Miss Lovie: My Favorite Things Thursday and the Countdown!

Welcome to My Favorite Things Thursday!!

Last week I announced I am (mostly) done with grad school, and this week, I'm so hyped to say that we only have 16 school days left of this year!! I could not be more excited. While I love my kinder babies always, this group of students has been especially challenging and I am beyond ready for a nice long break (that must and will include lots of pool time where I can read lots of great books). I will miss them though. Today I was called "Mom" twice, I laughed really hard at a student pretending to share his snack with our stuffed animals we have in the room, and another student told me he liked my singing voice after we got finished practicing our kinder graduation song. Sweetness. The end of the year will be bittersweet as always, but I'm still REALLY excited!

Enjoy my favorite finds around blog land from this week!

Pow Wow Quilt and Pattern by Allison at Cluck Cluck Sew

Are you swooning as hard as I am over that quilt? I don't love all quilts, but holy moly, Allison is amazing. Her quilts are always incredible. The colors in this quilt are perfect. If you quilt, she has a pattern for this quilt on her blog! I want to learn.

Hello Luscious Zig Zag Quilt by Ashley at Mommy by Day Crafter by Night

After I said I don't love all quilts, here's another quilt I really do love. Ashley is so talented. Of course she makes beautiful quilts! She announced that she will be doing a Quilt Along during the month of June...Wonder if I could still join if I have no clue what I'm doing?! Such a pretty quilt and she made it for her sister as a gift. Sweet. Go check it out.

Knock-Off Striped Skirt by Lindsay at Southern Lovely

Ok, so it's official. I need to make one of these skirts pronto. I just love them. I've seen a few tutorials around. They're probably all pinned to my Women's Sewing Projects board. I love the purple in Lindsay's. So cute and flattering!

Urban Duck Hoodie by Laura, Emma and Emma at Craftstorming

Cutest ever. You have to click over and see the rest of these pictures. The duck buttons are so cute and I always love those urban-style hoodies on kids.

Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake by Baking With Blondie

To die for. I'm pretty sure that's what I wrote in the caption when I pinned this. I really want to make this soon. It sounds yummy and it's so pretty, too!!

Coconut Mini Carrot Cakes by Back For Seconds

Coconut and carrot cake?! Mmmmm. And they're mini! Cute! I want to them all.

Chalkboard Chargers by Daune at Cottage in the Oaks

How great is this idea?! Daune spray painted the chargers with chalkboard paint and then personalized them for her guests! Great idea! Go check them out!

Love You To Pieces Mothers' Day Card by Miss Morgan at Brilliant Beginnings Preschool Utah

So I always try to come up with cute ideas for my kids at school to do for their moms and I think this might be it this year. Love these cards. I love making torn paper crafts anyway (they're easy to manage and prepare for and they're great for developing fine motor skills!) My kids will love them, too because they're folded accordion style.
