You guys sure are good at making someone feel better - thanks! My kids are good at it, too - Thank God for them! On the way to the bus stop yesterday morning, they were singing Travis Tritt's "It's a Great Day To Be Alive" song at the top of their lungs. How can I feel blue when I'm being serenaded by such cuties with such a wonderful message?
I'm leaving for the airport as soon as I log out - headed to California to present at a conference and college fair at Stanford. I'll get the chance to reconnect with one of my college roommates tonight just outside San Francisco - yay! I hate that we live a continent apart, but we actually see each other about twice per year, which isn't bad.
But I have long flights ahead of me. I always envy the people with the neck pillows, but I'm too cheap to buy one. Today, I took matters into my own hands and made one.
I've been wearing it around the house all morning. So far, it is pretty darned comfortable! I think I want to make a patchwork one next...
I also sandwiched the Good Fortune Lil Twister quilt with this fun fabric - I had exactly enough, which to me was a sign that this was the right one and to stop pulling out everything in my stash to audition:
I'm taking it with me and praying that airport security doesn't take my safety pins and quilting needles. Even though the baby isn't due until July, I found out yesterday that the baby shower is the first weekend in June. Gotta get crackin"! And just in case TSA robs me again, I have 4 books and my toothbrush needle and rag rug materials to work on, too. By golly, I'm going to get SOMETHING done while I fly the friendly skies.
Have a great weekend, and to all you mothers out there - YOU ROCK!
