for a darling baby

I sewed this little romper up last weekend. Joanns was selling simplicity patterns for a buck so I, of course, had to buy some. During the sales I really try to stock up since they are normally between $10-$14. Crazy, right? For the romper I used simplicity pattern 1813 along with some super soft voile. Which I think will be perfect for hot summer days. I can't wait to see baby girl in it. She's going to look like an absolute doll. Have you been sewing lately?

tea

Today we celebrated Mother's Day with tea at the house. My mama loves throwing teas, something my sister and I have truly embraced as we like to have tea parties of our own too. My aunts and grandparents came over and we enjoyed afternoon tea with scones, an assortment of sandwiches, fruit salad and cookies. It's always nice getting to take out the pretty teapots, teacups and saucers!





Happy Mother's Day!

another sunny day

Seattle Snippets

Hi friends! I'll be in Seattle for a few days so that means these next few posts will be pretty photo heavy. I hope you all don't mind. Today we ventured all around capitiol hill. The weather was dreamy. Not a cloud in the sky. I know this isn't typical Seattle weather. Goodness it sure is nice.

The flowers below are some of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. SO MANY TULIPS. That Washington rain sure does them good. I just had to buy some. I can't imagine having flowers like this available to me all the time. They were extremely affordable too. Pretty large assorted bouquets started at 5 dollars. Such a steal.









Today was a good day.

a couple of cakes

one for a bridal celebration

another for a friend before he leaves to Italy

It's nice spending time in the kitchen again. I don't bake nearly as much as I used to. What should I bake next?
Happy Friday

daydreaming

These days I can't stop daydreaming about this pretty place.
My heart longs to visit again. This time i'd like to stay a bit longer. Perhaps a year... Who knows if that will ever happen. A girl can dream right.

Missing my sweet friends terribly.

Spring Wedding

Below are some photos from the lovely wedding I attended last night. The weather was perfect for an outdoor celebration. We had such a great time. Beautiful venue, cake, and couple!









Can we just talk about the pictures below. Be still my heart. Newborn babies are the sweetest. I could hold her all day. Perfectly precious she is.
