a very, very good day
Sunday, October 13, 2013
I made some flowers in the morning to finish up the house....my mom came over, we played with dollhouse decorations for a bit, then went yarn shopping, she's going to knit me a sweater...I love spending time with my mom...I treated myself to a mani-pedi when I was out running errands...had lunch with my daughter...then in the early afternoon the mailman brought me my Halloween present from Susan.
There were a bunch of cool Halloween goodies in the box, a big jar of the best hand lotion in the world, which is made locally where she lives...and she made me a quilt! Hot damn!
Look at that, it's like she had the measurements of my sofa! It's warm, and snuggly, and perfectly me! I love it! I have the bestest best friend in the world!
I spent my afternoon snuggled up under my quilt watching movies...my hubby graciously waited on me hand and foot because I claimed I couldn't get up as I was too snuggly warm under my new quilt. Ha!
This morning I need to finish the house...I want to get it done before I leave for St. Louis, which is before the sun comes up Tuesday morning. Then I'm headed back to my sofa and my quilt for more snuggly movie time.
Susans' gratuitous cat picture...
Very cool that it is such a good size for your couch! It started out as a lap quilt but I kept making more blocks that I then had to add in and voila, it became a quilt quilt. Moderate Me.
The best size for snuggling with cats and other loved ones, though...
I was working on it during 90 degree weather, with it all bundled on my lap while binding the edges. I had such a good time making it, so am thrilled that you like it and that the weather is perfect for it now.
The hand lotion... the man and woman who make it from their own beehives are a hoot. She is so nice and we go out of our way to talk to her at festivals, but he will spin the craziest conspiracy theories and hold you hostage for an hour with them, so Hubs and I have been known to slink around the corner of festival tents to save that hour for other things when he is in charge of the booth.
I use it on my nails every night though... good stuff, ain't it?

The lotion is good stuff!
I'm so glad you're moderate ;) The quilt is the perfect size.
If I can get Ester to share I'm going to go climb back under it right now!
