Happy Valentine's Day!

I thought I would share these beautiful roses with all of you.  My husband was *sweet* enough to COMPLETELY surprise me with them today when Fedex rang the door. I thought to myself, "What could this be?  Did my mom send me flowers?"  LOL...  Nope.  It was Brandon who knew I would never expect this.  I love the thought that he put into them even more than the actual flowers. 

 They are stunning in person - gorgeous colors.  I hope they brighten your day :)

Valentine's Day Fleece Pullover

Since my serger is still out of commission and in need of a visit to the shop, I decided to sew with snuggly  fleece this weekend.  I had a large piece of pink Valentine's day fleece that was just taking up room in my studio.  My daughter has a blanket made out of the very same fabric, and she LOVES it.  I figured I'd make a size 3 pullover.  That way she would be able to use it this year and probably next year, too.  The pattern I chose is Burda 9771, and it went together without a hitch.  Sewing with fleece is so easy, sort of like baking with a cake mix...but I still miss my serger.  Wah!
