Goodies on my sewing table! I haven't had much time to sew, but last weekend we were on a little bit of a road-trip. We stopped in Hamilton, Mo. at the Missouri Star Quilt Company. It is a delightful little shop, and the family that runs it are very friendly and helpful. If you have not checked out their website, you should. They have an awesome collection of jelly rolls, honey buns, turn overs and charm packs. I had to have the Caterwaulen fabric to make a little quilt for Max to hang out on. Hope she will lay on it instead of whatever quilt I am working on at the time....maybe? And I got the car fabric to make a little nap quilt for Jack....cute stuff! Got it cut out today, but not much sewing done.
I had both boys today, it was a stormy, rainy day, so we went out to eat pizza. We always have a good time, and they do not want to go home. I think if they were here for very long they would be ready to go home to Mommy and Daddy!
Jim came home with a very nice surprise...tickets to see Tim McGraw in concert, with Lady Antebellum. What a great birthday present! Can't wait until June 27th!
Hope everyone has a nice weekend, we are hoping the storms are gone so that we can paint the deck tomorrow!
Jordyn celebrated her 6th birthday with a Magic birthday party. She has decided she likes performing magic tricks and her stage name is "Alexandria". I decided to make her a magicians cape and she was delighted! Now she can be a pro!
Laundry, dusting, sweeping, mopping......hard choices here! I wanna get this quilt pinned and quilted! 
For the past week, I have noticed a pair of Mallard ducks in my front yard. Every morning when I go to work they are there. Yesterday, I noticed the female duck walking around in my flower bed and the drake was standing on the steps to the porch. It made me wonder if they were looking for a place to nest....sure enough, when I came home there were 3 eggs hidden under the iris. This morning there is another one! Wonder how many she will lay before she starts to sit on the nest? The lake is a few blocks away, hope they figure out how to safely get their babies through the neighborhood to the lake. 
I have my courthouse steps sewn together...need to get some backing and get it quilted. Not such a great picture, but I made the border out of 2 different fabrics. I love to make blocks and I love the quilting process...but not the pinning so I can get it quilted....major road-block!
