Saturday we celebrated Ben's 2nd birthday - Western style of course :)
How wonderful it was that most of the adults who came where dressed up in western fashion; cowboy boots, 10 gallon hats and sheriff badges abound. Someone on the radio was twanging on a guitar and the menu was TRULY a cowboys dream meal - the best baked beans I've ever had in my life, gourmet sausages, apple fennel coleslaw (made by me), and some other sides.... That's as far as I got, cause once I glimpsed the cake Grandma Heather made I stopped eating dinner and waited for dessert :) Yummy!!
Present time! Cars, trains, books and knitted sweaters. Uncle Phil, Auntie Michelle and I got our little Picasso an easel with chalk and crayons. And, as a special treat for Adrienne I made a quilt fit for a cowboy. The front panel i used some cowboy themed fabric with blue and red gingham flannel - very cow-boyish.
And on the back panel made from little boy blue corduroy, I stitched in some gingham stars. Very reminiscent of a cowboy enjoying the night skies.
I enjoyed working on this quilt very much, so much I think it might be time to get some professional pointers so the frustration level will be decreased. So, now onto half finsihed projects.... like my hubby's sweater, or the mounds of cut baby blanket fabric, or those knitted socks or how about getting back to some housecleaning... so much to do so little time. Thank Buddah ;) the Christmas shopping is done :)
And what a beautiful blanket it is. It keeps our little cowboy warm on those cold nights on the ranch and he looks stylish to boot! Thanks again! We love it!
