Cute boy alert!

While I was at the retreat, my favorite cowboys were at a local fall festival. They got to buy red hats and ride ponies.


Here is a pin I made from a kit. It is silk ribbon embroidery; took about 20 minutes to stitch it and put it together! I like instant gratification.

We have a new baby in the family! Hannah was born to Travis and Bridget (and big sister MacKenzie) on September 30th. Her nursery is done in pink and brown John Deere fabric, so I found this brown onesie for her and stitched some pink roses on it. Working on it made me hungry for chocolate cake with pink frosting roses....but then I could always be hungry for chocolate cake....with or without roses of any color....

And this is my second block for the Making Memories Breast Cancer fundraiser. At the retreat, Leslie had two blocks that someone had offered to do, then didn't, so I took one of them. The butterfly is 3D, like my previous block. What I really like about this block though is the SRE bouquet. Click on the pic for a larger view.

VERY cute cowboys. What I like about the block are the dragonflies. It is very pretty, as usual!

That is one really cute onesie! Where'd you find such a neat color? Congrats on the new family addition!

Cute cowboys indeed!! Can't wait to see the MM blocks put together. The stitching is so bright on the white blocks. The group is doing so well with these. Thanks for sharing yours.
