Wylde Woman

Thank you to Melissa at WhatKnot! She has gracefully bestowed the Wylde Woman Award to me.
Isn't it beautiful? The artist that started the award (recently) painted this beautiful piece to pass around to those who inspire us.

"Purpose of the Award: To send love and acknowledgment to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy."

I would like to send this award to Jacquie. You have a way of bringing a smile to my face, and spark my creativity often, with your posts and comments here - Thank you!

A Sunday Finish on Monday

My day is finally winding down - I still don't feel like we are in our school routine yet. Hopefully this week will prove me wrong :)

I finished this little beauty yesterday and it made it through the wash today. I know that I've said it before. . . but I love the puckery goodness as it comes from the wash. It measures 32x34 inches, I found that these little quilts are great for privacy while nursing too. They don't collapse on the baby's face.


Here's the back - the entire quilt is scraps, so it's just extra bits sewn together.

I am ready to get started on my cancer quilt - I really need to whip it up!
Have a good night ~

PS - I almost forgot that I received another award! Sherri gave me this sweet award the other day and I would love to pass it on to anyone that has left a comment recently!Thanks Sherri! Leave a comment if you post it on your blog - I want to check it out :)

I'm Truly Honored!

Well Marrdy just made my Friday! I was already having a good day too :) It's quite a bit cooler out and no rain this week, so we packed up and spent an hour or so at the park. Everyone is happy and tuckered out! But Marrdy a fellow Utah blogger has given me this award! This is my first :) I'm so glad that you enjoy reading Marrdy and I hope you do give quilting a try - I really enjoy it!
Oh! and as Marrdy is local she's picked up on my name, Park City is actually just up the hill from where we live. I started using the name parkcitygirl as a sign in and it has stuck! We are up there all the time and feel more connected up there with friends and family, but being a resort town, it's way too expensive to live up there for us :)
As a recipient of this Bloggy Award, I'm required to do the following:

1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
2. Link to the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs for the award.
4. Put links to those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the people you have nominated.

So on to the nominations! All friends via blogland, but some I know in "real life" too! All are inspiring in different ways - these are my first reads in bloglines :)

1 - Jaimie is the author of "The Wonder Years"

2 - Katie at " Musings of a Mamma of Many"

3 - Corrina of "No Crying Over Spilled Milk"

4 - Melissa over at "Whatknot"

5 - Dana is in charge at the "Old Red Barn Co."

6 - Beki is the "artsy-crafty babe"

7 - Tipper always has a history lesson at "Blind Pig & The Acorn"

It is so amazing to me how much you can learn from friends online! Each of these ladies has been an encouragement to me, either in my relationships, with my kids, or inspiring me to keep on sewing and trying something new! If you haven't seen these blogs yet or lately go check them out! They are all Brilliant :)

Have a good weekend!
