- [Studio Update](https://carinagardner.com/studio-update/) - I've been slowly adding things to my studio, moving things around, and generally dealing with the space.

- [Studio Renovation Continued](https://carinagardner.com/studio-renovation-continued/) - The shelves are up, and I finally have my second Low-Boy Farmhouse Dresser. Josh had to drive to St. George to pick it up (a very nice guy, isn't he?). I still have a mile to go with support shelving and, well, the other 3 walls of the room. So here's a question—I have an

It keeps track of the

- [Love Nest Flag Quilt - Free Download](https://carinagardner.com/love-nest-flag-quilt-free-download/) - After a weekend of quilting, I finally have the Love Nest™ Flag Quilt instructions for you! It's a such a beautiful quilt (if I do say so myself) and the flags make it fun and modern. I'll be making a second one this weekend (both girls want one). In fact, Siri liked it so much
- [A New Headband](https://carinagardner.com/a-new-headband/) - Unfortunately, this photo doesn't do it justice (That's what you get when you are trying to take a quick snapshot at night using a mirror!), but I wanted to show you this adorable headband. It is seriously sweet, and I won it at a church auction from one of my dear neighbors Brittany Moffet. Other
- [Green eggs](https://carinagardner.com/green-eggs/) - The St. Patrick's Day leprechaun brought us a very green breakfast this morning...green milk, green eggs, green pancakes, and um, brown bacon (I guess I blew it on that one). The kids were unconcerned that the bacon wasn't green (wheww!) and thrilled with the green breakfast, the green pins I let them wear, green flowers
- [Emily-happy](https://carinagardner.com/emily-happy/) - That's right—I'm obsessed with the TV show The Bachelor. I held my usual Bachelor finale party (food and anticipation in tow), and was a happy camper tonight when Brad picked Emily. Yes, you can write SUCKER on my forehead...a sucker for reality TV. Anybody want my party leftovers?
- [Playdate Outfit Sewing Pattern](https://carinagardner.com/playdate-outfit-sewing-pattern/) - While my passion is dresses, I absolutely adore a great little shirt and capri. The Playdate Outfit comes in sizes extra small to extra large (covering 2T, 3T, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ) and includes pattern sizing for a dress, blouse, capri, and shorts. It's by far my most versatile pattern. I'll admit I
- [Introducing My New Children's Sewing Pattern Line!](https://carinagardner.com/introducing-my-new-childrens-sewing-pattern-line/) - Yes! It's finally here! Everyday this week I will be unveiling one of my new sewing patterns! I can hardly contain my excitement about this new line! I started thinking about this project over a year ago and to finally see it come into fruition...well, it's a bit overwelming. What's my philosophy about children's clothing?
- [Highland Park Arts Night](https://carinagardner.com/highland-park-arts-night/) - I've been meaning to post these photos for a week now!

This quilt will be up for Silent Auction at Highland Park's Art's Night on April 8th. It
- [The Oscars](https://carinagardner.com/the-oscars/) - This is probably the first time I have been excited to watch the Oscars. That's partially because Anne Hathaway is hosting and because I'll be rooting for The King's Speech. It's a beautiful film. It's probably the most beautiful film I've seen in a long time. Josh will be rooting for it too. So there
- [Quilting With Kids](https://carinagardner.com/quilting-with-kids/) - Tuesday, I spent the afternoon in Siri's first-grade class making a quilt with the students for the Arts Night Fundraiser.

We looked for patterns and shapes (parallelogram, anyone?).
- [Valentine's Day](https://carinagardner.com/valentines-day/) - Just dropping in for a second to report our very, merry Valentine's Day.

I think Flissa tried every sucker and opened all of the Fun Dip a child could eat
- [And Here I am](https://carinagardner.com/and-here-i-am/) - And here I am on a Friday night, aimlessly clicking on blogs—blogs of people I heart, designers, artists, and so on...caught in that maddening cycle (that somehow always involves several visits to Facebook and Twitter) of being too tired to leave my computer but not tired enough to stop the endless, nonsensical journey through the
