Quilt Topper

Image
I wasn't happy with the white bedspread in the Grandchildren's Room, but I didn't really know what I wanted. I'm so glad I waited. Yesterday, I found a quilt top at a local Antique Store. It looks perfect on the bed and I'm sure will provide hours of alphabet "lessons". I can just picture a sweet little lady somewhere lovingly embroidering each picture's letter. A is for Apple B is for Ball C is for Camel (not sure why some of the pictures came out sideways) D is for Duck E is for Elephant F is for Frog G is for Goose H is for Hen I is for Ice Cream J is for Jack in the Box K is for Kangaroo L is for Lamb M is for Mouse N is for Needle O is for Owl P is for Penguin Q is for Quill R is for Rabbit S is for Squirrel T is for Turkey U is for Umbrella V is for Vegetables W is for Windmill and then there are X, Y, and

Our trip to Woodland Park got cut short by a snow storm. Can

 Yes, I am going backwards in time as I catch up. Please bear with me. The table was set and all ready for the Valentine's Party with 3 very special little boys plus an added guest. The cute blue bags were for the boys to take  home their goodies in. Loved these little vintage looking plates.  I think they came from Hobby Lobby. The cereal boxes were a Pinterest find and they were a big hit. What would a Valentine's Party be without conversation hearts?

He likes to keep an eye on David. Sweetie was in town and she made heart hats for the boys. Aaron think he is very handsome. David's heart hat. Let's check out how we look. Making a collage. Craft time was fun. Look at my collage. I made a heart
