I think this pretty much sums up our weekend so far...

This truly represents our busy weekend!  This is Logan's beloved blankie that I found out in the backyard leaf pile (it's strangely been really windy for California this weekend).  We had a LONG car buying experience on Friday but luckily after five long hours and not nearly enough toys for the kids, we got a new car!  Church today followed by visiting my inlaws and back home for dinner and playing out side.  Logan is a true boy...loves being outside, loves exploring, and loves getting dirty!  Well, better get ready for our BBQ tomorrow...

Construction is underway!

Work on my newest project is in full force!  I'm working on a twin size baby clothes memory blanket for a wonderful customer's daughter...and I just received the box o' clothes in the mail the other day.  Isn't it funny how getting a package delivered makes you feel like a kid opening a Christmas present?  I love it!  This is going to be a huge project and extremely time consuming since each piece needs to be cut and backed individually for the ultimate durability and overall "prettyness."  The end result is amazing though and it's so fun to piece together a mother's memories of her little girl.  I like to think that one day this mom will sit with her little girl on her lap and tell her about the fond memories that each square represents and one day maybe this little girl will pass her heirloom quilt down to her daughter.  Ahhhh, I guess I'm a romantic!  Check out my shop for the memory quilt that I made my son!  Adorable stuff!

I'm it!!!!

My "little loves"...

These are my two "little loves"...my sweet babies!  Logan and Olivia are such blessings to our lives and they are the reason I get up at 4:00am to work a full time job and own my own online baby boutique, Petit Amour that I run out of my home.  So much can be accomplished with just a table, a sewing machine and lots and lots of love!  I'm such a blessed lady!
