My Favorite Flower is

 A simple question, "What is your favorite flower?" used to always have a simple answer, "Oh I really love Peonies! Sunflowers and Marigolds too! Anything whimsically fluffy and happy"... And that was that. 
Now as a Mother that question is more complex...
It is every clover
Dandelion 
Violet
Spring beauty
That tiny hands lovingly pick, smell and go 
"Oh MAMA! Did you smell this one? It's just like summer sunshine!"
"I think it should go in a vase!"
My favorite flower is you.
My Sweet Pea Hazel Bea
For every sunkissed moment, every flower you adore, the way your eyes see the beauty in the world.
THAT is my favorite bouquet, and WOW am I so lucky to watch you bloom <3
Thank you for sharing your world with me, my sweet flower
Always,
Amelia

Maverick and Annie celebrated their first birthday together and have been soaking up all the summer playtime fun as the doodle duet they are!
It is the dog days of summer after all!

Dashing Dapper Kipper

 Kipper was ready for a new collar and with much input from Hazel, we picked out the most dashing and dapper of collars for one very good boy
Ready to show off your new collar Kipper?
"Can you see my bowtie?!?"
"I feel so fancy!!!"
"I am dashing!"
"Did I mention it has a bowtie? Oh I did?? Well would you like a closer look?"
"Oh thank you thank you thank you! I LOVE IT"
"I didn't know I would love to be so dapper!!"
OHH Kipper you big ole ham sandwich!!
Kipper continued to parade himself about the yard like he was on the promenade with a Bridgerton!
Sometimes you just need a new 'Outfit' to feel your best!
Just ask the most handsome of Havanese boys!
Always,
Amelia

Doubled in Size - Double the Fun!

I received another wonderful Monday PUPdate from Henry Bennett!
This double doodle cutie got an excellent check at the vet's office and is now double the size at 18lbs from when he went home. With only a quick pesky pinch to the butt for his next set of shots, Henry was a superstar! He and big sister Julie have been busy playing, making friends with the neighbor dogs, going for long walks, and celebrating big birthdays with family. His family says Henry is the happiest puppy there ever was!
Look at those tall big boy legs!!
Henry Bennett is growing beautifully <3 
He is always by his Mama's side
Bringing endless joy to his family 
And everyone he meets
He is always ready to play
And pounce with his sister all day!!
Thank you for the wonderful Monday PUPdate Henry!!!
<3 
Always,
Amelia

A Rose Quilt for A Rose

 The Y Acres Studio received an order for a baby quilt with a rush deadline. The mama is already at the hospital awaiting the birth of her baby girl so we had to get started right away! 
I sent the client a few design ideas
This one is called "Sleep Tight"
This is Sleep Tight with extra pink
An old fashioned pink floral theme
And finally the Abby Rose collection.
Abby Rose won by a landslide! Especially since the baby is going to be named Rose.  It is a perfect fit!!!!!
Better get busy
and get the squares cut for this quilt!
Y Acres Studio will be working over time this week!!!
Happy Rose Sunday from Y Acres Studio

These Feet Were Made for Walking

 Thatcher has been growing in leaps and bounds! He went from standing on his own to immediately walking, running, and climbing. The way I have been baby proofing this house on a daily basis... 
I am sweating to see what he comes up with next! 
With all his gross motor movement development, I finally got him into a pair of sturdy shoes made for toddling. LOOK OUT WORLD! Here comes Thatcher!
So with shoes on and his trusty snack cup, 
Thatcher was released into the wild
Come on doggies! Follow me
And if you can't keep up, just follow the trail of cheerios
Hmmm, let's go that way
Oh yes, good choice
To the swing!!!
Wait!!! Wait for me Thatcher!!!
Gotta Go!
Out the door dinosaur!!!
These feet were made for walking <3
Always,
Amelia
