~Latte~

Alice has been spending most of her time outside lately, climbing lots of trees and chsing leaves, but when she does come inside, she's crazy cuddly... it's awesome.

So, less than 3 more weeks of school left...
trying not to think about it too much lol. I'm excited about extern, but also pretty nervous... I just want those first couple of days to be over with. Lol

On a different note, meet Latte.
She's really really fat.
And cute.


She's also in love with Steve.
He's not really in love with her.
But he says she's ok.
Just really really fat.

And on yet another note, I found this pattern in Fig Tree Quilts Houses and thought it was the cutest thing ever (yes, I know I just said cute, which should only apply to baby animals and my husband, but I'm making an exception).
It made me think of Pride and Prejudice for some reason...


Well, that's all my news for this week.
My mom-in-law finally got our quilts back from the quilters, so I'm excited to see how everything turned out. I'll post pics once I get them.

Weekend Projects


So I spent my weekend recovering from taking the MO Basic.... and basically trying not to stress wondering if I passed or not.
I found this project and decided to give it a try.. I meant to go with fall colors, but then I saw the blues and greens and purples together and couldn't resist.
I haven't decided yet if I want it quilted or if I'll just leave it kind of scrappy looking... I'm leaning towards making it a wall hanging, but it might end up as a pillow instead.



And then I finally finished sewing the binding onto my runner... it only took me over a month to get around to it lol..


Next on my list is to finish the binding on my Essence quilt.... I'm horrible about bindings... I don't know what I'm going to do when I get my two twin size quilts back... hmm, they might just never get finished. Lol!


Anywayz, that was my weekend...
Nothing too exciting, just good 'ol down time.

~Ash~


So... we've finally been getting around to decorating and unpacking the last few boxes from our move... I'm putting up about a million pics of the new house on this post, so be prepared.
This is the garden off to the side of the house... I should have taken a 'before' picture... you couldn't even see the garden underneath the jungle, but we cleared the whole thing out and it looks so much better.

And....
This is Ash.


She's ridiculously cute.
We drove up to Oklahoma this past weekend to pick her up... she's kind of our 2nd anniversary present to ourselves.



And this is my centerpiece for the coffee table...
I'm so stoked that fall is finally here!! I'm planning to drink a million cinnamon dolce lattes before Christmas!!


These next few pics are of the living room... we still have a few more things to get on the walls, and I'm finishing the binding on a quilt that I want to throw over the back of the couch... but it looks a lot better than it did.





And here's my tiny pathetic kitchen lol...


And our room....
I'm planning to completely redo the color scheme in here sometime next year when I'm working and bringing in a second income. Haven't completely decided on what colors yet, though. I keep flip-flopping on ideas.


Our poor walls don't have anything up on them yet... hopefully we'll get around to it this week sometime.


Today is our two year wedding anniversary... it seems like forever ago that we got married. Strange how fast time goes by. I definitely got the better end of the deal than he did lol... I get spoiled rotten. It rocks.

Less than 6 weeks of school left!!!
I've got butterflies just thinking about going to extern.... prayers are deeply appreciated!!
