Happy Love Day

We're not big Valentine's Day celebrators but I do think it's a good reminder that we need to make time to cherish our loved ones regularly.

Coincidentally, a new batch of baby chicks arrived today! And they could not be cuter!

We are {still} living with my Dad right now and he raises chickens for their eggs. It's so nice to have fresh organic eggs all the time!
{The search for a home continues, the real estate supply is super low right now which is frustrating and a test in patience but we are hopeful to find the right one soon! In the meantime, we are grateful to my Dad for letting us live with him and Jack is having a ball living in the "country".}

I have two pink baby quilts in progress at the moment.


Have a love-ly day!

~the fair~

The other fun event I look forward to in summer is the North Texas State Fair. It has a much more small town fair feel than the State Fair of Texas (in Dallas) does and I really like it. It has a number of free things for the little kids to do and it's small enough that you only have to spend an evening there, which is all Jack can handle anyway. The important thing is that I got to eat my annual cheese nachos and funnel cake.

The petting zoo is fun.

This is what Jack did when we asked him to go pet the baby goat so we could take a picture.

And, on total impulse and after reading this post from Amanda, I entered a few of my quilts.

It was hard to tell how many entries were in the categories I entered (seemed like there wer hardly any) so for all I know, this second could be out of 2. But it was fun to see them hanging there anyway!

I cannot believe it is September already!!! I have 2 big finished quilts to show you I just don't have pictures of them yet.

Looks like we'll finally dip below 100 degrees this weekend and I am so, SO excited about it!
