whole living


quilt-along top completed!
me + ida
finding her feet
senior eli, growing up, looks are changing

hair + finger chewing 
sweetest of peas
smacking her lips
hmmmm.  

so we fed pablum and pears to ida tonight.  she is 5 months along now and grabs at anything that is heading to my mouth {which is a lot lately, oink, oink}.  so i thought i would see what she thought of a little food.  she actually didn't mind it.  didn't eat a lot, but tested it out and kept it down.  

while i was picking up baby food at the grocery store, i stumbled upon this magazine.  i am in love.  i subscribe to real simple and used to get domino {which is no longer in circulation}. whole living has everything i have been looking for in a magazine and more.  super stoked i found it, bummed i haven't clued in sooner.  subscribing for sure.

today i finished my quilt-along quilt top.  it is bright, it is crazy and c.j. has a hard time looking at it.  i am not totally in love with it, but i think that it will change a bunch once it is quilted and bound.  i am going to work on the back tomorrow and find a quilter to quilt it so i can bind it and finish it up.  the process has been really fun.  i am kind of sad it is almost over, i like to be working on something with others.  there is a flickr pool for the quilt-along, check it out.
there are some beautiful quilts out there.

o.k., it is late, i better hit the sack.  enjoy the pics.

You have a great talent. Writing and quilting. The kids are so beautiful. I love the new teeth Eli. And, Ida's hair is wonderful.
Love you all so much.
