All nighter

Each season before market I pull an all nighter. It is never planned, it just happens. I get on a roll, loose track of time and ta da it is morning. I thought this was going to happen the other night when I had a big bag of m&m's and monster energy drink standing by. I drank the monster and had a handful of "Quilters vitamins" as my Facebook friends call the candy coated chocolates. I was in bed by midnight.



I was recently in london where all the buzz of the pending nupitals was already in full throttle.



I loved this when Diana got married and I wont miss seeing Kate get married. William and Andrew are the same age of my two oldest sons. My oldest son is marrying his princess this year, so I will be on the lookout for wedding ideas. Hmmm! Should I wear a hat?



Well tonight is the big night (no Gary, I am not talking to you) it is the scheduled all nighter and wedding viewing party.


I have my sewing projects lined up. I am actually making a quilt for William and Kate. (that's how I roll) Of course they will have to wait until after market to receive it. No sneak peeks! The Royal military are guarding my blog and sewing room (actually dining room/sewing room).


Not my sewing room, just a pretty picture...
Lots of bobbins wound with auriful thread, stack of Moda fabrics ready, let the wedding begin.

I'll be tuning in, too! I might be pulling an all-nighter, too, because I'm a night owl anyway and I think I'd have to be back up by 3:00 a.m. to catch the live coverage! Kimber

Nearly spit out my tea with "Well tonight is the big night (no Gary, I am not talking to you)" - so funny :)

I thought the wedding was divine! I adored her dress and Pippa's too. How sweet were the flower girls and little boys (forget what they were called).

I can't wait to see the quilt you are creating!

Kate's dress was beautiful! I loved all the lace and the covered buttons on the sleeves.

Have fun at Market!

Now wasn't the royal wedding a delightful way to spent some time? I was happily nursing my youngest child the day Diana and Charles wed....and I wouldn't miss the wedding of their first born for anything.

Gives us a break from our plain lives to enjoy watching a lovely girl become a princess...it was magical.

Happy Sewing

I was up to see his mother marry, and I made a point to show her the same respect for her funeral.
So I definitely wanted to see her loving son enjoying his most special day...
