Tessa made me a cake for Mother's Day. I loved it - I thought it was so cute.Each of my girls made me two sweet cards. Neither of my boys (DH and DS) got me a card. I don't think it evens out, somehow. Tessa went to the local Farmers Market on Thursday and got me some candied almonds, some kettle corn, some dark chocolate, and a candle. That girl knows me well, and it was so sweet of her to that. I also got a larger memory card for my camera, and everyone made me a very nice breakfast. I never got out of my pajamas - which at this point I don't think was a good thing.
Dan and I watched the Survivor Season Finale. I must admit that I was disappointed. Even though I thought that Dreamz was not a very good person, it was still sad to see him prove that. And also sad for Yau - who trusted in him.
While watching Survivor I finished some mailbox love. I'm going
to send this to one of my Bad Girl friends. She's a quilter and loves Sunbonnet Sue. But she doesn't like handwork, and I don't think she has any SBS blocks. She's deaf and we've been IM'ing. She also lost her mother unexpectedly a few years back and still misses her. I'm hoping to make some more SBS's for her - this one went together really quick. I had started to do it on muslin, but muslin just isn't thick enough. So, I went to JoAnns and got some Kona cotton - I think this color is Ivory. Thanks Monica, for turning my onto Kona cotton. It is really wonderful. Carra has gymnastics tonight, so I should be able to get another block mostly done.

Oh, that Sunbonnet Sue is SO CUTE! I love the pretty lavender fabric. How many more do you think you'll make? And yes, the Kona rocks. I'm doing a retro applique on it right now.
I love the Sunbonnet Sue pattern. I have a ton of Sue pieces already cut out from my grandmother. My mom and I are waiting until our quilting skills improve before tackling it.
That was a beautiful cake. Glad you had a happy mother's day.
That is a lovely cake! Can I have a piece? My son made me a little book at school and a key chain which he has made me promise to NEVER throw away. As if I would.
That's such a sweet gift to make for a friend!
Love the cake! I made an apple pie for my family on Mother's Day. :)
What a wonderful MD you had! That cake is AWESOME. It's got I Love You written all over it (I like your counter top too!).
Survivor finale... OMG! I was SO disappointed in Dreamz. I thought I was going to cry! I had such hope for him and I kept telling him (though the TV, but I don't think he heard me) to do the right thing, that integrity is not worth any money! We'd been rooting for Yau Man from the start, I hated to see him not win. He is one class act and someone I'd love to know IRL. And he always cracked me up. One minute he was this wise elder, and the next minute he was like a little kid hopped up on sugar.
I didn't like the way some of the jury members spoke to the finalists in the final tribal council. Rude. Mean. Childish. It was terrible and difficult to watch. And now I can't wait to see the China series!!! I wish they'd do a series in the cold and snowy mountains. Let them build a cabin and have snow type challenges. Oh Survivor... I love you. Sigh.
Your Sonbonnet Sue is SO CUTE!
