Happy Mother's Day

To all the "Moms" out in blogland....

Have a great day!!

Happy Mother's Day

A few days early but I would like to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day!  Hope you all enjoy the day!

Amelia and I will be going to my Mom's for a little while on Sunday.  To be selfish, I REALLY don't feel like going.  How bad is that??  I really want to stay home and enjoy my own Mother's Day.  But my Mom laid on a good guilt trip so now the two of us will go and see her for a few hours.  I told my brother I would be there so he's going to come over at the same time.  I haven't seen him since Easter so it will be good to catch up with him.  I was hoping my mom would come to my house for the day but she's not budging so I'll be the good daughter and go there.  Sigh.  So much for sleeping in on Sunday!

I'm making good progress on my potholders for the third swap.  I will post pictures soon.  And I have a pillowcase to stitch together tomorrow and send it off to Jackie.  I wanted to send two.  I have one done and the second one just waiting for me to get going on it.  I am the worst procastinator ever!  :)

Happy Friday!

New Hampshire Weekend - Part One

The three of us went to New Hampshire for a nice Mother's Day weekend. Amelia played hooky from preschool so that we could get on the road first thing Friday morning. We had a nice time. We stayed at my in-laws vacation house so that helped with expenses. Since we had a kitchen we, I mean my husband, could do some cooking there instead of eating out all weekend. I said I was doing no cooking this weekend. And I lied. I ended up cooking dinner on Friday night.

Friday, on the way up, we stopped at Keepsake Quilting and I did a little shopping. If you've never been there, it's a great place to visit. Can be overwhelming unless you go there with a plan. I bought some pink, orange and yellow fabric for a quilt that I have in mind for myself. And now that I look at the fabric at home, I need more pinks and a little more white. Good thing my LQS is having their anniversary sale this coming weekend. I will be hitting that on Friday - if I can sneak away from my work computer for an hour or so.

Here's a few pictures of what I picked up there. I have no pictures of the inside (not allowed) and I would have taken a picture of the building but it was raining...

Speaking of rain, we had a decent amount of it while visiting. Only really nice weather we had was Friday late afternoon/evening and Saturday morning. Then the clouds rolled in. Amelia spent a fair amount of time just digging in the dirt and climbing on "her"rock. She also went exploring with some binoculars.

We worked on her Mother's Day gifts for the grandmas too. She made them each a garden stone with her hand print. We've already gave one away. It was well received. We'll give my mom hers next weekend when we see her. I need to have her make one for me.

Okay, I've have more pictures to show you but I think I'll continue tomorrow.
