I just wanted to share some things I have been working on lately. I have been doing really well with the "making time for me" thing the past few days. I have been organizing the house like crazy too. We are getting ready for some new furniture, so it seems I am nesting before that happens. I moved our homeschool downstairs yesterday. Now, I can do housework-y things while the kids are working independently instead of just sitting there waiting. Brice asked me yesterday if I wanted the people we used for our cabinets to make like a large island with storage under it. I may have to take him up on that. It's so funny that after almost 2 years in this house, we are still getting things just the way we want them.
On to the fun, crafty stuff. I have been working on these on and off for a week.
I'm calling them the beach glass cushions because that's what they remind me of. These worked up really quick. They are from the book Granny Love, which is by Sarah London. I used one of her patterns to make Finley's ripple blanket. She is so talented and the book is a very worth it buy. I just have to finish the backs on these. They are destined for the new couch.
I have also been working on my "Crackle" quilt. This pattern is by Aneela Hoey. I love it. It was a little tricky at first, but it is absolutely amazing once you get past it. I have finished 2 rows.
I love all the patterns that jump out at you! (I've said that before, right!)
There are so many exciting things going on in blogland. I joined this. I want to do this. I hope I have time for it all!
Have a great day y'all!


I have the crackle pattern. Love the pattern but the instructions are limited.
Did you find it easier to press your seams open or to one side?
Also is it a square block
