Virtual Coffee

I'm so glad you came over for some (virtual) coffee this morning.
Yes, you are in the right place!  Notice all the new changes?  This team is responsible for it and when it's all done I will be sure to tell you more about it.  I'm just in love with the new look!  :)
****************************************************

So...have you been as busy as me?
This time of the year is c.r.a.z.y.
All the "end-of-the-year" hoopla...times 4!
Finishing up dance with recitals, finishing up flag football season and baseball season...
End of the year banquets and award ceremonies and parties...
Gifts to make, gifts to buy...

Busy, but a good busy :)

Since we're having coffee inside today I got out my vintage table runner I made a long time ago, and I was soooooooo happy to find this rainbow/fabric/heart banner I made a couple of years ago.  I thought I had lost it and now I can hang it up again!  :)

Since you're here for coffee I thought I'd offer you a mid-morning meal...

Getting the food out I knock over a yogurt drink that someone has opened and then left (full) right beside the food.

Of course I knock it over and I might say "shoot" but with a little "i" and we will laugh.

We actually had breakfast for dinner last night, so I'm heating up the leftovers.

Hashbrown casserole, boiled eggs, and bacon.

Do you want avocado on yours, as well?

Because you are such a thoughtful and caring friend, you ask about my sweet girl and her little issue.

We actually got a referral to see an OT (occupational therapist), and had her evaluation yesterday.

The good news is that her sensory integration dysfunction is localized to clothing/shoe issues only.

We will see the OT once a week and have sensory "homework" that she will do 2-3 times a day.

Our goal is to have her comfortably put on a pair of socks and tennis shoes in time for Kindergarten in August.  I feel happy and relieved that we have outside help for her...because I was at my wits end and didn't know what else to do. 

The OT suggested this book for us...I just ordered it from Amazon, and it should help us understand this a little better.

Thanks for coming over.  Sorry to see you leave so soon.

I'm off to do some sewing :)

Have a fabulous day!

Virtual Coffee

If you were coming over for coffee this morning, I would direct you to my little coffee station.  French vanilla creamer and sugar?  Yes, please!

We would go outside on the pool patio to sit.  The couches are full of laundry but it's nice out here in the morning anyway.

I would probably apologize about my yucky cushions, and then if would confide that I am terrified to sew new covers for them.  I've never sewn with outdoor fabric, and I think it might be a lot of work, and do I have to pipe them all?....  And then you might think, wow, she really talks a lot!

We would be looking at the pool deck, and I would be glad that I made the kids put away all the swim toys after their swim session yesterday.  And then, even though I am so enjoying adult time, I might feel a tiny twinge of missing them. 

If you were here for coffee and conversation I would probably lament over the fact that my baby boy is turning 11 this weekend.  I would probably show you some pictures of us in the beginning...

How is this picture almost 11 years old?

...and I would brag about him a little...:) hehe

I would show you the date that this chair has with a can of yellow spray paint.  You might try to talk me out of it, but all of a sudden yellow is my favorite color.  I want little splashes of it everywhere. 

After our coffee is gone and you have to leave anyway, I would drag you into my newish craft room.  I would beg you to sew me a new ironing board cover and curtains, and then you would laugh and say, do it yourself.  I would tell you about my new pinterest obsession and how I can't stop thinking about how to set up this room just right, and then I would realize I did all the talking today, dangit!

Will you come again?

Next time I will keep my mouth closed and let you get a word in edge-wise  :)
