a quilt for mystery baby

I made this rag quilt a while ago and sent if off to my sister-in-law in New York who is expecting her first baby any second now. I absolutely love the fabric and felt it was pretty gender neutral (although husband was quick to point out there are quite a few floral prints), because they decided to wait to find out the gender.

So, we are on pins and needles waiting for a much anticipated phone call to tell us if we have a new niece or nephew. Can't wait to know who you are mystery baby!

And good luck Kristi, you are in our thoughts and prayers!

sunday best

Ambrosia Girl has started a Flickr group called Sunday Best to "prove that ‘modestly fashionable’ is not a contradiction." I already love it and if you are in need of some modest inspiration too then join up, the group is public. I'm usually not the type to take pictures of what I'm wearing, but this seems like it will be fun!

weekend snapshot

This weekend we drove down to sunny St. George to visit the husband's family and spent a good portion of Saturday morning at the local splash park. As you can see, the little miss was a bit timid (which I don't blame her - the fountains must look huge to her small eyes) but by the end she was walking around and laughing at the big kids.

Hope you had a sunny weekend too!

The little miss rocked her hairblooms hibiscus headband this weekend and it was so cute on her now I want one too! You can ask for them to come as clips so even us grown-ups can wear them!

Thank you to everyone who commented and linked to the hairblooms giveaway! My sister is so appreciative of your support; her shop has taken off already and a big part of that was you helping to spread the word! Thank you, thank you!

And now onto the business at hand, our winner is:
