When Grandma Comes To Town

Last week Bryan needed to go out of town for business. My mom came to play while the hubby was away. We had a great time and cranked out quite a few sewing projects! I can't believe how quickly time went while she was here.

First on the list, I wanted to make curtains to cover the french doors that go into the office. It was quite the process of measuring, thinking about it for 2 hours, cutting/drilling holes, then realizing we were still wrong, ha! It was worth it and I love being able to roll them up or letting them hang down.

My mom even brought out her sewing machine for the next project. I needed a walking presser foot, which my sewing machine cannot accommodate, and I now realize that I NEED one. :) The next project was a quilt for baby Emma.

I'm planning to do her nursery in white, yellow and gray colors. When I saw the pattern for this quilt, I knew it was what I Emma wanted. It was a labor of love, but I am very happy with the end results!

We managed to crank out some burp cloths and plan out a few more projects for the next visit. Oh...and Luke? He had a great time. Grandma was excellent at distraction while I finished up what I needed to. We broke out the "silver bullet."



Luke was in heaven with Grandma, he is rather sad this week about having just my mug to look at all day. On the upside, Luke was very happy to have his "DaDa" back. When Bryan was gone, we came back from running errands and as soon as we pulled into the garage it was, "dada?, dada?, dada?". Luke went through the entire house looking for Bryan and when he couldn't find him stuck out his lower lip and tears formed right before he started to really cry.  He definitely has a tender spot for his dad in his heart and Bryan reciprocates it just as much, if not more. Hopefully Luke is willing to share his DaDa with Emma. :)
