Happy Mother's Day!


I hope you all had a great day! I know I did! My son brought me a beautiful arrangement in a tea pot! He said he knew that was 'the one' because I collect tea pots! He sure is sweet! My daughter came over today and brought me a kalanchoe in a cute little pink straw basket with leather (?) handles and two cards! What a sweetie pie! I'm going to have to learn how to take care of the kolanchoe since it can be planted outside. (A gardner I am not so any advice would be welcome.) We went to the mall to Motherhood to get her some summer clothes. Poor little thing is getting so round in the middle that she's having trouble with her wardrobe! She won't let me take a picture of her but next time I am going to insist. She looks so cute! My husband gave me a very nice card and did some special things around the house for me. Then tonight I sewed and sewed! A day couldn't be more perfect!



I finally finished the valances in my quilt room. They are a little wonky but I did the best I could with the staple gun. I'm not a handy woman either! The old quilt I cut up was so tatttered that it was unusable. So, don't worry I didn't cut up a good quilt. There are little places with cotton hanging out but I think it adds to the charm. My room had been torn up for two weeks while I put these together and it was so nice to clean up the mess and get back to normal.

In the next few days I should have the top of my sneak peek quilt put together and I'll be sure to take a picture.
