Fun-Filled Weekend

Spring weekends fill up so quickly with fun activities. This morning I visited the Craftstravagana at the State Fair and it was wonderful to see so many artists' and crafters' creations. I purchased an adorable little card set with a gorgeous peacock design made by Michelle Brusegaard. I have to say that I loved all of her products and they are just as cute in person as they are online.

I also found the cutest dresses for my Sofia, which inspired me to get out my old yellow Kenmore sewing machine. My mom gave me my first lesson a few weeks ago (along with the sewing machine) and I have not touched the machine since. I am starting a collection of patterns and fabrics, some of which I purchased at the annual garage sale at the Minnesota Textile Center. I have many sewing ideas, but I will just have to wait and see if my self-diagnosed ADD allows me to start and complete them.

After visiting the craft fair, Sofia and I played outside, which always consumes the bulk of our day when spring is in the air. Of course, we went to the playground (twice), rode bikes, walked, smelled flowers, played with another tot, Claira, and watched some neighbor boys partake in sword fight with wooden swords.

Last night, I got to spend time alone with my other best buddy (otherwise known as my husband) and we attended a friend's wedding. Any excuse to hear my daughter say, "Mommy, you look like a princess," is reason enough for me to dress up!
