Wow. I didn't expect to feel so down after graduation! I'm very happy Darling Daughter is out of high school and going to go to college this fall. I'm just feeling rather melancholy about everything, I guess. Add to the mix that her lovelife is in turmoil (18 year old girls do NOT know what they want!). But that's what being 18 is all about.
On a quilty note, I was very pleased with everyone's reaction to signing her graduation quilt at the party. It is quite full of signatures. Now, I need to sandwich it and quilt it! I am just going to run a stitch along the seam lines for the quilting. Nothing fancy, just want it to stay together! She was very pleased with it. I will post a picture of it when I get one. I am going to have to start thinking of a graduation quilt for Darling Son next. He graduates next year.
The bags game was a hit at the party. One of the bags split, I think because the material was older. It wasn't a big deal, but I want to remake the one set of bags. My neighbor's daughter is graduating this week and they wanted to borrow the games, so I should work on them tonight or tomorrow.
I'd like to spend the entire Memorial Day weekend sewing, however we will have graduation parties to go to and we have some work to do around the yard. We are putting privacy fence up along one side of the yard where we have new neighbors. Our previous neighbors didn't use their back yard, so the chain link fence was enough to keep the dogs in. These people are out all the time and we need some privacy so that the dogs don't set off every time they see them.
