Modern Quilting... My secret obsession...that's not so secret

So for the past three years or so I have been utterly obsessed with modern quilting, and you will see a lot of that on this blog.  I just can't help it, I love to knit too, so I'm really like a young grandma.   However, most of the people I know into quilting and knitting, are my age.  So its a new generation of grandmas!

Check out my all time favorite quilting blog... Film in the Fridge.  Ashley does an amazing job putting together quilts, and I get a ton of inspiration from her!  Here are a few of my favorite quilts pieced by her.

I actually made one similar to this one above.  It was the first quilt that I ever started AND finished!  Unfortunately I should have allowed for a bigger seam allowance, since now its forming tiny holes(when I say tiny, I mean big) everywhere.   Oh well, its been well used!

Can't Wait Until Friday!

So tomorrow, after Max gets out of his studio that lasts way to long in my opinion, we are driving south to Grants Pass, OR.  To visit my bestest friend in the whole world, who also happens to be an ultrasound tech :)  She is going to do my 15 week ultrasound, and hopefully we'll be able to see if its a boy or not.  I know its still a little early, but I'm thinking if its a boy, we should be able to tell!   So just another 33 hours, and we get to see the little one!  Plus it's been to long since I've seen my bestie and her little man, who is already 13 months!!  I think she should have another baby ; )

12 Weeks!

I have made it to the end of my 12th week!  I'm very excited, I'm starting to get more energy, which is nice, and I can't complain... So far I haven't had any morning sickness or nausea.  So things could have been worse : )  My only real symptoms were exhaustion, and head aches for the last two weeks.  So I'm hoping that entering into my second trimester, the headaches and sleepiness wear off!

Max has been great, I keep sending him on random missions to the grocery store, last night I was dying for some pasta salad.  He went to the store, bought everything we needed, and then came home and made it for me at 10:00 at night.  What a trooper!  All while he works on finishing his architecture portfolio.

Welcome

My name is Bethany, welcome to my creative space!  I'm married to a most wonderful human being named Max, and we live in Eugene, OR.  I've found lately that I would like a creative outlet, so here is where I'm going to document it : )

A little about us... we are both 24 years young, and about to embark on a crazy new adventure I like to call, "the real world."  Max is graduating this summer with a bachelors in Architecture, and after that momentousness occasion happens, we will be moving to wherever the little lad can find a job.  Currently we are are looking at Portland, OR., Juneau, AK, and Redlands, CA.  I think at this point, I just don't care : )

We have been married for four years this June, and will have been together for almost 10, crazy how time goes racing by!  Also in addition to Max graduating and us uprooting from where I have lived my entire life, we have a little bundle of joy joining us in October!  So this year sure is one for memories...and ice cream, lots of ice cream...and green olives (Cravings, what can you do!?)

On this blog, you will find lots of random posts, things from quilting, to knitting, to cooking, to gardening, to rookie parenting!  I'm probably best described as a farm girl at heart (hence my two Scottish Highland cows, whom I love), and some one very excited to transition to being a stay at home mom(a mom! its still so weird to say)!  Thanks for stopping by!
