“Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. 
Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. 
It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings
and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.”


~K.O. Eckland, “Footprints On Clouds”

We’re having a glorious Easter weekend – the weather is incredible. Cracked open the boxes of flip flops and sundresses. Nothing can beat swinging away on a spring day …

If there was one talent I wish I had, it was sewing and quilting. Wouldn’t it be amazing to give your child or a loved one a beautiful quilt you’ve created by hand? Sadly, that is not in my cards (at least not for the next 15 years) … and that’s where Christine Taylor Quilts steps into the scene …!

{Applause please.}

 

A local business to Orangeville, I’m pleased to showcase her work here on the blog this week!

(This quilt is one of my favorites …)

 

 

This week, we’re giving away one beautiful, soft and comfy-cozy personalized hoody towel, handmade by Christine Taylor. This is a great gift for a niece or nephew or for your own little one … it sure will make bath time a lot more warm and fun!

To enter, just leave a comment here on the blog and that’s it! In the meantime, pop over and visit Christine Taylor’s facebook group and browse through her website.  

 

And now, some more little cuties …

Her full head of hair was a sight to be seen – so gorgeous! What a beauty…

Eat your Heart Out.

Your idea of bliss is to wake up on a Monday, knowing you haven’t a single engagement for the entire week.

You are cradled in a white paper cocoon tied up with typewriter ribbon.”

Okay, well, I don’t know what the second half of that quote means (unless it refers to a writer) … but the first half is great. 🙂 And hmm, it’s not 100% true, but mostly true. I’ve tried to scale down this week for a few personal reasons and also to catch up! I have lots of galleries that need posting. Hoping to get my pregnancy bum in gear this week and try to stay up as late as I want to stay up to get these galleries loaded. 

 

But today … during the day … the kids rule my world.

Today we baked sugar cookies for Easter and decorated them …
