Saturday in orange.

I have lots of parts and pieces cut out in orange but have yet to sew them. I did pop into the sewing room this morning to sew up these three blocks. Hopefully I can get some more sewing in later today.



First up today - We are headed to the Appleton Museum for a reception of young artists. Miss Emily had her artwork selected by her art teacher to display in the museum through Mothers Day. After that...... we might pop to PetSmart and pick up some new additions to the family. The guinea pig cage arrived last night and was put together before the kids went to bed. We had gotten the needed supplies on Thursday after school so it is all ready for 2 guinea pigs.  Pictures of that and them tomorrow!

The kids are scheduled to go to Grandma's this afternoon...although we'll see. They might want to stay with the pigs. Me... I need to get about 3 hours of work in sometime today to make up for lost time this week. Aidan had a widening appliance added to the top and braces to the bottom of his mouth on Tuesday... I had to take him back Wednesday and get one snipped that came off Tuesday evening. He has been pretty miserable this week with all those changes.

Linking up with the RSC Challenge. Head on over and see what orange is being sewn this week.

Aiden is in good company. My good friend's daughter just got braces this week, too. Good luck with the pigs!! Here's hoping that you find time to sew up some more ORANGE loveliness after putting in your work hours.

Yummy orange blocks. Love the color orange.
Hope Aiden is feeling better this week. He is lucky to have parents willing to do this extensive orthodontic work. He will be grateful when he is grown. I wore braces for 5 years. My life would have been much different if my parents had not made the sacrifice for me to have braces. I'm both most thankful and grateful to them.

New pets. So exciting! Love the oranges. Hopefully the new family members won't take away too much from the sewing time.
