They even had a little craft area where kids could decorate a free teeny pumpkin. Here's Gabi's</div>

On Halloween, we all wore costumes, I didn't wear mine for long though ;) Hubby was Mario since Ellie wanted to be Peach.<br />

These store bought costumes were a mess after one day of wear, but that's okay since we don't dress like video game characters most of the time anyhow ;)<br />
<br />
Camden chose Pac Man for his costume, I made him a 2D pacman and he asked Tyler to be a baby red ghost. <br />

I wore this for all of three seconds before deciding it was horrifically uncomfy and switching to regular clothes to shlep the kids from house to house. It was my 36th birthday this Halloween and I honestly had so much fun :) </div>

We were celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary. We had a great night. First, we dropped the kids off at a local kids night out event. Then, we went out to a steakhouse for dinner and enjoyed a leisurely meal without worrying that the baby might melt down at any moment ;) After that, we had massages and strolled around the bookstore for coffee and magazines. It was a lovely evening and I'm so glad we made the time for it.<br />
<br />
Here's what I wore, remember, I'm in Texas so it's a balmy 90 degrees in the evenings here right now ;)<br />

It's <a href="http://www.lekala.co/women-sewing-patterns/dresses/short-dress.html" target="_blank">This</a> pattern. I was super impressed with Lekala. I got my extremely reasonably priced patterns in no time. When I had an issue downloading the sewing instructions, I received a speedy response and copies of the instructions were emailed to me. I have a 34H bust so dresses involve crazy amounts of alterations to commercial patterns. With Lekala, I just included the measurements they asked for and the dress fit perfectly with no alterations :) <br />
<br />
Thanks for reading :)<br />

This quilt is extra special to me because it's the first time I've actually had someone else professionally longarm one of my quilts. The lovely Jessica at <a href="http://remnantsfiberculture.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Remnants Fiber Culture</a> quilted it with a floral and swirl motif in a lovely minty thread shade. I freaking love it. <br />

<br />
Just catching up by posting a few newly completed quilts. First up is this <a href="http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/thomas_knauer/savanna_bop" target="_blank">Savanna Bop</a> by <a href="http://www.thomasknauersews.com/" target="_blank">Thomas Knauer</a>. The blocks and Fabric were gifted to me for my 6 month old son Tyler by <a href="http://www.fiberosity.com/" target="_blank">Heather of Fiberosity</a> who had leftovers from making <a href="http://www.fiberosity.com/?p=367" target="_blank">this</a> awesome quilt. She took some photos of Ty on the quilt one day and he loved the colors and patterns in it so she gifted him the leftovers so I could make him his own mini version :)<br />
<br />

<br />
It's backed in a soft white and blue striped flannel which was also donated to my stash from Heather. Noticing a trend here yet???<br />

<br />
And I completed the <a href="http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/march2011/TeaForTwo.pdf" target="_blank">free embroidery pattern</a> to go with it and added his name below. I changed the coffee cup to a mod flower that reminded me of the circles in the fabric prints from this line. Why did I change it? Well, the baby doesn't drink coffee yet ;)<br />

<br />
The second quilt I'm sharing today is made from <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/Hello-Pilgrim-Lizzy-House-Andover-Fabrics.asp" target="_blank">Hello Pilgrim</a> by <a href="http://lizzyhouse.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Lizzy House</a>. I purchased the bundle of fat quarters I used from Jessica at <a href="http://remnantsfiberculture.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Remnants Fiber Culture</a> here in Austin. The design was inspired by this cute free <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/to/bcaN#http://sewhooked.com/2012/04/18/garden-party-blog-hop-day-18/" target="_blank">Paper Pieced Pennants</a> border pattern. <br />

<br />
The backing is a vintage sheet and the binding is the worst binding job I've ever done. It was seriously a mess. Cut the binding too narrow for double fold, pressed ahead anyhow, used a small piece of fabric so I had a million seams. Someday, I'll have to take it off and redo it. Since it's being used as a playmat for the baby, I'm not too worried about it right now though ;)<br />

So, whenever he wants anything, all day long, he goes "oooh oooh oooh" in a disgruntled voice. I remember it getting better with all the others once they got more mobile and weren't getting stuck in various baby entertainment contraptions whenever I had to get something done. I don't want him to grow up too fast, but I'd be OK with him learning to make a few other noises when complaining. His lack of interest in his baby toys is putting a bit of a cramp into my crafting/quilting/blogging time, but his giggles and cuddles are more than making up for it. He's so big now! He grew 2.5 inches and 2.5 pounds in the last two months alone. The doctor said that's quite a growth spurt ;) <br />

She's recently learned to email and basically sends messages to her Nana and I only. When I read her email, she specifically asked if I was making her anything on my retreat. I told her the truth, I brought a couple of different quilts to work on. None were specifically meant for her, but, if one appealed to her when I returned, she could have it. <br />
<br />
I knew that meant I was going to lose my sparkly quilt. You see, my friend <a href="http://www.fiberosity.com/" target="_blank">Heather</a> bought a Lost and Found by Riley Blake quilt kit and made a quilt from it. I saw the quilt at her house and it just stuck in my head. The sparkles were subtle and pretty and I wanted one for me. So I ordered the sparkly fat quarters and a charm pack of the non sparkly fabrics. I brought it with me to make myself a quilt on the retreat. My 6 year old girlie girl loves sparkles so it was no longer my quilt.....simple as that ;)<br />

<br />
She wanted the back to be "as purple as possible" so that it would be reversible, like two quilts in one. <br />

<br />
That's most of the purple from my stash, I need to restock ;)<br />
<br />
She fretted about the binding for a bit, but <a href="http://remnantsfiberculture.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jessica</a> saved the day by finding some pink sparkly fabric for her to use and made her day. We added some purple as the pink was a small remnant. <br />
Gabi is thrilled with the quilt and sleeps under it every night :)<br />

I'm not too heartbroken though, I made a quilt for me on the retreat too:<br />

Made from a bundle of LouLouThi fabric by Anna Maria Horner that I purchased from Jessica. I backed it with a vintage sari from the thrift store. It's just the right size to take on my trip so I have a safe place to lay Ty or keep us warm on the plane :)<br />

He loves fabric, patterns, building things, and playing with my design wall. When it comes to favorite blankets though, he always picks cheap fleece softies instead of the quilts I make him. For example, the first quilt I made him was an eye spy quilt. He would pretend to like it then hide it in his closet after I left from putting him to bed. I'd find it balled up in a corner the next morning. Finally, he admitted it scared him with the Halloween Monster Eyes square on it. So, he went back to fleece again. Then, I decided, since he didn't like sleeping with quilts, I'd make him a playmat quilt. So, I quilted him a little train tracks panel for him to ride his trains on. It too got ignored, he preferred building with tracks. Next, we had an ugly fabric challenge at the Austin Modern Quilt Guild and I made a little sock monkey doll quilt. Camden desperately wanted it and claimed it as his own. He changed his mind and gave it back to me a few months later. I was ready to throw in the towel on making quilts for him. He just never seemed happy with them. But, on a trip to Remnants, he found a new favorite fabric and picked out a bundle begging me to make it into a quilt for him.....and I can't tell him no, so.....<br />

Lots of latin flavor like the hearts and crosses. The fabrics are Folklorico from Alexander Henry with some<br />
tribals from Africa and other prints from my stash thrown in. The bundle is from Remnants Fiber Culture here in Austin.<br />

I'm happy to report that he is sleeping under this quilt every night. In a strange turn of events, his love of this quilt made him take a second look at that eye spy quilt and decide it was pretty cool too. Now he plays eye spy before bed with me every night using that quilt and sleeps under a stack of blankets. He sleeps with a favorite fleece blanket, his eye spy quilt and his new quilt each and every night :) <br />

She has a lovely quilt, which looks like this:<br />

<br />
It's a simple friendship star alternated with plain blocks. It has little fussy cut babies in the centers of the stars. She calls it her babies quilt and she can't stand to sleep without it. <br />
<br />
Lately though, she's been telling people she is 6 years old. I guess she thinks she is the same as her big sister. <br />
<br />
Obviously though...she is not six...<br />
<br />

<br />
But she happily chose a bundle of fat quarters from Jessica's shop Remnants in Austin. And a Rose Card Pattern to match. And now...she has a new big girl quilt. She still sleeps with her babies quilt too, but she is quite proud of her big girl quilt. Even though only one of the fabrics is dotted, she calls it "the polkadot quilt"<br />

My new favorite solid is by Connecting Threads. It's their Mirage blender in Silver Lining. But I like to use the back side of that particular fabric. It has a lovely suiting or linen looking weave to it and looks great in every project I use it in :)<br />

I love zombies. I really do. I screen printed the blocks and then did patchwork blocks in between. I sleep under this quilt every night. It makes me happy every time I look at it. Sometimes it's fun to craft something others don't get, but you love to pieces ;)<br />

Lots of vendors were selling amazing reupholstered furniture which was way out of my price range. Especially with how furniture gets treated by the little ones. So, I picked up an 8$ thrift store chair and used some leftover paint. I used some pretty Waverly home dec vintage fabric from the fair to cover the cushion. <br />

These are perfectly sized for her at almost 3 years old. Be sure and hold the printed pattern up to your child's arm and adjust the size of the sling as needed before buying your supplies. If you increase the size of the sling, you will need more fabric, webbing, and binding accordingly. The Orthopedic Surgeon said that bigger is better for slings so make sure your child's arm will fit comfortably completely within the pouch. There is no need to have their fingers poking out when they aren't using them. <br />

<br />
<br />

Doesn't she look innocent??? <br />
<br />
Usually, she looks more like this:<br />

She is my fastest, wildest, most often bleeding child of all. She leaps from tall objects and falls on her face more often than is wise. She is a truck. When she falls down and bleeds from both knees and both elbows, she gets back up without a tear and runs off before even accepting a hug and kiss. It's just how she rolls. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So, it comes as no surprise, that she fell off her sister's bed, landed on her brother's head, and broke her arm. Here's how it went down....<br />
<br />
1. I heard the thump of a falling child<br />
2. Said child started crying so I met her in the hallway to see what happened<br />
3. She repeatedly tells me her arm hurts and wants me to hold her (this isn't like her at all)<br />
4. While waiting for her Daddy to get home, she climbs and runs and does pushups on her arm but, every once in a while stops and grabs it and whimpers<br />
5. I decide to take her to the ER despite the fact that she is chipper and active<br />
6. The doctor watches her use her arm like a lunatic but decides to still x-ray it since I'm worried<br />
7. Doctor returns and says "you weren't kidding about her high pain tolerance". A splint is ordered. <br />
8. Arm gets splinted, we get some Motrin, she goes to bed. <br />
9. An appointment is made for tomorrow when she can get a real cast. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, she keeps using her splinted arm to climb and catch herself when she falls. I made her a sling since the doctor said don't let her bend or dent the splint. <br />
<br />
The first try was a bit too small and she kept sneaking out of it<br />
<br />
<br />

So, I made another one from Heather Ross West End: <br />

So far, it's much better, but, short of super glue, I don't think anything will keep her little arm still ;)<br />

It hasn't been released yet but it's called Brrr! It's produced by Robert Kaufman. I used it to make a super cute little modern quilt. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I improv pieced 4 blocks and then kept it super simple with lots of natural linen. It was quilted in vertical lines of varying widths. </div>
