Pottery Barn... Move over!

Here I am in San Diego with my cute little daughter Kimmie (favorite daughter :)

She has a new apartment and wanted to spruce up her patio, so she came up with a plan and I executed it!

Thanks to the Dollar Store, 3 clay pots and 2 bags of potting soil for $5 and a stop at Wal Mart for petunias at $5... and VOILA another successful ALLIORIGINAL CREATION!

We had our first BBQ on the CUTE patio tonight!

First quilt of the year

For Kaileys birthday this year (January 25, 2011) Christie and I made her a quilt using her old T-shirts.  We found a stash of shirts from elementry school, girls camp, tennis team, dance teams, EFY and other events that she participated in.  We wanted it to be warm and cozy so we cut out the logos from the shirts making 12" blocks and then sewed them  into a 'rag' quilt with purple flannel (her HS colors are purple and gold).  All of the seams are cut and frayed which add to the texture.  As you can see, she loves it.  Happy Birthday Kailey!
