Sipping and sewing

So, yesterday was the last day of school for the year! Yippee! We celebrated with homemade fruit smoothies. YUMMY~ The girls love picking out the fruit and then watching it whirrrrrr away in the blender, along with some yogurt, orange juice and buttermilk.

Fruit Smoothies

Unfortunately for moi, I was a little under the weather yesterday, so I hung out in bed for most of the day. I am not good for sitting still, so when I am sick, which thankfully doesn't happen very often.........I feel super frustrated laying in bed. I had the girls pick out some cute flower fabrics and bring them to me. Next, they cut out some simple shapes, and I taught them how to embroider around the fabric. Simple, but adorable at the same time.

.........not quite sure what we will do with this piece......I am thinking it will make a cute pillow top for their room.......we'll see. At any rate, it was a good excuse to cozy up with my sweeties and have some fun sewing time.

That is so cute.

While I've been sick, my two have been more like predators sensing a weak member of the herd. They haven't let me sit still at all...
