It's been a BUSY week!

I attended the Stitching Sisters two day seminar here in Sacramento and that was fun & inspiring. I hooked up with some very nice gals and we team stitched lots of goodies. They had one Ellismo machine for four people so you stitched every fourth project. I enjoyed trying the free motion quilting Stipple designs Eileen Roche of DIME created. She and her sister Marie Zinno were fun and down to earth.....it was great to meet them. I left ultra-inspired & decided I really want to take things up a notch and grow things big time in the next year!

It was a great two days. I hope they come back to Sac.

Since it was so gorgeous this weekend, we took little Arlen to JB's Ranch to ride one of his ponies. Arlen had been looking forward to it for a long time and it was wonderful. I know he'll remember this for a long time. There was a llama who was very friendly! We had a great day enjoying the sunshine and making memories for the little one.
