wednesday is my favorite <3

Wowza friends. Thank you so much for commenting in my last post!! The last time that I looked, there were 50 comments!! Can you imagine how amazing it would be to have even close to that many comments on every post? I would be the happiest little blogger ever!!!
* Today I was feeling kind of yucky so I took a nap when I got home and accidently slept until 9:30. Yikes! So, now I am wired, this post is going to be a little random so bare with me loves :)
* Ok, this morning before work, I finished the quilt top for my give-a-way quilt. I am in love with it so far and I hope that Crissy likes it too!!



* Here are some more lovely lovely quilt squares that I have received in the past couple of days!! :
Big thanks to Corinne:

to Erika:

to Caitlin:

to Brenna:

and to Angela:

* Now, along with Angela's quilt square came the world's greatest package full of all kinds of goodies!! Vintage paper, an owl mug, teacher goodies, two granny squares (that I hung on my Inspiration Board so that I will be inspired to not give-up on trying to make one of my own :D)

and my very own Granny Square afghan!!

I love love love it. I have it right on my couch so I can pull it down and snuggle with it on these soon-to-be cool autumn nights:D Thank you thank you thank you Angela for being so lovely and kind!
* I baked cookies tonight for Adam to come home to:

* I am obsessed with these two-bite pumpkin pies.

Like obsessed! Like they are the cause of my extra long nap I think.....too much sugar!! But soooo worth it too :)
* Last night I made a long, felt, leaf, autumn-inspired garland to hang from my light about our kitchen table :)

inspired by the one in Elsie's photo.
Alright, hopefully in all of that randomness, you have found something to comment on :D Have a great rest of your night.
I love love lovie you <3

  11. Wonderful quilt top! I have one I've been meaning to work on forever now, this has inspired me to get started! And I agree, I can't wait for those cool fall nights that require blankets either!

  13. Bee-yoo-tee-full quilt top, Janel! I can't believe that you just started quilting recently!

    I was wondering what fabric you used in the quilt. I am really thinking about making one with a similar color scheme, and I really like a lot of the fabrics that you used. Also, how much fabric did you need for it? I want to do something simple with maybe a larger squares...

    Have a great day!

    Love,
    Jess

  20. The quilt looks great!

  21. The quilt is absolutely beautiful! It's funny that you took an extra long nap yesterday as I did the same thing (accidently) on Tuesday night. I think it's a teacher thing. Having to be so patient starting the new year REALLY wears me out!

    (I have a top secret pumpkin torte recipe to die for if you are interested. :)

  22. the quilt top is so pretty--what a great job! love all the squares that you're getting as well (good job guys!).

    I don't like pumpkin pie, but those two-bite ones still look so sweet.

    the garland is really pretty as well.

    love you. love the blog.

    naps rule.

  25. ooh granny square afgans are my favorite! I have one on my couch from my great-grandma from a loooong time ago. I am loving reading early in the morning with my coffee and granny square blanket in this cool weather... *sigh* - happiness :)
