Happy Mother's Day one & all!

I had a wonderful one. The weather was not too nice, but it really didn't matter. We took a bit of a road trip, and then stopped by the kid's farm where I received a lovely bouquet of flowers & 2 roses from the #1 GS & GF. I also got some lactose-free cheese and some multi-colored little carrots from the DD - she knows what I like, LOL. The DS called this morning to wish me a good day and to let us know they will be coming over for the #1 GS graduation, so we'll see them before we leave to go to Great Britain.
I went on a 9 store Quilt Shop Hop yesterday and got lots of goodies, plus now I know where all of the "local" stores are located. Helps with stash-enhancement, don'tcha' know? I bought a FQ and a button from or for each shop (some didn't sell buttons) and I plan to make a wall hanging commemorating my first shop hop. Should be fun.
I am nearly done with the increases on the yoke of the Estelle cardigan. I try to just do my sewing and quilting on the weekends as I can take my knitting to work & do it at breaks or on the lunchtime. I also knit when riding in the car, so got some done today. Otherwise I did a lot of mending and that shop hop for my sewing time this weekend, .

it's great to hear you had a good Mother's Day. We went to our homestead where the weather was cold and rainy, but it didn't dampen our spirits. I have never participated in a shop hop. (Truth be told, I'm not much of a quilter.

it was fun, but I'm not so sure about all of that driving. I think one should find a "buddy" who would like the driving part more. As for myself, I "hate" driving and only do it when I MUST.
