Working Around the House.....

I am not sure if I mentioned that my better half is on vacation...I thought he was to be home for two weeks....but it is actually three weeks....Yikes!
I am used to the goings on when it is just the girls about the house....it is a little different with the hubs home...

So for the last couple of days I have been drafting a project for an up coming class...
A little pincushion.... a house...


Honestly, I think I could have finished a quilt in the time it has taken me to draft this little baby....but it is almost there....I just need to tweak it a little...


Over the weekend I picked up some pretty fabric and trim....maybe a little pouch for my sister...


And I have been clicking along with this grandmothers flower garden {lifetime quilt}....I think I have convinced Molly to help me with the hexies....YAY!


I did purchase a new camera today...now I need to learn how to use it properly....but so far I am liking it :)

I clicked this pic of Molly as she arrived home from swimming lessons {she teaches wee ones to swim}..... 


Hope you are doing well!
