Oh What A Week It Was!

It was a super busy week last week. (Not a lot of stitching happened) My sweet girl turned 18. I still can't believe it really. It doesn't seem possible that she grew up that fast. Picture384_zps9fc1728a photo Picture384_zps9fc1728a.jpg On her Birthday while she was a school(taking exams...boo) I left flowers in her car, so when she came out she would be surprised. Picture385_zpse8a093cb photo Picture385_zpse8a093cb.jpg And when she got home I gave her quilt... Picture391_zpsd55514d7 photo Picture391_zpsd55514d7.jpg I haven't put the binding it on because I wanted to wait and see which college she is going to go, then match the color of the binding with the school's colors. (Her favorite color is orange... can you tell?) She told me she wants a white binding no matter where she goes, so a white binding it will be. I am just so happy she loved it. Along with Birthday craziness happening all last week... I took my son and my nephew to the aquarium. We all loved it. Picture430_zps3831468c photo Picture430_zps3831468c.jpg It was Homeschool day at the Aquarium down in Virginia Beach, Va and my nephew happened to be out of school that day so he got to go with us. Picture487_zpscad0c930 photo Picture487_zpscad0c930.jpg We had snow this week. My children made snowmen, snow-angles and went sliding together. The Pinewood Derby race was this week... here is a photo of my son's car... Picture514_zps918884b5 photo Picture514_zps918884b5.jpg It's a gecko! Lots of other things happened also... like our VW meeting, the 'Boat Show' and a funeral. I am looking forward to this week as I have nothing planned on the calendar but a quiz to study for and stitching.

your daughter is adorable! Happy Birthday to her. I love that quilt. I've been thinking about giving it a try - quilting, that is. I made a doll sized one way back when I was in high school. I think I would like to try making a grown-up sized one, one of these days. Your quilt just adds fuel to that fire. What a wonderful, thoughtful gift. And it is the extra special mom who leaves flowers in her car and remembers to take a photo to boot!
