stash basics and thrifty sewing
**Make sure you enter my giveaway, closes tomorrow**
I got some lovely fabrics this week from the Fat Quarter Shop. Most are to be added to my Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt. I wanted some basics to counter the bright 30s repro fabrics but didn't want boring neutrals so I picked some pretty patterned prints. I also got some 108" wide backing and a useful charm pack of Kona solids.
left to right: Bella Solids 108" wide in grey; Screen Texture in Cream Sketch by Timeless Treasures Fabric; Brown Houndstooth, RoundUp by Samantha Walker; Green Gingham, Calliope by Stitch Studios (less yellow irl); Yellow Gingham, Summer Fun by Maywood Studios Fabric (again less orange, more yellow!); Vanity Stripe in Mint, Vanity Fair by Dear Stella; Stella Dot in Charcoal on Clay, Portico by Dear Stella; Lime Crosshatch, Textures by Angela Walters; Bright Kona solids charm pack
I wasn't in love with Textures when it came out but that print is gorgeous and the Dear Stella prints are fabulous stash builders.
I've done a little sewing this weekend and it's always satisfying to be able to fix something that needs repairing.
So this was the state of the edge of our bath mat. Annoying because there's nothing actually wrong with the mat itself and I like the blue colour (hard to pick up in these pictures but the last one is truest). All it needed was some binding.
I wouldn't have paired it with this crazy binding but I asked my kids to choose from my left over bindings (I save all the extra bits when I make binding so I have ready prepared binding on hand even if it's scrappy!). Obviously they chose the brightest but I love orange and pink so it's all good.

| one day I will be this slim again |
proceed with caution!
This post is full of adorable baby cuteness, love and mushiness!!
I never intended to put so many baby pictures up but I had to share these ones because I finally captured Lois's gorgeous smile. Lois is a cutie and melts my heart, since today is all about love I hope these make you smile too...

Not only is it Valentine's day but my husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary on Saturday too. We have been married for six years, this anniversary is sugar according to UK tradition so I will be baking this weekend! I really wouldn't be who I am right now without him and his amazing support. I am utterly in love and still can't help smiling and feeling all gooey when I even think about him, and when he kisses me forget it!! I love you so much Mark, thank you for being so incredible. I appreciate everything you do for me and our family.
On Monday (he was a bit eager!) I got these:
A spectacular bunch of flowers in my favourite colour!
He ordered them from our friend who runs a local florist. If you are in the UK you must visit her website The Flower Lounge and see the beautiful bouquets. She even has reminders you can set up to send flowers on important dates, so if anyone forgot valentines (or any other important date) pass on the link to the site!!
Hope you all have a LOVEly day and, as well as cards, get lots of hugs!

The happiest years
Why, is this the first time that I'm seein' you around
Could you be visiting or are you new in town?
Yeah, whatever the case, I'm feelin' you right here and right now
Your smile, and all the love you showin' lets me know that you
Like what you see and wanna get to know me too
This could very well be the start of somethin' special
Happy that I met you
I ain't even gonna front, I ain't even gonna lie
Since you walked up in the club, I've been givin' you the eye
We can dance if you want, get it crackin' if you like
That must be a full moon, felt like one of those nights
I didn't think that I'd come here tonight
Meet someone like you, start feeling the way I do
Seems like we've known each other most of our lives
After one conversation, this must be right
Full Moon - Brandy
I never thought I'd meet my husband in a nightclub, I never thought I'd be the kind of girl to have a whirlwind romance, I never thought I'd have a fairy tale proposal and be swept off my feet and spun round in the snow, I never thought I'd marry someone after five months of knowing them, I never dreamed I could be so happy, loved and cared for.
Yet that all happened to me and I married the man of my dreams (and more) five years ago today.
I love you more and more everyday my darling husband.
I appreciate everything you do for me and the kids.
I still get butterflies when I see you (because you're hot!) and grin like an idiot when I think about you.
Life is tough sometimes but I know we can get through anything together and we'll always have Paris.
Happy Anniversary baby!
I also never thought I'd marry someone that hated Tom Hanks but you can't have it all ;)
p.s. Kelli and Rebecca are having a giveaway so check it out!
