Is Spring really here??





This past weekend I was at my cousin's daughter's wedding celebration. She is an inspiring young woman, who has worked hard in her life. She is almost finished nurses training, and I am so proud of her!  I don't know how she managed to plan her wedding and study for final exams, but she did. She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside!



This is where she had her photos taken - at my cousin's barn! Not exactly a traditional setting for wedding photos, but she married a farmer, so it was the perfect setting for them.




Here is the happy couple! I only took a couple of photos because I had to get myself inside... it was really cold! They have newlywed love to keep them warm I guess ;)




In between travelling and visiting with relatives, I got quite a bit of hand stitching done on my "Always Home" quilt.  I finished the top two blocks and started quilting the borders around the top. And I left my hoop there... ugh! What is a quilter to do? I'll just have to go "hoopless"!



Guess who I saw??

I saw my first robin for 2015. Looks like we all survived another great Canadian winter!

  1. Great wedding photos, looks perfect for them. I hate the formal shots that never say anything about the couple. This looks like a very special pair. Congrats. Your quilt is looking terrific too!

  4. Great wedding photos! A barn setting is perfect if she is marrying a farmer.

    I hope the robin is indicative that spring has arrived.
