Up and Running

Well the Sisterhood2Motherhood fundraising is up and running! Val is churnning out beautiful custom necklaces and other jewelry.

Moms already love Val's designs especially with children's names engraved and some with their birthstones. She has been really creative, I cannot wait to see some of the new engraving she has been working on!

I have been sewing a bit, trying some new things including the tag blankies and working on a few other ideas. I only wish I had more time to play, if only I didn' t have to go work!

Crafty Weekend

What a great weekend, my parents came for a visit, me and my mom embroidered like crazy! We worked on getting a start on the Silky blankets and Diva Aprons. As much as I wanted to quilt we just didn't have time but talked about quilting enough to count for something! I have uploaded the pics on the flickr site. I really like the Diva aprons just couldn't get a photo to upload here (I am sure operator error!)

On a side note we were dogsitting little Lola and my dad actually liked her, this is big news in our family since Lola is coming to live with us later this fall (Lola tends to lack some social skills but she is so lovable).

As you can imagine I am trying to keep busy, this is going to be a very long couple of years waiting.
