    Today is my mama's birthday. She went to heaven in 1997. I owe everything I learned about sewing to her. She taught me to make doll clothes and piece quilt tops as a kid. She would be amazed to see all of the beautiful quilts these days. She used scraps people gave her, and only bought the cheapest of materials, but she still ended up with pretty quilts.

    I went to my 3rd florist consultation for my upcoming September wedding yesterday and finally realized that my floral budget was way too small. This is what happens when you never buy flowers... I really don't want to go to a U Pick flower farm and pick them myself on the day of my wedding, so I guess this means I'll have to increase my budget?

    lovely lovely solids! thank you ...

    Random: today at school, as I pushed backwards, arms laden with marking and books, onto a door that needs to be opened by pushing the handle, to my horror I said OUT LOUD "Sometimes, I just wish I could open a door with my buttocks."

    My Head of Department just shook his head in that "oh dear" kind of way ...

I have 3 pans sitting in the sink to be washed but I have gotten 3 bindings sew on wait to be hand stitched and I got 4 bee blocks done and I'm going to visit a fiend who is in town before I do those dishes. The best part is I don't really care but I sure hope no one just shows up at my door.

    Has it been 10 years since the Seinfeld finale? If it has, they should be out of jail by now. Also, I must confess that I prefer Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy to Matthew Mcfadyen (not that I object to him at all, mind you). And I'm eating vanilla ice cream with Nutella on it for the first time. I'm not sure about the combo, but Nutella on graham crackers -- divine!
