It’s beginning to feel a lot like fall here! I decided to update to a new fall theme! What do you think? :)

Also.. The Fonts for Peas page has been totally revamped!! In addition to a funky new design, it’s got some awesome new features including:

• 25 of the cutest brand new fonts ever added today!! :D
• You can sort the fonts by their “Added on” date so you can be sure you have the latest fonts.
• Filter by type like Print, Script, Doodles, Alphas with Doodles, etc to find exactly what you’re looking for. Or use the new “Search for a font” feature!
• Now you can subscribe to the Fonts for Peas page via RSS if you only want to receive new font updates. If you don’t use RSS, don’t worry, you can still subscribe over here and continue to receive new font updates! :)

(Can you tell my monitor is widescreen??!)

Hmm, I think that’s all for today! :) Hope you like the new updates! Thanks for looking! :)

I had so much fun making my first rag quilt, I immediately had to start another one! And I had *just* the project in mind. Several years ago I was browsing through a craft store when I came across printable fabric. Yes, printable fabric you put in your printer and print digital pictures from your computer onto it. I thought, “Well! If anybody needs printable fabric, it’s gotta be me.” I’ve been hoarding this fabric since 2004, waiting for just the right project to come along. And I have to say, this photo rag quilt was *perfect*!!! :)

I have been seeing these super cute rag quilts lately and have been dying to try one! I’ve always wanted to make a quilt (despite my glaring lack of sewing skillz) and these rag quilts looked like something I could handle. I am really *so bad* at sewing, so I always have tons of extra fabric left over from my sewing projects. I checked my stash and I had some really cute patterns leftover from the crate covers and some clothes I made for Miley that all coordinated.

Since I had all my supplies on hand and didn’t even have to go to the store, I decided to start this late on Friday night. By Saturday night, I had this!!

Be sure and check out the rest of the pics (and get the instructions!) by clicking here! :)

This was a fun project, even for a sewing challenged loon like myself! :) While I won’t be opening an Etsy store anytime soon, this probably won’t be the last rag quilt you see from me! ;)

Thanks for looking! :D

It’s finally done! :D Everything you ever wanted to know about us and *much, much* more. lol. Who are we? What do we do? What do we fight about?? It’s all revealed in our FAQ: ;) Click below to read! :)

About Us & Frequently Asked Questions

In other news, this weekend we were down in Auburn to visit my parents and go to the football game. Auburn’s a great place to update our family pictures because my dad can take the pictures, my mom can get the dogs to look at the camera, and the woods around their new house make a very nice background! :)

This weekend was Kevin’s BIG 30th birthday!! :) To celebrate we spent a long weekend in a cozy condo right on the beach- no dogs, no cats, just us. :) Even though the hurricane was supposed to come through, we didn’t have any bad weather, it was bright and sunny all except for one day. For Kevin’s birthday dinner we got fresh crab claws & shrimp right from the gulf and fried them up for a celebration meal.

And by a stroke of pure chance, it just so happens that on the exact same weekend at the exact same beach where Kevin and I were vacationing, my BFF from grammar school (who now live in Oregon) was staying just *two* condos down the beach from our condo. We were just a stroll down the beach from each other!

My beautiful friend, Niki - she has not changed a bit, she has always been this gorgeous!!

 

I was so, so lucky to get to do a beach photoshoot with Niki and her beautiful daughter Amerie. (Isn’t it crazy when your friends start having kids?? :)) And I got a chance to try out my new Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens! :)

 

Amerie was the sweetest, happiest baby. She not shy one bit! :)

 

Good genes run in the family - Just look at that precious smirk and those gorgeous eyes. There was no photoshop work done here! Her eyes were just as clear, blue and sparkly in person. :)
