Dress My Temporary Nest

In my crazy attempts to make this boring-ly decorated apartment more like home, I have completed a few projects. First the doily pillow, found the idea in blogland and I used fabric Mom gave me. The ruffle is made out of Alexander Henry's bird fabric and I love it soooo much because Maizie's winter hat is the purple version.

Secondly, I finished this quilt in two days with one Moda JellyRoll! I made it a lap-size width but longer in length so James can use it! I am sooooo in love with the fabric colors and quality is fantastic! I spent over an hour working on hand-sewing the binding and only sewed a few feet. So this is my TV project for the next few nights!

Finally, here is a simple side dish I made last night with Wheat Berries (a grain with 7 grams of protein per 1/4 cup):

1/4 cup wheat berries, prepared like package instructions
2 cups of frozen peas, thawed
1 cup parsley, chopped
1 cup turkey bacon, diced
salt & pepper to taste

ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a jelly roll too and LOVE moda fabric. Haven't found any around here tho! So cute and can't wait for a picture of you all cuddled under it. Is this your 'family' quilt?

You are so talented! I used to love to sew, but it's been years since I have done any. Now that my new job is to be a stay at home momma, I have been trying to find little projects to help me not become stir crazy. You have inspired me. If you can find time to do crafting with two kids, surely I could.
