Valentines Quilt Coming Soon!!!

Yay!!! If you haven't seen the new Moda fabrics for Valentines by Sandra Gervais, you've gotta check them out....We took a little trip to Blue Ridge Georgia this afternoon to visit two quilt shops and while we were there I saw them for the first time...very cute! This one is called "Flirtations" and they also have another called "All you need is love". I bought 3 charm packs of the Flirtations (believe me it was hard to choose) and I'm going to start making a quilt for Genevieve tomorrow. Eeeek! I can't to see the final product. I love charm packs it makes quilting SO much fun. Most of the labor is all the cutting and this helps to take that out of the equation saving tons and tons of time!!!!!!!!!

Pictures coming soon...

"Not by the Noodle on my Chinny Chin Chin"

Stop it!.......Go away and let me eat in peace!!! So what if I like to smear it all over my face and rub into my hair? That's how I like to do it!!

WHAT NOW? What are you laughing at?

A Bushel and a Peck!

I love you a bushel and peck

A bushel and peck and a hug around the neck

A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap

A barrel and a heap and I'm talking in my sleep About you, about you

Cause I love you a bushel and a peck

You bet your pretty neck, I do

Doodle, oodle, oodle, doodle, oodle, oodle, doodle, oodle, oodle oo

I love you a bushel and peck

A bushel and peck though you make my heart a wreck

Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess

Make my life a mess, yes

A mess of happiness

About you, about you

Cause I love you a bushel and a peck

You bet your pretty neck, I do

Doodle, oodle, oodle, doodle, oodle, oodle, doodle, oodle, oodle oo

I love you a bushel and peck

A bushel and peck and it beats me all to heck

Beats me all to heck and I'll never tend the farm

Never tend the farm when I wanna keep my arm

About you, about you

Cause I love you a bushel and a peck

You bet your pretty neck, I do

Doodle, oodle, oodle, doodle, oodle, oodle, doodle, oodle, oodle oo

This is for Genevieve so that one day she might sing it to her children, Grand children and Great grand children as my Great Grandmother did!!

Love you "Mamma !

SNOW DAY!!

Well, we did finally get our snow day but it didn't show up until this weekend and just in time for my mom to visit. It snowed most of Saturday so we all got to go outside and enjoy it....At least until we adults got cold and were ready to go back inside !

Genevieve had a great time experiencing this new stuff, she ran around not quite sure what to do with it. I think she was running mostly from us, Mommy with the camera, Nonni with the snowballs and Daddy trying to fix her coat and put her mittens back on. Pulling her in this direction and that direction.....She finally had enough, we were far more irritating than the cold!

North Georgia Winter Weather Update!

We started with some tiny snow flurries around 4:30pm, so small they flew around furiously with the slightest breeze. On my home I noticed that it was starting to stick, accumulating on top of the mulch and pine straw that people use to line their flower beds. By the time we got home it was starting to actually stick more and more so we got Genevieve and took her outside to see it before it got too dark. She liked it, what there was of it that is. "Oh, and that's not a snow flake she's got between her fingers, God only knows what that was".

The snow turned into sleet a few hours ago for the majority of the Atlanta area, however we are far enough north that it's still snowing and looks like this as I speak. I don't know that it will turn into sleet for us "cross your fingers that it doesn't" because we want tomorrow to be a "SNOW DAY" not an "ICE DAY"!!!!!!! Stay tuned more pics to come.................

Now thats more like it

Oh yeah baby, we're almost there!!!

Let me see those Baby Blues...

Hammin it up!

Santa brought mommy a camera for Christmas (Nikon D40x) to be exact..."sooo awesome"! Anyways, Im not sure if its the look of this camera versus the way most compact digitals look, but I know one little girl who perks right up and poses as soon as she sees its flash go off. And boy Im telling you, she hams it up........Now if I could just figure out how to get you to keep your eyes open too!!

Hope all had a Merry Christmas!
