My daughter seems to be going through a bit of a difficult time lately. I thought it would be a good idea to take her out for some special one-on-one time with Mum. We went to the local "Chapters" bookstore and picked up a few favourtes. This was followed by a visit to the local donut shop.
I also managed to squeeze a bit of thrifting in. Lovely Japanese sugar dish.
Cute vintage fabric with Roosters and hearts on it. Not sure what it will become.
Finally the birthday bag that I completed 30 minutes before the party. Not too stressful. Half way through, my sewing machine decided to give me issues. I had to run off to my sisters and get her machine. I don't know which was worse, hers or mine. Both our machines were having stitching issues. I didn't really have a choice...I had promised the birthday girl a bag...not so perfect stitching on the top, but other then that it turned out okay. The birthday girl was very excited to get the bag and her freezer stencil butterfly shirt that Danielle made.
See I moved away from my standard initials and heart bags.

What a great mom you are - doughnuts and books would certainly cheer me up! I can't believe that it was George Michael that brought me to your blog, but I'm glad he did. I'm enjoying your posts!
