Three's {Great!} Company: Road Trippin'

I am trying blogging on the go via some phone apps {I am loving the Retro Camera app on my phone!}...The little man is catching a nap and the hubby and I are remembering our honeymooning cruise days...We love having our son around but are looking forward to him enjoying the preschool program on board, too. Woohooo! {This is his 2nd cruise so he is a salty dog at age three...a true son of a son of a sailor!}

Family time + mommy-daddy alone time= sounds like a little slice of perfect!

I have 3 memory cards empty for picture taking but the WiFi on board requires a small mortgage payment to use so I ain't promising too much in the play-by-play updates. I will be spending that money on umbrella drinks!

{If you add a wild three year old to this picture and take away the cig and the boutonnieres, that will be the hubby and I next week!}

I will be back next week after we spend a week on the Freedom of the Seas and watching one of the very last shuttle launches. June will be back all relaxed and ready to get back to work next week...

Modern mini quilt and Mac and Cheese

Mini quilts are my new obsession.

Think about it:

• finish a quilt in a reasonable amount of time-check!
• Try a new technique on a small scale-check!
• Have a piece of art that has a many uses around the house-double check!

I love making little quilts into individualized placemats, toy-spot placers {i.e. fabric parking lots for Match Box cars!}, and oversized trivets. My newest creation is this sweet {and beyond easy} mini place mat that is also lined with insulated batting so it also doubles as a large potholder.

{Seriously-how are the large lasagna-sized pans supposed to fit on a fit square pot holder?}

My little man calls it his "birthday" snack mat {because I made him fabric bunting for his birthday} and it is perfect for a little bowl of his favorite mac and cheese for lunch.

I based the idea of the fabric bunting on Cheryl at A Pretty Cool Life's rainbow bunting quilt.

The 1.5 pt Pyrex mixing bowls are perfect for hearty stews, pastas and snacky treats...and turquoise is my favorite color...

He gives it the cheesy grin of approval!
