Conor and the girls!
OK...remember my quilt I did a few posts back? Here is cute little Conor who I made the quilt for, and my darlings all rolling around in my scrap stash which is barely able to fit in that large basket there behind Aine! One of these days I'll organize them into useable sizes, but for now I kinda just dive into the basket to get fabrics I want! I've pulled out novelties and hand dyes...those are separated, but most other fabrics are happily living side by side for the moment.
I am working on a scrappy 4 patch swap at the moment, nice and simple, but am working up to starting on the alphabet sampler quilt I want to do for Aisling (ashling) my youngest there lying in the scraps, for her 2nd birthday in June...
I am watching Conor and his 14 month old sister Holly from 9am-6pm today along with my kids! Tis only fair, as his mom and dad were the ones that took my kids a few weeks back when I had my dire food poisoning and slept all through the day that Friday! Luckily DH is home at weekends. He's taken the older kids off for a trip to the soft play place down the road (which in Irish terms is about 40 minutes away, LOL!!) I've got the babies and can hear them playing with plastic cups and plates in kitchen...they were across the hall in the bedroom...guess I better go check them out!!

Looks like they're having great fun!
My husband was away all week like that when my two were little. I't hard - you're in my thoughts.
Sounds like you had your hands full! Your girls are very cute.

Hi Cathi, sending WI greeting your way..*VBS* Nice to find your pretty picture and comment over at Pieces..*S*
I've only glanced at your pics tonight, as my eyes are quite tired. So happy to meet you here in blogland.
You are right, there are about a million Smiths in WI, I suspect..*S* I don't know of any from my branch in Darlington, I was raised in Chippewa Falls. My Smith grandparents are from both that area and up around Hayward. Lots of logging types back then.
Your fabric looks like fun there on the floor, and what beautiful children you have. I love the swap 9 patches you are playing with..it is a good stress reliever.
I'll be back to read more when my eyes aren't so tired..Hugs, Finn
how fun to let the children roll in the scraps!
