our spring break break...
Ahhh, Spring Break. We spent the past weekend up in Penticton, visiting some of our oldest and bestest friends. It was a whirlwind trip but sometimes those are the best ones. The kids picked up right where they left off the last time we visited... and as a matter of fact, that's what the adults did too. Like I said, these are some of our oldest and bestest friends. We managed to pack a hockey game, some window shopping, two games of bowling, a breakfast picnic and photo shoot on the beach, lots of games, a movie or two, and a fall down the stairs (yes, it was me) into the weekend. The weather did everything from snow to sunshine so it was as busy as we were. Here are a few of my favorite shots that the kids took at Skaha Lake...

my Tuesday timeout...
Bloggers Choice Blocks.
With Ruby.
And coffee.
And maybe a little chocolate.
Win-win-win.
(Except on our Roll Up the Rim cups.)
Oh well, you can't win 'em all.
But I have won 7 free coffees this time around. Just sayin'.

wrapped in God's arms...
One month and three days ago, I shared a prayer request. Click here to read that post.
This morning at 4am, this lovely lady was welcomed into God's arms.
And that's better than the warmth of a quilt could ever be.

ruffles and stripes and a zipper... oh my!
Remember my recent Hometown redo? At the botton of that post, I showed a new project I'd made from an older one. Well today, I took the remaining ruffle ends that were left over and gave one of them new life.
This is what I started with... four strippy ruffle pieces...
And this is what I ended with... a sweet ruffle pouch made with this great pattern by Sarah of The Split Stitch.

I love it when a plan comes together!

my Tuesday timeout...
It was a short timeout today. Short but sweet. Short in that I had a dentist appointment in the morning and got a late start with my sewing. (I'm now accepting both prayers and donations.) Sweet in that it was spent with a wonderful friend. And for that, I am thankful. Now on to the pictures...
"Granny Goes to Market" is coming along nicely. Isn't she lovely? She's ready for sashing and then I'll have fun with the outer borders. I found a ton of fruit and veggie prints along the same lines as the ones I used in the blocks. The biggest challenge will be deciding which ones to use. I'm planning on four different prints to really bring out the farmers market vibe. Fun? I think so! Think plain sashing and narrow inner border, then a bit wider for the outer prints...
My favorite block... the little 'shrooms of course! Aren't they adorable?
Oh, and I was serious about the prayers. In a week or so, I'm gonna need them.
