Bring it On!

Bring on the Purples!

 Bring on the Whites!

Bring on the Pinks!

And the multi-colored delights!!:)

 An early Mother's Day gift from my boy and his girl! Love it!

 The veggie garden is growing...

...as is fuel for the fire pit.  

Yes, it needs some trimming.

But right now we have been challenged...by my pal Jo in England!

She said pick a pink, a green and a yellow....toss in a background color.

Half square triangles they will become...

 But which....

 ....layout....

...will be The One?

Ha! None of the above...I'm still playing!

 Also playing with applique the...

Jen Kingwell way!  

Ten blocks are done with another ten cut out awaiting needle and thread. 

Swore I wasn't going to start a new project(s)!!

Oh well!!

Thank you Miss Mustard Seed AND Pine Cone Hill!!!!

 I don't enter every giveaway I see and frankly even if I love an item the odds are never in my favor.  Because I loved the look on Miss Mustard Seed's post about a gorgeous set of linens from
  Pine Cone Hill celebrating their 20th anniversary I thought what the heck. There were a gazillion ways to enter but because I don't do Facebook, Pinterest nor Twitter I could only enter old school...leave a comment then forget about the whole thing. I did...forget.

Over a month an a half later I get an email from Abby Wood, Junior Copywriter at

Annie Selke Companies saying I won and what size bedding and shams would I like.  WHAT?  Are you kidding me?  Being the cynic that I am I googled Abby....she is for real.

Winning was for real too!!!

 One week later this box arrived...at our neighbor's house.  Their wonderful son hauled it over then called to let us know it was outside. This is one huge and heavy box!

 Gleefully cutting the tape first thing that pops out is the pillow...oh my heavens!

Yep...one pillow, two sets of shams, one set of queen sheets, one queen dust ruffle and TWO queen sized quilts!!! Over $1600 worth of linens. I don't think in our 29 years of marriage we have spent that much on all our linens!  I love, love, love that golden yellow...and for sure the white one as we have something similar already on the bed in dove grey!

 Won't they go great with my Hexy MF tossed on the bed or a nearby chair?:)

I think YES!!

Thank you Miss Mustard Seed for hosting the giveaway and thanks so much Pine Cone Hill for the amazing linens and Abby for all the sweet correspondence...sorry I thought you weren't real!:)

One day they will all be on our beautiful brass bed....but right now it's packed in the basement!

Don't you think we need to get that rug too?;)
