It’s quite windy here in the Boston area today.  I hate to see all those beautiful flowering bushes and trees lose their petals in the wind! Some of my bushes were just hitting their stride too.

I’m busy this week getting ready for a weekend trip to Disney with my husband.  We take the kids fairly often so I’m trying not to feel terribly guilty over this.  It’s the last hurrah of my 40th birthday celebration and I’m looking forward to a few days away.  Of course, I thought it would be a good weekend to go since the dance recital, semiformal, and music shows are all on other weekends but I didn’t realize the school band concerts were this weekend! My mom will have to attend not one night of concerts but two! Sorry mom….

I have some photos to share.  I saw these on Bakerella’s blog today…how adorable!

I’m getting ready to work on a new table runner that uses an Orange Twist Block and here are the fabrics I’ll be using…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also got new pink sneakers for Disney…couldn’t resist these babies…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And…for Mother’s Day, I received a garden gnome…meet Ted…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I probably won’t see much of the sewing room this week but for Mother’s Day I also received the Knitting Board Sock Loom so I’ll be chugging away on that project.

What are you working on this week?

Happy Quilting!
