A Blessed Weekend!

What a great weekend we've had.  Spending time with family and friends reminds me just how blessed we are.

Yesterday we enjoyed the day with both sets of parents!  My mom and dad came out so we could work on CUSTOM pillowcases.  My mom is the pillowcase queen - over the years she's made us some of the funnest pillowcases.  We got several cut, ironed and sewed, until we broke one too many sewing machine needles.  I know I have some in my studio, but do you think I could find them?!  Of course not!  Needless to day, we were able to make a dent in the fabric we've been collecting all year long.  We'll start over again the day after Christmas!  Glen's mom and dad joined us about 6 - even though we planned Ribs and home made french fries (which Glen grilled (ribs) and they were AMAZING!!!), Glen's mom wanted us to taste some city chicken, kupusta (I'm not sure if it's spelled right), Pierogi and meatballs, which was all FABULOUS.  Probably not a good thing to know this little Polish restaurant is just a few miles from where I work! 

We always love when we can get together.  It's so nice to invite our folks out and just let them sit and enjoy while we get everything ready for dinner.  Their company is wonderful.  It's nice to be able to do for them what they have spent so many years doing for us! 

We are so grateful that our mom's and dad's get along.  My mom and mother in law sat and talked while balling up yarn my mom spun for me to use on all these slippers I'm knitting for Christmas.  That yarn will be used for a special pair of slippers for myself and my two moms.

Our dad's sat and chatted and talked at the football game on and off throughout the evening - we were hoping for an Iowa win over OSU - didn't happen......(we do a lot of talking to the TV during football season at our house.....).

Today was a clean up & take it easy day. 

We like to think we're pretty tech savvy to a certain extent at our house, but for the first time today, I Skyped with my best friend Shelly in Topeka.  It was so much fun to be able to craft and actually show one another what we were working on instead of just spending hours talking on the phone like we usually do.

Thank you Shelly for such a fun day - I know we didn't get much done, but it sure was a fun experience!!

So, tomorrow we have the day off (Veterans Day observed), so we're going to get a head start on getting ready for our Turkey Day After Dinner we host every year the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Nothing like getting a head start!!

We hope you have a great week this week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
