little birdie quilt
It is finished! I’ve been working on a toddler quilt for my (not so) baby girl. I’m loving the bird/owl whimsical theme, so I’ve been doing little things here and there to update her room with it.

(on a side note, please remind me never to go to the gym at 8pm. apparently that is when the entire city of wentzville decides to go to the gym as well. i hate crowded gyms. its one of my biggest pet peeves) and back to me writing about procrastination! I have found the best ways to procrastinate. Of course, perusing crafty blogs is an amazing way to avoid homework. The problem I have with that is that I see things I want to…
