Happy Birthday!!

Twenty six years ago today, I was at the hospital getting this!
Yes, that's right...DS was born 26 years ago today. Wish I could have cooked dinner for him and made him a cake, but he is living and working on the east coast. I had to be content to talk to him on the phone this evening.

This afternoon I sewed a little. My project was not quilting, but I can use it when I quilt. I have been wanting to make an apron to keep my scissors, small rulers, pencils, etc. when I sew. I found a pattern for a gardening apron and with a few minor changes, here's what my apron looks like.
I can now put my tools in the pockets as I work and not lose them!

I need to scan some of my old photos so I can have them on the computer. I just love your son's open mouth! It's hard when they move far away.

That is a great idea. I have at least two of everything with the idea that I can find at least one. It doesn't always happen that way. With this, everything is ready to go too, with no hunting and gathering. The fabric is pretty.

I hope your son had a wonderful birthday. I imagine it was hard being so far away, but I'm sure he knows how much that you love him.

The apron is such a great idea, I love it!

They grow up way to fast don't they? I tell young moms when they complain about their kids - that all that will end soon and you will wish for those crazy times back again!!!! Happy Birthday to you also!
