Hobo Bag with a Paganelli Flare

Monday was my friend Marianne's birthday.  Our birthday's are just a week apart. :)

She loves purses and bags and I have been itching to break into my Crazy Love fq bundle I got for my birthday.

A year ago I found this Hobo Bag by J Caroline Creative (the pattern is HERE.)

It is a simple, DARLING pattern!

I even added a super secret zipper pocket ;)

(a little Shore Thing peek-a-boo)

I will be making this bag again!

Cherry Cherry Picnic is FinisheD!

I finished this quilt Saturday night about 11:30pm.  On Sunday I gave the quilt to my mom for Easter.  She LOVED it.  I was so happy she liked it.  Here are the pics :)  These were taken Sunday morning as the sun was rising.  Isn't spring AWESOME for picture taking?

The back of the quilt.  It's hard to see the quilting.

 Post washing pics.

Here are some super cool pictures from Texas of the Dresden Plate messenger bag-

...and finally some pictures of my nephew with Star's of the Barnyard...

I'm so glad he liked it :)

I am linking this post up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict WHOOP WhOOP!!

Easter Morning Success :)

The Easter Bunny came by and dropped off a good ol' stash of loot ;)

About 6:30 the kiddos started to to wake up and brought their gifts in to show the sleeping parents....

She has to close her eyes as to not have them burned out by DH's morning breath ;D

The Easter Bunny even left my husband a haul from World Market...

The Easter Bunny also left some eggs....

...and a few more...

Here are the mug shots of the kids with their bags...

Next came breakfast....

Oh wait, here is the REAL breakfast ;)  ...although I did have a few Peeps for breakfast...

I was SUPER lazy and used the paper plates left over from last night BBQ.  Not doing dishes was my gift to myself for Easter :D
Happy Easter!!! xo

Oh, yeah, I forgot to add the pics of the quilt I took this morning as the sun was rising :)
