the frenchy bag

My mom came to visit! We were talking on Sunday afternoon, asking each other what our plans were for the week ahead. I told her Rory was going skiing this week in Colorado for a much needed break from his business. And we both realized we each had a pretty open week ahead of us...and so she hopped in the car on Monday and was in Omaha by the time I got off of work!

We actually met at the fabric store right when she got into town and I picked out my fabric for this bag she wanted to sew for her three Harrington girls. Annika had found the pattern and picked out fabric for herself and Stephanie. I picked fabric by moda and I adore the bag. It is an Amy Butler design called The Frenchy Bag.

When I left for work on Tuesday morning the fabric was laying by her sewing machine, and when I came home nine hours later the fabric had magically turned into this bag. It was amazing!

We went to the Olive Garden Tuesday night for salad and breadsticks, went for a walk yesterday afternoon to the post office to send packages to all of the grandkids and last night worked on fabric flower bouquets while watching Pride and Prejudice. Followed by a late Thai dinner.

A girl like me could never have enough mama time. Today she's driving home and I miss her already.
