Fun at the Lake…Family togetherness {and Mom went tubing}

July 11, 2011 By 17 Comments

Our family reunion was an absolute blast!  All the cousins had such a great time playing, swimming and just being together.

Mom brought her sewing machine to the lake, and I insisted she keep it in the car!  We had too much family-bonding to do, and I wanted her to relax!  {just so you know, that Woman LOVES to sew}

We haven’t been to the lake in years and this year was perfect.  We really had a blast!  We played spades, ate great food, swam and swam and did our best to just relax.  On the last full day we were there, Mom went out on the boat with us and decided she wanted to get out on the tube.  Mom {Jenny} has always been one of those Mom’s that did everything with us.  Crazy-bold-fun, that was Mom.  I was a little surprised by this, but not too much!  :)

Anyway, she went out and had an absolute BLAST!  Look at her face!  She loved every minute of it!

She even caught a bit of air!  GO Mom!

Well, thanks for indulging me on all this family-business.  Don’t you worry, we have lots of quilting goodness coming up this week!  Some great new patterns, some AWESOME show and tells and even some new products we can’t wait to show you!

Have a WONDERFUL Monday!

Ahhh, I need a vacation! :)

This week and next might seem a bit light in posting.  I am preparing to take my family to the Lake!  Ahhh, I could use a few days of sun-water-and relaxation!  :)

The best part about it is that it is a FAMILY REUNION vacation!  Who can resist those?  We will have a crazy-good time.  Memories will be made and I am sure we will have more than one water fight!  {did I ever tell you about the time Mom {Jenny} broke her back, water fighting with us when we were kids?}  It’s a good story.  *wink

Not sure where I found the image above {somewhere online, ugh wish I could remember} but it really spoke to me.  I am looking forward to spending time with and taking care of those closest to me this week.

What are your plans?

ps. we are SUPER excited about this.  We are busy working on our project right now.  Do you love embroidery as much as I do?

BUS Trip 2011 the aftermath…

BUS Trip 2011 the aftermath…

June 7, 2011 By 11 Comments

Oh boy, was it a FUN weekend!  Our bus full of ladies (and one Aldo, *wink-wink)  left early (6:30am) I could hardly wait to get to the shop to meet everyone.  We had friends from the forums and friends from Florida and even some friends from Mexico City!

Everyone was so excited and happy, that it just added to all of the suspense that is ’8 buses’!!  LOL

We really did just have the best time!  It was so fun to meet and visit with all of the people from the different Shops and areas.  We had a great time teasing and helping each other.  I am constantly impressed by ‘quilters’ in general.  They are a kind, fun, honest group of people.  Am I right?  I still haven’t met a quilter I didn’t like!

I’m not gonna lie…..We were EXHAUSTED by the end of Friday!  (thinking, we have to do this all over again!??!)  It was also oddly, energizing! (I loved it)  We had the crazy idea that each bus that left, we would go out and wave goodbye.  Well, we would get a little crazy- doing things like the ‘wave’ and jumping in the air.  It was one of my favorite things!  (I just hope we didn’t leave a bad impression)  Hahahah!

If you went on the trip….did you love it?

What was your favorite part?

Would you do it again?

Oh, and did you miss me?

LOL, back with more tomorrow!

Have a great day.  (I’m sending my oldest off to camp today. sniff-sniff)
