Weekending

As of yesterday, May 10th I have finished my last school day . As of today, May 11th I have graduated from the university. It is amazing that the commitment I made three years ago have come to the end. It was hard to start with a new life in a new place when we first moved to ND.  I did not attended the commencement ceremony as today is S' last violin recital in her violin group. It is so much more important to give S her opportunity, since she has given her mama the greatest opportunity all this time.  We spent our morning at home in our favorite pants and planned our day then headed to the nursing home.

As always, S played beautifully even there were minor mistakes in the music notes. As a mama I am SO proud that she is getting the melody in her head and be confident as she went.  She has overcome her nerves on the stages and sharing her music with others.  Within last year and half she has moved from a 1/4 size violin to a 3/4 size violin.  She has gain so many positive gratitude in her life and more will come!

The {hourglass patchwork tote} is coming. It has not being forgotten! As you might know that I took another detour of Tova madness. Two match same Tova tops were made last few days.  S' travel bag is done! I made few adjustmentSs on her bag and got few material changes in the last minutes. She is loving it so much. She stuffed put her travel fund, notebook, pencil case and a camera in it and I think a book, too. As I was working on the tote, S was doing some trick to show me how she can hit a ball with her hand.. oh dear...

I did a little more experiment on the {hourglass block without marking}. This time, I took the extended sewing table away and taped the washi tape all the way down. It works! But the trick is must go slow! Let me know if this works for you if you don't have an extended sewing bed.

All is well! Thank you for all the kind and sweet messages!! Thank you for all the great supports! Friends, you really made today a bright and good day here~ 


Life is good, let's carry on~
