Daddy designed quilt

Round two of the quilt! I said I wanted to learn how to quilt so I did. My first round was a practice round. A small, only two layer quilt in beautiful rich purples and turquoises with modern cartoon print doggy faces. A few mistakes, a few oups’ but overall I am proud.

So I went to Fabricville, ready to buy material and confront the real one.
Mistake number one: I brought my husband, daddy-to-be, with me.

So you are wondering why this is a mistake? Let me tell you why... as mommies, and woman and girls, we have style and taste and vision and know what we want. When you mix a man into this equation, and not any man, your husband, your baby’s daddy, you apparently have to take into consideration his opinion... on choice of fabric?!

Ricardo insisted that the 'dancing cow in their boxer' fabric was hilarious and a must in the baby’s life. He even waited himself in line to have it cut and matched other colour fabric as well as paid for it. He was so excited and so happy, so.... I made the daddy designed quilt!

Sadly, even though this quilt is thicker and better sewn and has less mistakes, it has dancing cows on it... but his face every time he sees it... let’s just say, maybe the cow quilt can grow on me!

Warm weather = bath time!

Warm weather in our house means bath time… a time when my dogs actually hate me, run from me and give me that sad puppy face that tries to get them out of the undeniable bath! Clara is a 10 year old golden retriever that has way too much fur and a bit of a Buddha belly but all of this changes once she gets a bath… she looks so wimpy.
I love love love my dogs, especially when they smell all nice and clean! Yay to warm weather!!!
