My Personal Interior Decorator-My Mom's Visit

My mom came to visit this past week. What a fun week! We did soooo much. One of the perks of living far away is that when people do come and visit it is one-on-one attention and very memorable. So my mom did so much to help me decorate my house. Here are a few things she helped me with:
my beautiful couch pillows (I love the fabric Steph helped me pick out!)
hanging my living room curtains
making a valance for Evan's bedroom window
dustruffle for Evan's crib
adding cute duck fabric to Evan's crib bumper pad
But no we didn't sew the whole time. We also did some traveling:
Amana Colonies-lots of fun shopping
Outlet malls in Williamsburg-I bought some cute baby clothes-see the picture of Evan in the blue sweater- $2 at Children's Place!
Iowa Falls, visiting Wilma and Karin, my old neighbors
visiting Amish villages-hence the picture of the Amish buggy parked at the grocery store
lunch at the Botanical Center "Riverside Cafe"
Indoor Farmers' Market downtown (Christmas Tree picture)

My mom never stops doing projects! I wanted to take a break for a short nap one day and she just kept on working! She really wanted to get the dustruffle done before she left but Sat night there was an Elders' Quorum Activity at our house for the BYU Utah Football game, so we hid in the bedroom and sewed! We BARELY had enough fabric for the dustruffle- all that was left were a few tiny little scraps- my mom is good at measuring! I've never seen someone sew as fast and well as my mom! Thanks mom for all the fun and gifts and decorating help and everything...
WE had so much fun and of course it was fun to see her and Evan interact!
