We had a very nice visit with all of Kevin’s relatives out in Spokane this weekend.  The kids did great and we survived the very very long drive rather well.  Their favorite part was the indoor swimming pool at the hotel.   My favorite was the buffet breakfast every morning.  I think, if I could, I would have someone prepare a warm breakfast for me every morning.  And then do all the dishes too.  What a great way to start the day!

I meant to post a picture of the bag I made Leina’s preschool teacher as an end of the year gift but somehow time got away from me.  I found the fabrics way back when Ms. Erica came out to visit and then dug out the pattern from my horde.  All went well until the very last step when I managed, somehow, to snip right through the front of the bag five time.  Sigh.  It was too late to make  a new bag so I did my best to patch it up before I handed it off.  But honestly?  I was just sick.  Sick!  I do love the fabric and have more than enough to make another so….. you might just see me sporting my very own mushroom bag in the near future.  Hopefully, without the horrid snip marks.  Grrrr.
