Thank you Niki!

Finally, my husband hooked my old computer back up and I found my camera cord, and now I have pictures to share! First thanks so much to Niki who sent me my Four Seasons Quilts a few weeks ago. (I'm so terrible for just now talking about it! I'm so sorry Niki!) I love it! It reminds that fall should be coming any time now, but it is still scorching hot here in PA. I'm still working on my quilt but hopefully soon I'll have it done. (I only have one week left!)


Yesterday Tater and I went to a birthday party for Aaron who turned 3. I wanted to give him something other than toys so I made him a little tote bag with his name on it. I lined it with the car material and it's reversible in case he likes that side better. I also made a pencil holder to match. I've been seeing these all over and thought it would be the perfect addition along with some coloring books and construction paper.

STEELERS! STEELERS! STEELERS!



The football season has started once again and also the Sunday football madness that goes on in my household! I'm just happy the Steelers won...hopefully this is a sign of a great season to come! (Check out Tater's crazy post-nap hair!)

I'm working with a new computer

C L A R k I E n E p T U N E

I saw this on Raesha's blog and thought it was pretty cool. We had to get a new computer last week. I haven't had a chance to figure out downloading pictures yet but as soon as I do I have lots to share! In the meantime, check out my best friend's new blog... internalprogression...I'm so proud of her!

2 swaps in the future

Hello again. I'm going to be in 2 swaps coming up and I wanted to share in case anyone reading this would like to join. The first is the four seasons quilt swap. Doll quilts are going to swapped with a "fall" theme. Click on the button for more info or to sign up. Fall is my favorite time of year so I'm really looking forward to this!
The second is actually a swap that I am organizing. It is for granny square crocheted afghans. The afghans are to be square or rectangular with each side being a minimum of 30 inches. Any granny square pattern may be used whether it be one large square or lots of squares together. If you would like to participate, please email me at clarksmom1226(at)yahoo(dot)com. Make sure you say something about granny swap on the subject line (I seem to be getting lots of junk mail and don't want to accidentally delete anyone). Please tell me your name, address, blog address if you have one, if you're willing to ship internationally and if you have any color preferences or anything else your partner would need to know (like wool allergies, etc.) Sign ups begin now and will end next Friday August 10. My plan is to email everyone on Saturday August 11 with their partner info. Send outs should be no later than November 2, which will be 12 weeks from receiving partner info. If you think that's not enough time, please let me know! I'm really hoping this works out! Any questions or anything I forgot, please ask! Hope to hear from you! Have a good weekend!

The one with all the pictures...



Since coming back from a week at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, I realized I had lots to share. Here is my doll quilt I received in the swap from Lori. Isn't it beautiful!?!?!?!?! And look at the beads on the flowers, they're a little hard to see. I think it's perfect! And this is Piper Ann. I got her here. Sherry makes the best raggedy's! Check them out!
And here at last is the baby afghan I made for my brother-in-law and his wife. The shower was on Wednesday so now I can post it without ruining any surprise! I love how the border came out!

Finished!


It's finished...except tucking in a few ends. It's on the small side, about 25" square. I love it!!!! Thanks again to Michelle for the color inspiration! Now if I could just say finished for my doll quilt... : )
