Quilts, Ninjas, and Love

I don't think I mentioned this, but I finally finished my quilt right before Jillian arrived! I started this quilt back in December of 2009. I wanted to do a baby quilt because I'm lazy I figured it would be small enough to handle since I'm new to the process. Being so much like my astrological sign, I got distracted and/or hit road bumps because I'm not familiar with quilting or using a sewing machine. I was very close to finishing this fall so my mom offered to help when she came for Jillian's birth. I finished two days before Jillian came into the world with my mama's help, (and the grace of God because that sewing machine was not going down without a fight). It has lots of mistakes, but it is made with love. Plus, it accomplishes something else on my list of 30 things to do before I'm 60! Since we live in Oklahoma, it is cowboy themed, but the other side is brown with white polka dots.

{You better believe I was hiding my huge belly with it ;)}

I definitely won't be getting the mom of the year award. The last two times I put a headband on Jillian's head, it fell over her eyes while she took a nap. She looked so much like a ninja, I just had to take some pictures! Of course, if I were a better mom, I would have fixed it without the pictures. What fun would that have been though?

I've been seeing a lot of people posting their love stories lately in honor of Valentine's Day. I know I have a short version on my long winded about me. However, I may do a special edition on Valentine's Day because I lurv my man :)

Happy Friday y'all!
