Michelle, I have your address. JennyPennyPoppy and Mary, if you would send your mailing information to me at DianeCademartori at gmail dot com, I should be able to get these little cuties off by the end of the week.

I've skimmed, not read, all 167 blog entries on my Google Reader that were posted in my absence. My goodness! I hope I never lose my Internet connection for a whole week ever again! I would have liked to spend more time reading, but I do have a few other irons in the fire!

This is the last week of my mom's visit. I can't believe it's almost time for her to fly home! We've had so much fun... special lunches, playing Words with Friends, shopping, knitting, etc. Mom is at my sister Janet's house now, and I spent today with daughter Joanne. Mom bought Joanne her first sewing machine last week, and I bought her some fabulous fabric. We spent today preparing the fabric for sewing a disappearing 9 patch quilt top. Tomorrow we're going to spend the day with Mom and Janet, and then on Wednesday, Joanne and I are attending Open Sewing Day at our local quilt shop (40 minutes away is about as local as I can get!). Our plan is to sew together the squares for the quilt top, and Joanne will have the bonus of getting an all-day sewing lesson!

Needless to say, I haven't accomplished much on the tatting front. I did finish my hanky edging, and I have about half of it sewn on. Hopefully, I'll have pics to share very soon!

I'm so glad to be connected again. I've missed you all!
