Greyson Paul's Personalized Baby Quilt



Another baby quilt...  

This was my inspiration (i.e. the nursery):



My choice of fabric:


If it wasn't wintertime, I might be able to take pictures with natural light beaming in the windows but unfortunately we live in darkness except for weekends.  (We leave for work in the morning and it is dark and we return in the evening in the dark.)  I am impatient and do not want to wait for the weekend to take my snapshots.  You have to trust that these fabrics do coordinate very nicely's with the nursery if I do say so myself.

Baby Bibs and Burp Cloths



I made these bibs and burp cloths for Maria May...  They are reversible and made of terry cloth and cotton fabric.

Check out my tutorials from when I made some for Gage...

Maria May's Personalized Baby Quilt



Neighbor's Brent and Michelle became grandparents just a couple short months ago.  I had to make the new Maria May her very own personalized quilt.

As I had done before, I purchased the sheet to the bedding set that Mom picked out and took that with me to the fabric store to find some coordinating fabrics to go with it.

This was her bedding set that Mom picked out...

These hand-stamped Mother's Heart Necklaces are still a favorite.  I didn't get very good pics but need to show them off just the same...



All components are .925 Sterling Silver.

Where I've Been...

Wow!  It's been a VERY long time.  All I can say is that we have been busy.  I will let you take a look for yourself...

We had a crazy busy spring last year.  Steel played flag football and baseball.  We were running to practices every night of the week.

Steel had 2 football games every Saturday...








Baseball was in full swing come May.  I had to make some Fan Gear...


(This terrible mom has NO baseball pictures...ARGH) besides this group shot...



Thank goodness for All Stars where I was able to snap a couple...



We traveled 85 miles west every weekend to 1 Cedar Point Drive, Sandusky, Ohio from May thru Labor Day... (minus 1 weekend for a wedding)

We enjoyed Cedar Point...




And being silly and relaxing on the boat...




We enjoyed Sandusky Bay...





And the Sandbar...





Dad had a birthday...


We enjoyed Kelley's Island...





And PIB... 






Steel broke his arm... (but still had fun with his waterproof padding under his cast...)


It was a great summer...





Steel started SECOND grade...



Mom turned 40...



Steel turned 8...



He had the Game Truck for his party...






We enjoyed our Steelers on Sundays...






We enjoyed Thanksgiving...

Steel had his second grade concert...




Cole had a birthday...


We enjoyed Christmas...




Gage was baptized and we celebrated...




Gage turned ONE...




Puppy turned 4 (28 in puppy years...)...


And we have had 9 (NINE) snow days this year so far and it is only February 8th! 

I will be back soon!
