Mother's Day Weekend/wedding details? Slow Bee

Mother's Day gifts for myself!



Whew the weekend flew by! Friday I drove up to Albany and stopped by the shop in Cohoes. The people were friendly and pleasant but nothing hit my eye to buy . Then I shadowed my daughter as she registered for at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Invites for her Albany area bridal shower(shhh) are out so this needed to be done.


While using her computer this weekend a short cut to my blog is there so I must be cautious about surprise stuff.



Sat. we went to this shop in Saratoga. Oh- this place is fantastic with such a variety of yarns and classy projects . I browsed for over an hour while my daughter patiently sat. Could have browsed more but spent way too much already. Lunch was spent on a sidewalk cafes where we people watched, chatted and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Then the rest of the day more wedding details accomplished with flower vases, ribbons and candles purchased for wedding tables.

Liz and I toke her wedding invitation to get weighed at post office in order to get the stamps. The envelope is a larger size so finding pretty stamps was harder. She had to take the Forever stamps for the response cards beucas eof no pretty choices with prices changing today but decided on 2 of a pretty pink heart stamp for the invites . Total cost of each invite is about $1.50! They did not have enough so she will have to go back and get the rest.


I printed off the fist clue of Slow Bee while at my daughter's but could not get to it till late last night after visiting with my mother in Middletown most of the day. It is a good thing because got to read all the comments first and see people's pictures to help me understand . yes- This is going to be a challenge for me but I am totally excited about it. A few rows were started last night but my eyes and body were pooped so I am off to it now for a short period while DH is out and I can concentrate.

Nice haul!! Is it all potential shawl yarn? Bet you've already marked projects in that book to do!

Sounds like you girls had a great time together. Saratoga is pretty - I'm from upstate NY originally.
