My day started out with a wonderful egg and bacon meal made by hubby , then he and the 3 oldest went out and picked apples while Brandon my littest man and I puttered around the house. When Brandon went down for his nap I thought I would try and make me a new Sunday skirt. I have never made anything for myself to wear so I was a bit nervous. I used the book One yard Wonders that has a bias skirt pattern. Well I didn't have enough fabric to do it on the bias so I altered a few things and made it work. Im so excited it actually turned out. YAHOO! So here is a picture, sorry for the bad quality I took it in my bathroom to use the mirror.
So this I did between laundry and nap time for Brandon. When Aaron got home I was thrilled he had tons of apples for apple sauce and a flat of fresh pick blueberries YUMMY! I had my niece and 2 nephews over for the afternoon evening so I played for a bit made a sandwich and jello supper ( too hot to cook) the kids were picked up at 7ish and my kids were showered and off to bed YAY how I love bedtime. So this is what happened when the kids went down , cant get any better then this .
How often do you get to cut out fabric at 8pm on your patio . Hubby was outside watering so I cut out 36 of my quilt circles for the quilt I want to make while chatting with Aaron. Once that was done which is now I sat down with an ice cold glass on ice tea and some BC fresh cherries and my blog.(that's what I call a GREAT DAY).... have a nice Sunday.
Tania, your skirt turned out really cute! And I think I know which quilt you're making. I have that pattern, too and want to try it one day! Can't wait to see how yours progresses!
