In 2011, I Made A Glorious Queen-size Quilt For My First Apartment With My Then-fiance. It Was A Big
In 2011, I made a glorious queen-size quilt for my first apartment with my then-fiance. It was a big project for a first-time quilter, but it worked out and has made me very happy. And I made a small #lapquilt for my grandmother for Christmas two years ago. I have been promising my mum a handmade quilt for YEARS now, but life kept interrupting, so I put this big project on the back-burner five years ago. I had bought most the fabric I thought I would need to make a simple block quilt with red, white, and blue square repeating pattern, but it ended up in boxes as I moved. Flash forward to two weeks ago. I was rifling through my craft hoard *ahem* stash and found the bag that contained all the fabric!😄 I realized that just simple squares wasn't going to do my work justice or her justice, so I made a plan and decided to sew my first #piecedquilt for her. She served in the Army and was a Field Artillery Officer, back when very few women had any major roles in combat positions. I am proud of her service and wanted to make a "patriotic" quilt for her. So, using the red, white, and blue fabric, I've come up with this! The quilt will initially be sewn on my sewing machine, then #handquilted by me. It'll be perfect as a throw blanket and fits a twin-size bed. I have the first row finished for the #quiltblocks and have 5 more rows to sew. I'm hoping this will be finished in time for her birthday in June🦊❤🎂 #quilt #thirdtimesacharm #piecedquilts #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #ilovemysewingmachine #sewcrafty #craftsupplyhoarder #fabric #cotton #redwhiteandblue #patrioticquilt #womeninthearmy #fieldartillery #fieldartilleryofficer #womanofficer #powerfulwomen #mymomwearscombatboots

The store had a big, PINK, Disney Princess motorized coach. Guess who found it. LOL #disneyprincess #stayoffthesidewalk
Well, nostalgia kicked me in the patoot today! I found some old photos from my senior photo shoot. I was 16 when they were taken and 17 when I graduated HS and then started college. I hope whomever decided making all the girls wear that horrid black faux velvet drape-thingy spends their afterlife being swathed in its uncomfortable confines for all of eternity, posing for the creepiest photographers imaginable. #sorrynotsorry #highschoolphotos #awkwardteenyears #thathairthough #schoolphotographers #fauxblackvelvet #iwantarefund
#tbt Two things have not changed since I was a kid: my undying love for my BFF @lza_plays and my fascination for bugs. Both make me exceedingly happy. 🤓 #tbt #bffgoals #bff #insect #80sfashion #imsoold #bangs #youllneverbeashappyasme #withabugonaleaf
They have my favorite type of #puzzles back in my #localwalmart ! Can you guess which one I want to get next? Hint: it's not the pink teddy bear. #3dcrystalpuzzle #toys #games #levelup
I would like to announce the arrival of the beautiful Addy to our home! My friend, @anniehunnam85 generously gifted her to me and I am over the moon with happiness!🦊❤🦊❤🦊 I've already put up her hair and am planning on getting/sewing her some more clothes. She'll be a bit of a time-traveller and be a friend to Leocadia's dolls, but she wholly mine and I love her! Thank you, @anniehunnam85 !!!❤❤❤ #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #myfirstagdoll #addydoll
To give you all an idea of tge scale of this dollhouse kitchen, Leocadia is sitting in it and still has room to move! She's very glad I'm adding more shelving "so the dolls can have more food!"😄 #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #ourgenerationdolls #mladolls #makerdreamerdoer #agdiy
