sink lights

Matt's latest home improvement project was to install some lights above our kitchen sink. I didn't take a real before picture, but here is one that will give you the idea.


He installed a switch to control the lights (and eventually the garbage disposal) as well as the lights themselves. Here is the after picture. There is a big difference in how much light is there!

a quilt for Caroline

I'm having trouble. I started a quilt top for Caroline back in the fall using the butterfly fabric that I had shown on here before. I didn't get to finish it because of being pregnant and then having Sara. Well, I finally got back around to it. The problem is that I don't know if I want it to be Caroline's quilt anymore. I have only finished the top, so now's the time to decide. Here are a couple pictures (not very good ones) of the quilt top.



The main reason that I'm rethinking things is because Caroline is so in love with purple. It just seems wrong to not have some purple in her room. I have tried to come up with a way to make purple go with the quilt top that I've already made, but I can't figure out anything that would work well. So, I'm thinking about making one that has some purple. Here are a couple ideas (I included the pink on so you can see more of what the first purple one looks like).




After giving it plenty of thought, I decided that maybe it would be good to not be stuck only on purple...in case she finds a new favorite color. So I thought that something rainbow like the ones below might be a better choice.




So what do all of you think? Help! I need some input here to help me figure things out.
