first i want to say a big happy mother’s day to my beautiful mommy.  i love you, and i wish that i was with you on sunday, and well…everyday:)  and to all those mother’s out there that constantly inspire me.  my sister’s heather and jamie.  thank you heather for gifting me with two sweet nieces that i love more than i could have ever imagined. and jamie, i couldn’t be more happy to wish you “happy mother’s day” this year.  to have been able to witness your miracle as it unfolded, i have been truly blessed.  i love you both!

my beautiful friends.  thanks for being there, shoulders to cry on, hugs given, and advice sought.  and of course all the laughter.

my boys, for making me a mommy.  my life began with you.

and now on to a new friend.  a couple of weeks ago, i was at the mall with my boys.  i know, you say, “the mall???”  i seriously hadn’t been brave enough in atleast 6 months to take them into that crazy place.  but here we were.  i was denim hungry, and i wasn’t letting two crazy animals to stand in my way.

they were really pretty well behaved, and so i was rewarding them with some playtime in the kid area.  all of a sudden this adorable mommy came and sat down beside me.  one of the first things i noticed (after how stinkin’ cute her baby was:) was that she had the cutest baby sling made out of AMY BUTLER fabric!  i couldn’t help but compliment her.    and so began a friendship.  in a ten minute conversation we had determined that:

1. she loved fabric as much as i do…okay, she’s obsessed just like me:)

2. her 3 year old is named dylan….just like mine:)

3. she’s totally into photography…are you getting it yet?

so i gave her my card, cause who has a pen that they can get to when they need it?  and she emailed me, even though her husband teased her about it:)  and we were instantly friends.

i don’t know if i have ever met someone that i have more in common with.  crazy weird things….i’m telling you it’s insane!  in the last couple of weeks, i have found a new super close friend…….that is moving away (like HOURS) away in a month:(

but i have a feeling that we’ll stay in touch.  dylan andre is pretty attached to dylan tucker, too:)

on saturday, we had a sewing night at her house, and we had a blast.  here are a few pics from the evening:

of course we made a mess, and miss scarlett was so much help:)

just a little bit of evidence of the craziness.  sewing and talking….not such a good idea:)  i had a few mishaps of my own, let’s just say that a seam ripper was a necessity!

here’s my finished product from saturday.  i should have taken it off and re-ironed it before i let eric take this picture.  i had been wearing it all day at this point:)  i’m pretty much in love with these seagulls…..i have yet to see rendy’s final product.  soon i hope:)

oh ya, her name is rendy, you can check her out here…could her family be any cuter??
