On Mothers Day Stu roused the boys at about 0500 and they went fishing. Both little guys caught a fish and tossed it back in the lake. They were so excited about their little dawn fishing trip.
When I get some free sewing time I am going to make this quilt. It is from Anna Maria Horner's new book "Handmade Beginnings" I tried so very hard to figure out this pattern before getting the book, but now I see how totally awesome it is and I can't wait to make one. Nope, I don't have a baby in mind to make it for, I just want to make one!
Yesterday Jennifer, Deb and I made a trip to Lawrence, KS so we could visit the most awesome fabric shop ever Sarah's fabric. This is truly a shop you NEED to see in real life. Her web site needs some love, but her shop is out of this world. I think I spent an hour of my morning down on my hands and knees re-discovering Ginger Bliss (One of Any Butler's very first fabric lines) and I found a bolt of Yoshiko Jinzenji, well 3 bolts actually but this was the one print I really wanted about 2 years ago. I only got a tad so I could leave some behind for some other lucky soul. I also got the perfect fabric to finish my teacher bags before the end of the school year. I wish I had the time to make the hand print quilt for the teachers here, but there are too many awesome teachers and I just am strapped for time. Bags will have to do the trick!
So here we are on Thursday night when it was still warm. I am yapping away about something...I hope you all had a great mother's day and I wish you a wonderful week of lovely sewing and crafting!
xo,
Tia

Happy belated mothers day to you too Tia!
Basset's are sooooo darned cute! We have a Great Dane, named Brixa.. soon to be adding a Rottie, after Larry gets home.
Hey, I saw on a website hanging herb planters for the kitchen. Or wherever else, they were SUPER neat. I thought about getting one, bc the weather here is so darned finicky. There are also some that fit onto of the fridge, like if you don't have hanging space or counter space. You could look into one of those! :)
Hope your week is going well! :)
