We’re lying low for Mother’s Day. We have a family dinner planned and the rest of the day is designated for cleaning out the new old Vanagon we just purchased. I’m promised a new hoodie from our neighborhood brewery once they are back in stock, but only on the condition that I retire my old Tractor Tavern one. It said so in the card.
I treated myself to a spree at Stash in Columbia City. Happy Mother’s Day to me!
The summer like weather in Seattle has gotten the best of me and I put together this combo while I was in the shop. Stash is carrying a load of the Michael Miller Cotton Couture. The quality and softness of these solids is incredible. I narrowed it down to these four and the prints.
I think I’ll splash in some dusty purple from my stash to pull in the Alexander Henry. I’m so drawn to the colors of this print.
I’ve purchased this Tula Pink in another color way at Stash. This is just another example of an good active solid. Something to help meld other prints together in a quilt.
Roan, always such a serious child, gave me this for Mother’s Day. I’m off to be as nice as a ninja, though I might skip being like a hippo and go for a run instead considering the amount of bacon and pancakes I just ate.
Happy Mother’s Day to you all.
I’m feeling a bit like a hippo too after the brunch we just had – Roan is so cute!
Love those prints too.
Happy mom’s day! Kids are the best, aren’t they?!
Oh that is priceless – children are the best! Hope you’ve had a great day
Lol, so young to be making fashion comments about your hoodies 😀 Look on the bright side though, at least you’re only *like* a hippo, one of my other bloggy friends’ sons said she was 18 ft tall and 700 lbs…
What year is your Vanagon? I’m the proud owner of a 1985 Vanagon with a Westfalia camper conversion. It’s reliable and fun to drive although we’re not the fastest on hills.
We spent the morning in Ballard tooling around the farmers market. Such fun! now I need to detox from all the yummy street food tastes, sights, and smells.
Have fun with the Vanagon. I so want one to play with.
love the ballard market.

Hi Katie, Happy Mothers Day. What is the Alexander Henry print in the photo? It’s lovely.

So honest! I wish I’d kept more notes like these from my kids. Great colour scheme too!
Beautiful fabrics and of course a great memory for years to come the handwritten special words just for you. Be Blessed, Mtetar
