The Steiner book really inspired me, lots of projects I want to try out, so consider yourself warned! Now I just need to choose my next book…

Today – I want to finish piecing my D9P quilt, bake a cake & do a couple of little projects out of the Steiner book with the boys. Reading Car’s latest post has inspired me,a dn I’m going to pack as much into today as I can! I also need to figure out something to make for our neice (3 months) for easter – maybe a dolls quilt? I want to make a start on that too!

It’s raining, so it’ll be an inside kind of day, perfect for lots of crafting, dancing, baking, reading, singing & relaxing. Let’s do this!
