My second Mother's Day! I cannot believe how much Juliet has grown up! Last year we were celebrating in GA with family at Bone Fish Grill. A few things I still remember about that day: (1) Leigh, Justin, Daddy and Juliet prepared a beautiful breakfast for me and mama, (2) I ate Pow Pow Shrimp and loved it...which is huge since I hate anything in water, (3) I ate my first Lindor Truffle dark chocolate...it was heavenly, (4) Juliet had a major spit up, on Justin, in a most inconvenient spot, in the shape of Africa...her spit ups were huge and not unusual.
This year we spent Mother's Day at home. Mama and Daddy came for the weekend. We had a great, but short time to visit. There are a few things that I'll remember about my 2nd Mother's Day: (1) Juliet had her first allergic reaction, to wild flowers, I think. Her lip swelled up big and red and after Benedryl, she had a little blister, (2) Juliet was teething and in a FINE mood, (3) Juliet slept through dinner and Justin gifted me sans Juliet, (4) no mother daughter pictures. But we did have a wonderful dinner prepared by Daddy, Justin and Leigh! Thank you for giving us the royal treatment!!!
Juliet and Granddaddy play in the tunnel.
Thanks Deda and Granddaddy for my new chair! I'm ready for summertime sittin'.
For our mothers on this fine day, I made fabric flower pins that are all the rage. I combined a few tutorials and came up with these. I think they came out great!!
They look great pinned on your shirt:
Or on a bag. I knew Mama would prefer the bag option, so I made her one. The bag was really easy to make. I used a Heather Bailey pattern as my guide.

Boo for teething!!! Wait for the molars...no teething issues ever affected Drew's mood until those molars. Argh! No fun.
I'm SO impressed with your bag and flower pins. I must give it a whirl! Since my curtain disaster, I put my machine up for a while because I was fed up! I think I'm gonna go grab some fabric at HL tonight and start on a full hostess apron. Maybe I'll put one of those cute flower pins on the upper corner!
Love you, sister!
Grandaddy looks like Lowly Worm in that tunnel!
Audra, from experience, DO NOT make a full apron. It will widen your hips to the size of a doublewide trailer and then you'll feel bad about yourself and then cry because you wasted all that time on making something and now you can't wear it. I thought it would be a cute "I Love Lucy" look, but it wasn't. It was just BAD. ;)

I used my bag today at school and had lots of compliments on it! It worked quite well, and I loved it!!! Thank you!!
Love, Mama
Leigh--thank you for that. Maybe I'll stick with the half. I need nothing to make me bigger anywhere right now! Oh and the thought of wasting my time is even worse!
