Hexagon Quilt

I finished a quilt for my daughter! It took a few years:) I started collecting vintage linens in pinks and yellows until I had a nice stack..

I was inspired by this hexagon quilt...

...which is in this book. 

Here's my quilt!

It turned out to be a nice queen size, about 80x90 inches.

 

My mom, sister, and friends helped me hand quilt this quilt. We double-quilted all the seams and I love the way that turned out. Now it's looking pretty on my daughter's bed!

Dickies Work Wear

I've ordered online from Dickies.ca more than once. Here are the links if you want to buy farm work wear for the family without dragging everyone to town. I'm signed up for emails from Dickies.ca and I get an email about once a week. These shop coveralls are a great price. Shipping is free when you spend $75.

A month ago they had a sale where these kids insulated bib overalls were $18 with one of their emailed coupons.

Beautiful Printable from Ann Voskamp

I just had to share this gorgeous printable page from Ann Voskamp. I love it.

On Pinterest

pretty things on Pinterest

I see on my screen

beauty, fresh and lovely

all neat and clean

dream houses and décor

food, ideas, art

you could click forever

each time you start

I look at our mess

scattered over the floor

grace is here somewhere

I just have to dig 
a bit more

find the joy in the clutter
and try not to mutter

of chaos, and going insane

even a house full of love
is still not a house without pain

mine is broken beauty

not the Pinterest style

colours clash, ideas crash

after a while

living is imperfect

grace in the strife

Pinterest is there,

it won’t go anywhere
but I have to believe

I do have a beautiful life!

just a minute I'll take to pin it
something pretty and new

then I’m off to play games

with Thing 1 and Thing 2…
