Happy Mother's Day

I've been busy this weekend. It's been the first really nice weekend we've had this spring. We've had nice days during the week, but I'm at my paying job then, so I had a lot to do in the garden yesterday. I'm still far from finished but I made a small dent, at least in the weed patch in back, and got the lawn mowed. I'll work on the front weeds after work when they're shaded.


We're all going to oldest DD's C* and her family's home for dinner tonight and there were projects I wanted to finish to give people. I've been making a sundress and hat for my granddaughter L* and managed to get the last button sewn on the dress today. Here's a picture of the hat ---



Don't you love it??? There's something about the shape of the brim that just spoke to me.

Here's the dress ---
It's the old standby ruffle instead of a sleeve that ties with a sash style that's been around for years but it never seems to go out of style. The fabric is white with red cherries and green stems. It just looked like the perfect fabric for a little girl's summer dress. I'm going to wrap it in tissue and put a pretty ribbon on it so she has something to open, too, and won't feel left out. She's not yet old enough to understand not getting to share in the fun and loves to open things! She really learned how on her birthday last month.




I'm taking the green salad for dinner tonight and have a fabulous recipe for parsley dressing that I made to go with it. I'll share that later.

Happy Mother's Day - and don't forget to enjoy yourselves!!!
