Have Hook will Travel

This weekend hubby and I drove up to visit family. On Saturday we took my Mother-in-law out to lunch for a belated birthday celebration. Then we spent last night and today with my Sister-in-law, Niece and Great Niece! My SIL is an amazing cook, and we were spoiled with an amazing dinner (with home-made cheesecake!), great wine, and a yummy breakfast.

It was a GREAT weekend, and a lot of fun.

Earlier in the week I posted that I had made a hat for my great-niece and that it didn't come out very well. I'm so glad that I decided to give it to her anyway. You must never underestimate the power of an amazingly adorable child to make a hat seem perfect.



This child would be adorable in a potato sack, but I was happy to see her wearing the hat and making it look so cute.

The drive up and back gave us about 6 hours in the car. Hubby drove and I used the time to work on some charity projects. I was able to finish up a fleece blanket that I started earlier in the week, make a matching hat, and make three bibs. All of these will be sent to Marine Corps Kids.


All in all, a really fun, fattening, relaxing and productive weekend!
