Time sure is flying. It seems much longer than the 3.5 days the kids have been off school! We went to Orlando yesterday and met up with Emily's Daisy troop to build a bear. The kids had a great time selecting and building their bears. The girls made girl scout bears and Emily picked out a Cinderella dress for her. She named her 'Cookie' since she sells girl scout cookies.

After much deliberation Aidan selected the bunny with pink ears and promptly named him Long Ears. He had a $40 bear limit and did pretty good coming in at $38 and change. He added a sound chip in the paw - dinosaur growls and a scent of bubble gum which he rubbed all over and then popped into the back of the bear before he was sewn up with his heart. He also got a red sweater and some black socks to keep him warm.

Today I get to go into work and do the books and then work the short day before heading home and relaxing with some slow stitching. After a lot of binding the last week with the
Celtic Solstice and
Hunter Star finish I pulled out the Hugs and Kisses quilt. I have SEVEN blocks left in the center to quilt before I move onto the first border. So happy with the progress on this one. This is block 43 =).

Head on over and check out the other slow stitching at
Kathy's Quilts. I'll have a wee bit of slow stitching this week while waiting on back to back swim lessons Monday-Thursday. I hope to make progress on the Midget appliqué blocks..... the Hugs and Kisses is way too heavy to have in the car to work on in June in Florida.

It sure does look as if the kids had a blast! :) Enjoy your stitching later :)
Looks like your kiddos enjoyed their visit to Build a Bear. You're on your way to finishing up your Hugs and Kisses, aren't you? Woo hoo!
Enjoy your time with the kids being home. I always loved summer vacation. I still do. Only three more weeks of school here on Long Island, then I have the summer free. Enjoy your stitching.
Looks like the children had a great time, your Hugs and Kisses quilt is coming along nicely, I love the cat testing the softness of the quilt. Happy Stitching
Yes of course the quilt is all about the pet snuggles! So cute!
And the bear building is such a fun idea!
