MY FIRST QUILT

this might not be the cutest quilt around but its a quilt... well the top to one. I went through all my old craft stuff last weekend and found a bunch of old yellow fabric that was too small to make anything out of so I decided to make a baby blanket. I have plans to make a big pretty quilt for my mom for MOTHERS DAY. I will post pictures if that really happend :)

SPRING IS HERE

there are so many things that make Spring time my Favorite time of the year. I love all the colorful flower and the birds chirping, I love the sound and smell of people mowing the lawn, I love hearing kids play during my evening walks with Geoff and Raisa, I love to watch my Dog pounce around the yard trying to catch birds and squirrels. I could go on forever about the things that I love about spring but I will stop there and post some pictures that I took last week.




















OH and EASTER did I mention how much I love Easter!
here are some pictures from this years Easter with the Perez side of the family.

SPRING BREAK

During my little break from work I decided make our front room look a Little less bare, so I paint a wall and hung a picture. Now all we need is an area rug and the room will be done. They pretty much call me the queen of home improvements :)




Before



After












There is not much of a difference but it was fun :) and it kept me busy for a day.

My next project is to make our Kitchen look nice.... or at least get rid of all the brown.



Not a great picture of Geoff, but its the only one I have of the kitchen and I cant find my camera :) Oh and I made that apron over the break :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KACIE!

My best friend Kacie turned 28 on the 1st of April. She had a wine party to celebrate this weekend and I was not able to make it :(

Cheers Kacie...



I hope all your wishes and dreams come true this year ;)

Miami In March

I got to see my grandma this march for the first time in almost three years. She wont fly, and I can never seem to find the time to make it over there. Mima is in her 80's so getting around isn't as easy as it once was for her. even more now that she has a broken ankle that doesn't seem to want to heal.





After the visit I promised her that I would try and make it down there at least once a year.

during my visit to Florida I had the opportunity to go to the keys and spend a few nights at my uncles house down there with him and my dad. One of the days a bunch of cousins and aunts came to spend the day by the pool and on the boat. It was really nice to see everyone.



The nights on the patio were so nice, I sat and read my book while enjoying the sunset and the cool breeze .
