Going to Florida!!!

I'm off to Florida! The first part of my trip is work related, then I'm taking a side trip on the way back to see my sister in Jacksonville and little Alee! I'm very excited, can't wait to go to the beach and the zoo with them, and Monica just announced last week that she's expecting another little one, so it will be a very happy visit!  Right now I'm at the airport in Charlotte- our second flight is supposedly delayed until 902 pm, but I'm hoping that time will change and we'll leave earlier. 
So back to the news..... This past weekend I saw the equivalent of a unicorn.... What do I mean, you ask? Anyone who knows us will never believe this: Robert was actually at HOME on a Saturday, washing cars instead of playing golf....
Here's my proof:




And last night I finished my tablerunner: Robert was like, "It's nice, but it's not really the look I thought we were going for." And he's right, but that is what the class was, so that's what I made. And I know Mama B already said she wants it, so I'll just leave it on the table for awhile and then I'll pass it along. It is in NO way perfect, seriously, some of my stitches were way out of the ditches, but I wasn't going to be picky about it being it was my first project. And just glancing at it you probably wouldn't notice anyway.


I know, it pretty much looks the same as my last tablerunner post, but believe me, it's different! :-)
For our next project, we are moving on to the big stuff: QUILTS! So being the dedicated sewer that I am, I decided that I might as well make two of them during this class at the same time. These are the two sets of fabric that I picked out, and I love both of them. I'll probably keep the dark one for myself and give the other one away. The dark one reminds me of Mardi Gras, plus with Emma's lovely fur everywhere I figured it wouldn't show as much on the dark material....Also, the dark material is hand dyed (they're called Batiks) so it is a little more expensive than regular material, which makes it more special to me. What do you think?



That's it for now, I'll be posting pictures of my visit when I have free time! Have a great week!
