Quilting

Working on a Christmas block swap I haven't quilted in over a year and it's my favorite Lori thing to do. Working on one for my inlaw's 50th got me back in the groove. Most frequent questions is where I find the time with three small children and I squeeze it in during quiet time and after their bed times. It's worth it :-) Also, we've had some major lack of sleep going with the two youngest so since I'm up, I've been quilting in the middle of the night. That time I could live with out.

Gluten Free Christmas Deserts

I want to record some of the food from the party on Saturday night. I had so much fun attempting gluten free versions :-)

Happy Birthday Grace

I can now say what project I completed yesterday during ice day. I was so glad to finish just in time for sweet Grace's 2nd birthday Friday. I made a baby quilt for this precious little girl Grace and her brave strong mommy Emily. They have the most beautiful heart tugging story starting with Grace being born 15 weeks early. They have been through more than I can imagine. I was so grateful to think about their great blessing in her as I sewed.

Sweet Grace had just woken from a nap early this evening when I took these pictures, so her hair is adorable :-)
