Cozy

Did you have a cozy weekend?  I'll confess, ours had some rough patches.  That flu was no easy beast to shake.  A week at Disney followed by a week of flu created an always-scrambling, never quite caught-up feeling that manifested in one cranky mama.  I finally shook that feeling yesterday, when I started a new quilt.  I really, really needed to do some fun sewing - creative therapy - after and during which I found grace to enjoy our Sunday together.  And enjoy my children.  And appreciate my husband.  I'm so thankful to feel better!

So, speaking of cozy, this is our new duvet cover.  Finally finished!  I was nearing the final stages when my friend Tammy, of Marmalade Fabrics, asked if she could borrow my Bottled Rainbows quilt for her booth at Quilt Con. Well, that sealed the deal!  I was really ready to replace our bed quilt anyways.  All that Bottled Rainbow energy has been fun, but it was time for something more fitting for the two of us - myself and Brandon.

We're both enjoying the peaceful simplicity of our new bed covering.  It looks so nice with the curtains too!  Now, the only thing I'd change is the flooring.  But, hey, that's not my department.
