VISIT FROM MY MOM

THE LAST TIME MY MOM WAS HERE WAS LAST SUMMER FOR JESSICA'S WEDDING AND AT THAT TIME SHE SAID THAT SHE JUST DIDN'T THINK THAT SHE WOULD BACK UP TO SEE ME BECAUSE TRAVELING WAS JUST TO HARD.

MY MOTTO HAS ALWAYS BEEN NEVER SAY NEVER BECAUSE GUESS WHAT?  THANKS TO KAREN AND WYNN  SHE MADE IT BACK HERE AND WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND WE HAD.  MOM'S BIRTHDAY WAS COMING UP AND SO KAREN AND I DECIDED TO TAKE MOM OUT FOR THE DAY....WE TOOK HER TO GET HER HAIR DONE, THEN WENT TO MACYS FOR A LITTLE SHOPPING, MACYS IS ONE OF MOM'S FAVORITE PLACES TO SHOP AND SHE GOT THE BARGIN OF THE DAY  3 SWEATERS FOR $17, WE WENT OUT TO LUNCH AND DINNER, AND FINISHED THE DAY WITH A LITTLE BIRTHDAY CAKE AND ICE CREAM.  I THINK WE WORE HER OUT HAPPY.

SOOO...  OR SHOULD I SAY "SEW"....

 I HAVE HAD MY NEW SEWING MACHINE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT OUT OF THE BOX.  THANK GOODNESS KAREN CAME TO MY RESCUE.  SHE HELPED ME GET MY MACHINE OUT, STOCK MY SEWING ROOM WITH NEEDED GADGETS AND HAD JEFF HELP HER MAKE ME A IRONING PAD TO USE WHEN ( I SAY THIS LIGHTLY) I GET READY TO USE IT.  I FINISHED THE EDGE OF A BABY BLANKET WITH ONE OF THE MANY  CUTE DECORATIVE STITCHES THAT IS ON MY NEW MACHINE.

I CAN'T WAIT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.  I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE BUT WHEN I DO IT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER LANDMARK OCCASION I'M SURE.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I DO LOVE MY NEW SEWING ROOM, I BOUGHT MY SEWING TABLE IN WALLA WALLA AND IT IS PERFECT FOR MY ROOM.  FOR ME SOME THINGS TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND I AM WORKING AT SPENDING MORE TIME IN MY CUTE ROOM.
