Monday Morning Mood - Happy!

Everett was hiding and did not join us for the family photo! 
How was your weekend? Mine was a very happy surprise. Early Saturday afternoon my husband asked me to stop what I was doing in the kitchen and go into the garage. As I walked out I heard "Happy Mother's Day", and there was our son Jeff who had driven up from south Texas! I couldn't even talk - I did the ugly cry - lol! He came by himself to spend the night, then our daughter and son-in-law and The Littles came a couple hours later (after a soccer game and a birthday party!) Jeff made burgers on the Blackstone, and we stuffed ourselves and laughed and talked for hours. He left yesterday around noon after his Dad and I took him for a drive through the hills north of us. It was a wonderful weekend!

The Littles demanded that we do another quilt while they were here - lol! I told them no quilt this time, but they could go pick out some fabric they liked, so the sewing room was in chaos after they left. I will do some scrap and stash reorganizing this week.

Here is my list that got away from me last week:
✅1. Doctors appointments - cardiologist for Hubby and surgeon for me - Done - good report for Hubby and great report for me.
❌2. Finish Rose Colored Glasses project. It starts next Monday and my day is Tuesday May 16 - I had planned to do this on Saturday afternoon, and that plan got scrapped - lol!
❌3. APQ Scrappy Celebration - finish B blocks - No progress.
❌4. RBD blocks - No progress
❌5. Winging It blocks - No progress

Winging It ready to go!
After my post for Rose Colored Glasses Blog Hop tomorrow, I want to do some stash straightening and catch up on my projects without distractions, so I will take a little vacay from blog posting and reading. I may drop a quick post about a Fat Quarter bundle I won from Island Batik - yay!

I hope all of you have a wonderful week! I am linking with these awesome blogs:
