felted stones

I made these today (instruction here). They were my first crafty project.

I took today off to take my mom to the airport and stay home with the baby. We had a little incident at the airport. Upon checking in, we were told that two of my mom's luggages were overweight. It would cost her fifty bucks for each one if she wanted to keep them as is. At the last minutes, she was scrambling through her luggages trying to rearrange. I don't understand it. She had more stuff when she came. All these new airline rules are really irritating. It would have been okay if my mom didn't pack a lot of unnecessary items. She had a bag of uncooked cheesy hot dogs from our house that my husband and I weren't going to finish. She didn't want to waste them and was going to take them all the way back to Hong Kong. I wish we didn't have to send her off in such hurry, but there were only minutes to spare after that whole incident with the luggages.

wish list

I have been wanting to learn how to sew. I have a sewing machine that my mother-in-law gave me, again she's my source of homemaking. I got some fabrics last week and I have a sewing book. Now I'm ready to make something cute and sweet. There are a few more craft books I would love to have. They make good birthday, Christmas, mother's day, or just any day gifts. *wink*
