For today's project, I rooted around in my stash of cotton yarn for the brightest colors I could find!

I had so much fun making this nest set that I couldn't stop at my usual 3 bowls- I made 5!! I call these my gypsy bowls, for their exotic and colorful nature. Look for them in sosorosey sometime this week, or ask for a set made just for you. I have PLENTY of yarn left, lol!

I'm feeling a bit like that first photo of the yarn- somewhat frazzled and coming undone. We had an amazing Mother's Day weekend; having the chance to spend time being a mother with my mother was really special. But, whenever we go away- even for a weekend- it takes a little time to get back in the groove.

I realized today that Sophie only has a month left of preschool. That means *I* only have a month left before summer vacation! So, in an effort to get things done that need getting done, I have appointments this week for Sophie's dentist, an oil change, and my hair. Next weekend I'm off again- this time to Frederick, MD. I'll have my semiannual shop-til-you-drop, eat-and-drink-til-you-bust, talk-til-you're hoarse overnight with my best gal pal. I'll also bring a few goodies to restock the shelves at The Muse. More on that later in the week!

Enough about me- what's new with YOU? Any special thrift finds or projects? Did you have a wonderful Mother's Day? Do leave a comment and share! Hope you have a happy, happy week... I'll be back to regular blogging as soon as I have dug myself out from under this mountain of laundry :)
Oh it's always so good to be back home. I crave the routine, structure, and orderliness I only find in my own humble little home.
ReplyDeleteMother's Day was lovely. Quiet. Simple. FINALLY convinced Big Glenn to not go overboard. He has a habit of buying too much. This year he got me one of those ceramic bowls for yarn; little birds perched on top for the yarn to pass through. I'm sure you've seen them on Etsy. Nice item for gals like us!
Jennie, that's an awesome set! I love it. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour big week sounds wonderful. I also have a big week. I am defending my master's portfolio tomorrow, then graduating on Friday. Whoo hoo!
Hi Jennie! Those bowls are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great Mother's Day weekend here, too. I worked on a long thought over project - something sentimental that celebrates my family! I love it! Perfect project for the holiday weekend! If you're interested :o)
