Congrats Suzee I will email you in a minute to get your info...

Before I say another word I must thank Brooke for doing such a fabulous job in guest hosting for me. <<<round of applause>>> Thank you so much Brooke! You are a true friend and all around sweetheart!

I thought you might like to see some pictures of what we did while we were gone. After the travel day from hades (It took us 24 hrs to get tot he east coast) We made it just in time for a 2 hr nap before we had to get ready for the dinner before Michael's graduation. Here is a pic of him right after he picked up his diploma:

We were in the nose bleed section so this is the best I could do :)

The next day we had a free day to spend with him so we took the kids to Mt. Vernon (it is one of my favorite historical sites) Erin was too young last time we went there to remember it and Michael had never been. They both really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it as well since so much had changed and been added since last time.

Front of the house.

This is the back porch (and my kids) it faces the Potomac.

These are the blacksmiths they were actually working the shop when we were there.

This is Washington's green house. Some of the slave quarters are on each side. The center held tropical plants and trees like lemon and orange trees. And of course this is one of the gardens in front.

Our last day there was spent quietly then we went to Michael's "Eagle Scout Court of Honor"

We are so proud of him.

Two new fabric collections coming this week. It is going to be a busy summer :)

Talk soon!

The Plan...

Hi Everyone,

First of all I wanted to show you this gorgeous quilt that one of my shop patrons made. She married Kumari Garden and Kumari Garden Holiday so beautifully in this don't you think? Here name is Carly and her shop is called Quiltville. She not only makes quilts she designs them and has her wonderful patterns for sale in her etsy shop. You should go take a look I think you might find something you can't live without. I know I have.

So what did I mean by "The Plan"? I will be gone this week starting on Wednesday. It is a wonderful and exciting week for our family. Our amazing son, Michael, is graduating from High School and having his Eagle Scout Honorarium this week. We are so stinkin' proud of him :) It is really hard for me to be away from the shop right now that it is just getting going but this is so important.

Doesn't he look handsome?

I am so proud that one of my good friends has agreed to step in and guest blog for me while I am gone. Brooke is an amazing creative lady and I know she has some fun things up her sleeve for you. So I will be back tomorrow but then I will be incommunicado for a few days. I know you won't forget me right?

Hugs to all!

Talk soon....
