I never did get to the Wine Festival in Frankfurt last week. We took off from PHL and were about 1-1/2 hours away and had to return to the states for a mechanical problem. I was so looking forward to that trip too....I was with 2 of my very good friends. The only good thing is that I got to come home, had 2 xtra says off and got paid for the trip! I'm headed back that way again tomorrow. Hopefully!

I finally listed my Eye/Sunglass case on etsy today:

The End of May

Wow....it's the end of May already. Life is passing by at an alarming rate!!!!
I've been busy with work and moving Jordan back for the summer (yea!). My knitting has consisted of my little bags  and bracelets.......but that's whats selling. Hopefully one day soon I can catch up on some other projects I have in mind.
I'm in Brussels right now waiting for it to be time to leave for the airport....my trip home is running late. It was a lovely day here yesterday...and I forgot my camera. It's a very easy city to get around with lots to see and do. We had a wonderful dinner at Amadeus a rib resturant in the city .....I just love their ecclectic decor and the food was wonderful. And of course whats a trip to Belgium without having waffles...they are to die for!

I'm looking forward to my trip to Frankfurt on Tues, I'm flying with 2 very dear friends and there is a Wine festival down the street from the hotel that starts on Wed....I will bring my camera!

Crazy Spring!

This has been such a crazy spring......the weather, work, the kids, the husband, mom.......no time left for me:(

I've been traveling quite a bit...mostly to Frankfurt and Rome. That has been alot of fun because I've been able to work with friends.  Check out the cute duck family walking by the Main River in Frankfurt:

It was such a beautiful day to take a walk!

We took a tour of St. Bartholomeus's Cathedral which was built in the 14th century. Very beautiful!

I also got to spend Mothers weekend at my oldest daughters college.....it's the last one as she graduates in June. How did I get this old??? And my 2 freshmen twins are finished with their finals this week. It seems like yesterday I put them on the bus for kindergarten!

I finished an eyeglass case this past week, I just increased the length of my mini bags and did a kitchner stitch closing on the bottom.
The rest of my knitting has been hat orders and little bags. I have a necklace I just finished but haven't gotten a photo yet. Well I'm off to Frankfurt again with my friend Mary Jo....fun! Til next time Ciao!!!
