Second best

Okay, so we didn't make it to Nordstroms. But Mikes and I did go out for Chinese and I went to Joann's fabric to get baby quilt materials!!!

I used to love quilting, but haven't touched a sewing machine in years. In fact, when we moved to UT, all my sewing materials got left behind in VT. When I went back to pick them up, my friend had already thrown them out, thinking they belonged to no one! NOOOO! I totally forgot how expensive quilting supplies can be until I needed to pick up new ones: a cutting board, the rotary cutter, acrylic rulers, etc, etc.

I am pretty excited about making a baby quilt. Sometimes I feel like I used to be such a creative person but haven't done anything artistic in awhile. So it'll be nice to make something again.

Still feeling a little sick, but slowly recovering! Mikes leaves tomorrow for a conferences in Toronto where he's presenting a paper. By the time he gets back, the basement will be done! Well, at least the concrete will be poured and it'll be ready for stage 2. Progress. Progress.

me & the pups - he keeps me company on the couch when I'm sick.

Can't wait to see what you make! Something about "creating" something like a quilt is just so satisfying!

Oh! Love the colors of the quilt and only you could be sick and still look like a million bucks!
