Our little family has been busy flitting here and there on many a weekend during these last couple months. It’s gymnastics competition season (yup, we do that) and this season seems to involve more far-off travel than last. Much to my luck, this weekend’s meet dropped me into Erin‘s neighborhood, where we were able to get together. Yay! She and her daughter Kate, and Eva and I drank coffee (well, the girls didn’t have coffee) and talked in a cute coffee shop with a subdued owl theme. Fun, of course. It’s so cool to read someone’s blog and then get to realize that they talk in the same voice that they write. As lovely as you would expect.
There were presents–pincushions! Because let’s face it, we all could use another pincushion. There’s always room for just one more. The photo up top is my present from Erin–adorable Last Minute Quilted Gifts pincushion and Denyse Schmidt fabric to boot! I don’t have a decent photo of the one I made Erin, but she does. 
The half-square triangles were scraps I had left over from my mini quilt, and the other fabrics were more Pop Garden.
Eva was funny on the way to the coffee shop. I was asking her what she thought it would be like to meet another kid whose mom had a craft blog. She said they could talk about their moms’ Material Obsession. Indeed.

the talking the same way someone writes is dead on! i loved that, too. and there always is room for one more pincushion. i couldn’t be more thrilled with my new one!
i keep thinking about the praying mantis (hee!). thanks for taking the time to meet us – both kate and i had a blast!
