Quilt Anxiety, Braids, Framed...

I am making a quilt!!
Oh now don't go getting all excited...
it is not very fancy...
just a simple patchwork one...
but the fabric!!!
Oh the fabric!!
I have saved up from my Etsy store
to buy these!
I just stare at them...
and pet them.

Yesterday I did all the cutting.
Just the cutting was enough for one day for me.
My anxiety from worrying if I was going to mess up the cuts was an 8...
maybe a 8.5.
I needed some wine after this.

I am super excited for this quilt!
Allikaye is getting her professional pics done in a month...
by the same amazing photographer that took
her 1 year, 2 year, and now 3 year pics!!
And I am hoping to have a quilt...
my quilt (!)...
in the pictures!

Here is another exciting thing over here...
braids!!
Allikaye watched Rapunzel and then asked me
to do her hair in a braid!
I was so. on. it!
She never lets me doll her up!
I told her to peek up at me in this picture...
oh she makes me swoon!
So pretty!

Okay - here's another little project I done did.
Yeah, I just said that.
I had a Keep Me Calm poster since February...
and I have been searching for the perfect frame.
Thank you Goodwill for...
this gold beauty!

It was a mirror...very gold!

Here it is after some white paint...
e.x.a.c.t.l.y what I envisioned!
Woohoo!

Here is another of my braided beauty!
I have to put this picture in here.
I need to remember this time in Allikaye's life.
She makes me laugh! Laugh! Laugh!

She is very particular about what she wears.
Right now we are going on week 3 of
dresses...
only dresses.
It's the first thing she says when she wakes up,
"Mom, can I get dressed? I only wear dresses."

And the dresses typically change
throughout
the day.

I never know what I am going to see when I
go in after quiet time.

Today...
blue dress...
and pink headband...
oh and the braids...
mama loves the braids.

Quilting and braiding
in Colorado.

We out.
