Today I woke up exhausted from a week full of tennis, kids, soccer, trying to get my office organized, cutting out quilts and the list seems to go on and on...
My hubby dropped the kiddos off at school and I was able to sleep in for another, very much needed, two hours.
When I woke up at 9:30 I decided to watch the men's semi-final of the Australian open. It was a good match between two players I really don't care about: Andy Murray and Novak Djokavic. Djokavic won in the 5th set. Being that I really didn't care about the out come of the match, I decided to embellish the purple/green/dragonfly/ patchwork baby blanket with some embroidery. Just did a simple quilting stitch of a couple of dragonfly's and some flowers on the solid squares. The really needed something and I think it turned out great. I need to add some minky to make it just a tad bigger on the sides.
I meant to take pictures of the dragonfly blankie today, but by the time I finished the embroidery it was time to clean the house up for the weekend. The younger three boys did a really good job of cleaning up knowing that once they finished they would be allowed to play "Skylanders" on the Wii. When my oldest came home, he however, did not want to get with the program. He picked fights with each of his brothers and even tried to get mouthy with me... grrrrrrr... the joy of having a 13 year-old son!
Once the hubby came home we were off to my best-friend's son's birthday party. The kids had way too much fun and got in plenty of trouble, while me and Angie spent a lot of the evening re-organizing most of her mom's fabric. Her mom has some beautiful quilt tops, blocks and pieces that are all hand-stitched and we aren't exactly sure how old they really are. Then there's the regular fabric... she has some really cool stuff.
I ended up back home by 10:30 and spent a couple of hours playing WoW with my hubby, checked Facebook to see how my God-daughter's soccer game went (it mustn't have been good) and now, here I am... blogging before bed.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day: tennis match in the morning, soccer games in the morning, a child having a sleep-over and somewhere in there I want to get some quilt tops sewn... hmmmm... I guess we will see what happens :)
