...testing, testing...anyone still out there?

| love Bernadette's rants |
When I last posted over two months ago, the reason I gave for my absence was my missing mojo, and that was definitely an issue. However, I also have been traveling so much that I haven't had a chance to sew. Heck, I can't remember what day it is or even what time zone I am in!

| I may have misjudged the size of this puppy when ordering online |
How appropriate that my comeback starts with a
Really Random post as since last I've seen you I have made two trips to see
this guy, taken two school trips with daughter, visited the parental units with
my sister, and celebrated several family milestones.
 |
| learning his colors |
Did you know Pantone makes baby flash cards? Yep, kids these days are learning more sophisticated colors than just your typical red, green and yellow.
 |
| Happy Birthday! |
Leo's daddy would have loved his own personal ball pit when he was little! Such a clever gift to celebrate a first birthday.
 |
| great marketing |
Spotted this sign at the Lush store in Seattle (above) and this sign at my daughter's school (below).
 |
| yes indeed |
Did you know there was an app for that?
 |
| tuning our instruments |
While traveling with my daughter's middle school orchestra I got a kick out of their digital tuner.
 |
| celebrating my daughter's 14th birthday |
The second school trip with my daughter occurred on her birthday. Happy to see friends signing her National History Day shirt while eating cookies baked by another friend.
 |
| what the what? |
My sister and I had fun at the "magic box". First time renting from Red Box. It is truly a magical experience. I swear there is some guy hiding inside...how else do you explain it?!
 |
| The Real Thing |
Visiting the parental units just isn't complete without a trip to BB's for a shrimp poboy. We may or may not have also made a trip to Bozo's on the same day for dinner. If we did it was for research - comparing methods of po boy making.

| youngest now in high school; middlest visiting from college |
While I was away from blogland there were several family celebrations....
 |
| these three all celebrated birthdays |
.....not to mention Mother's and Father's Day!
 |
| too pricey for me! |
While shopping for Father's Day I noticed these matching swim trunks for father and son. How cute for Alex and Leo to dress alike while in Florida?! That was before I saw the price of the BABY swim suit. Cute, but not that cute.
 |
| just some of Leo's quilts |
 |
| hey there |
Leo has so many quilts that he has his own quilt rack. I don't even have one of those in my house. Tomorrow, I plan to publish a Friday Finish post (yeah I know...two days in a row!) that shows even more quilts in Leo's room.
 |
| see you next time |
Not only have I been absent from my blog, but I've been absent from yours. I've been hanging out on Instagram since it suits my lack of attention i.e. short attention span I can quickly check in to see what my friends are up to without getting lost for hours. I can't say things will settle down much around here until September so if you're on IG let me know your handle so I can look you up ;-)
If you've made it all the way to end, I thank you. Happy stitching,
