a patchwork quilt by red pepper quilts

i really mean it about that quilt....i love it!!! in fact i dreamt about it after i saw it in the works a few days ago...i could not get it out of my mind. so gorgeous. this weekend i hope to get some batting to get my own quilt done. it's been on the wall on hold because i thought i had enough to make the quilt but it turns out i tricked myself..lol. so i have to pick up batting and thread this weekend to get going on mackenzie's quilt...especially if i want to give it to her for her bday this april.

i also plan on keeping on fighting this wannabe cold. i refuse to let it stop me but it has slowed me down a tad. so i'm going to curl up here and there and read a good book or catch up on some knitting time. i've got my classic raglan to finish up, a sweater for mackenzie for her bday to do, and many other projects on the needles...aiayaya...i think i may have cast on more than i could chew..lol. i've also got a date with my sewing machine sometime too. will probably be tonight so wish me luck sewing into the late night hours. i always mess up at night so it scares me to sew at night now but we've got a full, busy day on saturday so this momma doesn't get any work time :(

and bring on the coffee....yep, the sun has peeked it's head out here and there and i feel ready to give a few of those fun coffee recipes that floated around last summer a go. mmmm....i love iced coffee. sometimes i just throw ice in my cool coffee at lunch and sip at that. yum. i'll take coffee anyway i can get it. funny thing is that when i was in my early 20's i really didn't like coffee and then bam...one day addicted. that's how it goes with caffeine folks..lol.

so what projects are you guys working on? what are you up to this weekend? anyone have a fave coffee recipe they tried & want to share? let's chat! wishing you all a warm, sunny, happy, cozy, fun & yummy coffee filled weekend!
