Mother's Day

What a wonderful day!  Sunshine to wake up to then Micaela surprises me to join us at church!  Brunch with my Mom and Dad and sister and brother-in-law from Duluth.  Then it started to rain- a beautiful soft rain.  An afternoon call from Daniel. Look at the Scottie dog Micaela made and gave me for Mother's Day. It is perfect with the Mary Engelbreit kitchen theme!

Also GOT THE ZIPPER IN ON THE SKIRT!!!

A Spring Saturday?

This is what I woke up to this morning!

Most of the day was spent at church working towards the

 Palm Sunday Bake Sale.

These were some of the views of the day...

Decorating Easter sugar cookies.

Baking Swedish Kringle.

Got some more of the wallpaper off in the familyroom

 (still working on the first wall!)

Made a string of 20 felt pennants for Micaela's upcoming craft show next week.

Day 362 - Another Church Quilt Top

My first day of my hours being cut so I didn't "work" today.  Walked on the treadmill, did up all of the laundry, dishes, cut coupons, did some computer work.   Then Micaela came over as she had the day off.
We went through all of her clothes left in her bedroom closet and sorted them out.  Then did some planning and brainstorming on her Christmas tree topper angel (see Day 301- November 29,2010).   Then had some lunch- macaroni and cheese.
We then began to brainstorm on figuring out how to make a small version of a bear paw block for her Yellowstone quilt.  Looked online, in books and patterns.  Tried making a sample.  She ended up designing her own and was able to figure out how to make them a paper-piece pattern!!!  On the 2nd try she got it to work!  Now she has to make 25 of them.  End of the evening she has 4 made.  I worked on sewing another church quilt together today.  We had a nice break for dinner and made a T-bone steak.
