Party Post

Most of the last week was spent getting everything ready for Squeak's 1st birthday.  I did manage to get a bit of sewing done in my spare time :)

My Orbit Quilt Top is complete!  Now I have until April 1st to get it quilted and bound.  I'm not going to hold my breath...






My March block of the And Sew On is done


I was accepted into the Modern She Made Swap on Flickr.  After reading and re-reading my partners likes and dislikes I came up with this little bundle.  I'd love your thoughts!  I was thinking a tote, a pouch, and possibly a covered journal.  I bought quite a bit of fabric and I play to keep making items on her list until I run out of fabric or time.  The theme this round is stars.  A star must be incorporated somehow (fabric, quilting, design, etc.) and I have several ideas of how to make this work.


Now about that birthday party:


Sorry for the extremely blurry picture!

 
A closer view


Target did a pretty good job on our cupcakes and the white ones were delicious (chocolate--not so good).

It took him a minute to get started since there was a lot going on but once he got the hang of it...

He looked like this!  He has tons of new toys to play with and even more to come!  I hope it was the best first birthday possible :).  He deserved it!

Linking up to Let's Get Acquainted at Plum & June Owen's Olivia , Anything Goes, and BOMs Away Monday.
