We had a really nice weekend. It was too short, of course, but no complaints otherwise. Things progressed in pretty much the manner I predicted. My mom's pottery night was a fun event, even though our numbers had dwindled to three by the time the actual event occurred (we started with 9). I painted a platter with cocentric circles of multi-colored dots on the serving side and solid green on the back side. I have no idea what I'll do with it, but it's pretty – or I hope it will be, rather. The other two moms painted a votive candle holder with a ladybug on it and a light-up Halloween house. I'm excited to see what they all turn out like. Everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot and I think I'll schedule another event at a later date. I'd also like to take Tabby back to make some handprint or footprint pieces, possibly for the grandmas at Christmas. Wonder how that would work?
Tabby stayed at my mom's on Friday night so Matt could have shop time while I went out. So we picked her up on Saturday morning and took everyone to breakfast. The rest of the morning and afternoon were consumed with napping and errands. And the party for my cousin's 18th birthday was as nice as I knew it would be. Since I'm incredibly uncreative with gifts at the moment, he got the fab Lime in the Coconut shirt from Shirt.Woot.
Today we've hardly left the house except for a few walks around the neighborhood. It's been very warm, but we've kept things fall by watching football (the Broncos won, but we couldn't be too proud of it) and making apple butter with some of the bounty from our trip two weekends ago. The whole house smells awesome. Except for now it's mixed with the smells of buffalo chicken pizza, which is just a weee bit weird. But still yummy.
I'm still behind on email, haven't made a fall blog theme yet and want to post about 10 new recipes we've tried recently. But it is getting late and I have to do other things before bed … since work is tomorrow and all. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Glad it was a good weekend. Hmmm… not sure I ever recall saying a weekend was too long. Wait, there have been a few call weekends. Mostly, I could handle a weekend every day ;0)
I can't wait until Andrew is “old enough” to stay over at other places. Right now we have a hard enough time with family members coming to our house and putting him to bed….
The Broncos didn't cover the spread. 2 points??? Bah!
I'm so glad you had such a nice weekend. We took my mom one Mother's Day to one of those places. I loved it. It can be so addictive. I'm not even an artist and I wanted to paint everything in site. Course do to the budget I didn't
