Happy Mother's Day

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day. I know I did. All my kids were here this morning to make me breakfast.


Oldest dear daughter made a (don't know the official name of it ) puff pastry topped with scrambled eggs and then on top of that was smoked salmon and asparagus and then topped with some kind of cheese. Mmmm...it was yummy. There was a fruit salad, too. Dear son made homemade cinnamon rolls and youngest dear daughter brought the bacon.


The kitchen was even cleaned up after all the cooking, too.


Best thing though was the strawberry that my 4 1/2 year old grandson saw and told his mom that that particular strawberry was for Mimi. He presented the most beautiful strawberry to me and was so proud to see how pleased I was to receive it. It was the shape of a heart.



A precious gift from a precious little boy.

60 MPH winds.....

holid

Well, that warm weather we were experiencing yesterday was absolutely wonderful. It was nearly 60 degrees out. DH and I took a walk downtown Rochester to see the Christmas lights before they are done for until next year.













Of course, this morning 60 mph winds blew in the cold weather again and we are back down to 32 degrees. We did find that the winds blew down our pear tree early this morning. This is the tree that DH was going to cut down but he was waiting for all the leaves to drop. If you notice, we are at the end of December and there are still leaves on this tree.


Since it was so windy and chilly out, I stayed in my sewing room most of the day and made up another three rows of blocks for the Merry Go Round quilt. One whole tower of Strawberries and Lemonade made this 62 x 82 quilt and all I have left is 8 half blocks and several wedges that will be used for charity baby quilts (or at least that is my plan).





I, also, made up one of my Hearts and Hand blocks. This quilt is going to be so pretty. I have a couple more prepped and ready to stitch, but since I have been neglecting my Dear Jane, I am sure this one is going to take some time to do, too.




Well, I hope the weather is good where you are; and I hope I have more to report to you in regards to my sewing soon.

No Grinch here....

Even though "The Grinch Stole Christmas" is on TV while I am putting my food together for tomorrow's Christmas Eve gathering with family AND finishing up wrapping the last of the Christmas presents, I am getting excited about celebrating with the people I love. The best thing is going to be watching my two little grandsons. Their excitement and anticipation of the decorations and the presents is so fun to watch. Kids are what make Christmas fun. So here's a little taste of my Christmas decorations and I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.
