my friend kay ...her father made it for her children forty years ago...

sam and lani  took the cradle home last night ... soon there will be a sweet baby boy rocking in this beautiful cradle xo

washington park


camped at washington park in annacortes on the weekend xo

the spring  wild flowers are here
we walked up to the south bluff preservation ~ my favorite view EVER and we saw seven eagles soaring above the channel

i love that when a tree falls in a park forest it just gets moved aside and continues with nature xo
gifts from the sea ~ glass is always my special find while beach combing

my friend sharon [thank you xo] recommended the majestic inn in annacortes for their 5th floor rooftop restaurant with a view of the san juans ~ it was a chilly beer but they had blankets xo

and there are always a few of these babies around

and the sunsets were great xo
