Some Hubby Time

My mom was out of town for almost a week, so when she came back she wanted to see Aiden.  So Kris and I took some time for ourselves!

On Friday mom took Aiden for a few hours and we went and had a sushi lunch date.  Then we both had some time to ourselves.  I worked some more on my Lotus Quilt and he worked on cars.







On Saturday we used up some movie ticket vouchers we had and saw The Hangover 2 in theaters.  Their were two showing at 1230pm and we passed the first theater and went into the 2nd one, the one listed on our ticket of course, because we follow directions.

The movie started and it was just us.  We have a feeling that everyone else who was supposed to be in our theater saw the first sign and just went in without paying much attention.  Fine by us!  We talked and laughed loud, and even considered some inappropriate, could get us kicked out of the theater, behavior.  In the end though we just watched the movie.  It was a funny, but not too new from the first one.  More raunchy though. 

After that we went and did some grocery shopping before we picked Aiden up from mom.  It was a nice couple days to ourselves.  I think we needed a little couple time.  Tomorrow I plan to just stay in and sew if I can.

Hope everyone else is having a nice weekend!

WIP {Work-In-Progress} Wednesday

UPDATE:  Here is a picture of my brother wearing his costume I made him.  It worked GREAT he said.

New & Completed:
A scrappy improv mug rug.  I just randomly decided I needed to try making my first one.  So I just started cutting and sewing with no plan.  It turned out really cute!  I put it to use right away.

Fabric Tuesday!

I won something this week!

I am beyond excited with what I won too.  Thanks to Amy for her Bloggers Quilt Festival last week I was one of the random winners.  I know right, luck!  I won a 1.5 yard pack from Vicki Welsh over on Etsy.  She makes beautiful hand dyed and painted fabrics.  She let me decide if I wanted fat quarters or a mix of cuts or just one large cut.  I have future hope of making a rainbow quilt, all those bottled rainbow blocks on the interwebs are inspiring me, and I picked to get a 1.5 yard cut of this amazing rainbow gradient cut.

Won't this make a great large chunk for a pieced rainbow quilt back?  Like with some white surrounding it.  Oh I got all excited!  So that is my exciting Fabric Tuesday news. 

Here is a few images from her site.
