mother’s day 2009

family of three, originally uploaded by Lizi Beth. ‘Twas a lovely day. I felt so loved and honored all day long. John made me breakfast in bed and entertained Emma so that I could sleep another hour (not sure which gift I appreciated more!). They gave me a bouquet of roses, a gift certificate for a pedicure and a frame for a picture of Emma. Emma had “encouraged” us to start our day a few hours earlier than planned, so…

And at $18, it’s affordable, too. But it’s still at the store. Although now that I’ve been thinking more about it, I think it may be something that I would enjoy for years to come, something that our children could look back and remember. If nothing…

I took a break from aprons this afternoon to make a baby bird. It may turn into a larger project later, but for now, it is just a pretty little thing.I got the pattern from Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts.
