This year Halloween is filled with lots of firsts and lasts at our house. Isaac is 4 and so terribly excited for his "first real Halloween class party" and the oldest so graciously informed me that he didn't want a costume this year. My kids are at such different stages of life......but I am bound and determined to enjoy this Halloween with each of those different kids at each of their stages. It's all so different for each of them. The youngest can't wait to march in his own Halloween ... View the Post

Modern Maple Fall Pillow Tutorial
I have been seeing Modern Maple Quilts everywhere (just google it--there are some pretty spectacular ones) but last week I was in the mood for a quick project. So, I dug out my scrap bin, pulled out some colors and decided to make a Modern Maple Fall Pillow. And I even did the math (not my strong-suit) to make it fit right ;) This Maple Fall pillow tutorial fits snuggly in an 18 by 18 inch pillow form (the pillow cover is actually 17.5 by 17.5 but I think it gives a great fit) and they were a ...
