vacation?


My husband has been on off of work for the past few days, thus the lack of posting. We are getting ready to leave on a little trip. Notice I didn't use the word vacation? I doubt there will be much rest or relaxation. Although I could use heaps of each. While we are gone are going to be celebrating our 11 year anniversary! Woo-hoo!
I've got the bento box finished, and will do a proper post when I get back.

Also, I am going to be the speaker at my sister's quilt club on Thursday, so I am packing up about 30 of my favorite quilts to show and tell. I'm very excited about it.

Be good while I'm gone! ;)

  7. I know exactly how you feel. We're off this week too...sailing. I'm not sure how relaxed I will be with my two little ones, but I will try.

    Have a terrific time. Knock'em dead at your sister's quilt club.

    "I'll be packing up about 30 of my favourite quilts...." LOL! I love that! I can't imagine having made 30 quilts, and you'll have to leave a lot behind :-)
    Bringing 30 quilts is a treat for your audience!
