My first day in Mass has been really nice. A little exhausting, but really nice. My mom took me to this cute yarn shop in ton owned by a friend of ours. Penny wanted to take a picture of my mom and me with a gorgeous afghan my mom made for me!
Here we are in the yarn store! Isn't all of the yarn gorgeous?
Here is the afghan. Pretty isn't it? Do you knit or crochet? I used to knit and recently taught myself how to crochet. Hwoever, I haven't done either in a very long time! I guess painting and drawing took over. But maybe knitting again is a good idea for those moments when my mind is starting to race.
The colors are just so vibrant and so many of the yarns feel really soft. I have a thing for projects and jobs that are long and tedious. They comfort and relax me. And I know that eventually I will have an awesome product!

The Merry Weaver. I miss all of the cute little houses in Massachusetts. This one is especially adorable!
My mom and I went to a lot of stores today and looked around. I found this awesome chair in Pier One. I seriously want it!
During our adventures, I found an owl.
I also got to cook today! My mom decided to take a picture while I was very busy. I clearly do not look thrilled.
I made pumpin gnocchi with cheese stuffed chicken, a chunky tomato sauce, and roasted red peppers.
The gnocchi.

Now to share some of my mom's lovely plants on our deck.
Lovely flowers.
And the worm that I picked out today for the pot. Isn't it cute?

What are your favorite things to do when you go back home to visit?
You and your mom are too cute. And I could go broke in Pier 1 in the blink of an eye...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, "home" is only two miles from my house now, so I can't really address that one. However, I love your mom's plants. My mom and I are really into the whole outdoor flowers/garden thing, so I love going to help her with her flowers and she's always over doing something with Miracle Gro to mine (sometimes a bit too much, but I appreciate..)
Have fun back home! I think I would fly you to my house just to cook, I swear.

ReplyDeleteSo nice that you get to cook yummy food for your mom. It looks so nice up there, flowery and green.
I like to RELAX talk EAT and visit with my sister and nephew. Oh and my mom and I always hit up pier one, TJ Maxx, and Ross b/c they are literally 5 mins from her house and also my favorite stores! :)
I like to see Fisherman's Wharf in Frisco and just be with family. Been 10 years now since I've been to Cali!
