A day at the pumpkin patch!

We went to a local pumpkin patch on Saturday - Larriland.  My little peanut loved it! 

First thing we did was go on a hayride!



My friend Coleen made a pumpkin hat for the girl.  She didn't keep it on long, but I managed to get a few pictures of her modeling it!



Her favorite part of the ride was covering herself (and us) in hay!



There were tons of pumpkins everywhere!  I had to add my own little pumpkin girl to the mix:



We ran into some friends there too! 



She loved the giant pumpkins!



But we couldn't just pick a pumpkin from the bins - of course we had to go to the fields and get our own!



There were acres and acres of pumpkins!













She even got to pick her very own pumpkin!



It was a great day!

Quilted coasters

A dear friend of mine turned 40 this past week and I wanted to make her something special.  Unfortunately when you have a busy toddler - making something special can be a bit of a timing issue. 

So I went for quick and pretty!  I hope she thinks they are special :)



I was inspired by these pretty green coasters from Homemade Ginger.

My friend loves Asian inspired fabrics - so I chose this lovely Alexander Henry fabric from the stash.

The tutorial was easy to follow and they came out great!



One of my favorites is the one with this white crane:



 I also love the one with the geisha girl:



 All they needed was a little bow and they were perfect for my friend.



 I think I will be making more for Christmas gifts!
