And So It Begins

It seems that baby Will has discovered there's a difference between the Russian and myself. Unfortunately he figured it out while I was in the middle of a massage this evening, and he wasn't happy about it. I understand that he screamed for an hour and a half until I got home, and stopped when he was handed over to me. What I don't understand is why now, all of a sudden, this is a problem. It's not going to be good for him to be so attached to one person, so we're starting a new plan to help Carl soothe him when necessary. Hope this works!

Had a great weekend! My Mom came up again and we hit some holiday craft sales. I got a really cute hat and mitten set for the baby, and my Mom was buying those knitted dishcloths like they were going out of style! I think she bought at least 2 or 3 from every vendor that was selling them. And for some reason she can't walk past a kettle corn vendor without buying some. I don't get it.

I have my sewing room back! From fleece, that is. I got all of the hats for Chinese orphans turned in, and the blankets for the shelters here in town. I can see the carpet now! I even made a Rocky Road to California block the other night! I couldn't remember the last quilt block I'd worked on and was afraid I'd forgotten what to do, but I discovered that quilting is kind of like riding a bicycle. Without the wheels. And the handlebars. And the peddling. And the annoying seat.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to completing this state quilt I'm working on. REALLY looking forward to it!

That said, one of our ex quilt shops is having a final liquidation sale this Friday.
I wonder how much damage I can do at 50% off? :)
