Niece Count is Up to Two!

This May my step-sister had her first baby, a little girl, E. She is so sweet! Such a good baby, with lots of hair!!

We had a baby shower for them and I decided to make them a rag quilt. I saw one on KevinandAmanda.com and she said it was super easy so I thought I could do that! And it really was so easy! I think my step-sister really appreciated the gift, and it turned out big enough that E will be able to use it on a twin sized bed!

I just loved this quilt so much, I wanted to keep it for myself when I have kids! I love how girl, bright and soft it is :)

This one is a little dark, but you can see the fray detail (after only one wash!).

The back of the quilt looks nice and finished, which is nice to have the option of mixing it up! However you want to display the lovely quilt!

For this particular blanket I used 9" squares of flannel. For the inner lining I always grab a neutral (I actually used white in this quilt) flannel and cut the same 9" size of squares. Make sandwiches with the colours (obviously printed side out) and sew it all together! SO EASY :) I have two friends and one sister-in-law who are pregnant right now so I'd better get started on some more quilts for gifts :)

Just a Couple of Pictures of Brady

Cause He's so stinkin' cute! :)

Feeling rather cheeky

I Just love this picture of him!But this cannot possibly be comfortable for sleeping!

Random Updates, Again.

Wow. Has it really been since May 24th since I last posted? Guess so. Anyways, lots has happened since that time:

I have finished my third year of nursing (AKA the worst year of my life) and I'm happy to report that I passed all my classes! I'm taking two summer courses, one online and one in class. The end of school is getting closer, I can actually see the light now and I'm getting really excited about that.

I moved! Yes, I moved away from home (1hr and 15min away to be exact) and into the small town that my Fella lives in. I am loving this change for many reasons, getting to be around him much more without having to pack bags and travel, Brady gets walked about 4 times a day here since the yard isn't fenced in so he's happy, and I love the small town community here and getting to know people better because I can see them more. Mostly, I'm quite happy to have the opportunity to get to know the Fella's mom better. I've spent a lot of time together with her and have enjoyed it so much. I was so nervous around her still after almost two years, but now I feel so much more relaxed and I'm so happy about that, as is the Fella.

I haven't gotten a job here yet, I've been putting out resumes all over town, and the one next to it and the one next to that(to total 20 min apart HA!). I finally got a call-back and have an interview tomorrow morning!! Wish me luck, I'm super nervous.

Today, as the Fella was cutting the grass I noticed that it looked like it was snowing outside. We don't know exactly what this is, but there is tons of fluff out there! I thought it looked funny that he was cutting grass while it appeared to be snowing so I tried to take some pics of it, but failed. Here are my sad attempts, you need to look closely to see what I'm talking about. Seriously, when I have the money photography class here I come!

Also, I'm going to try a running clinic in the fall! I'm nervous and excited about this as well. My friend is going to join with me, which makes me feel better about it. I know I'm going to be the worst one there and probably won't even be able to run for 10sec, but I'll still try it and hope that I learn to love running. I'm hoping that I can tone myself up and perhaps lose about 15 pounds. We shall see how that goes!
