Friday Favorites {Travel Edition}

Happy Friday!  Who's pumped for the weekend?  I have a busy Saturday but I'm looking forward to doing a little crafting, reading and quilting on Sunday.  Or napping.  Napping is always good.

On Wednesday I had the opportunity to head to Atlanta to spend some time at The Home Depot headquarters.  It was a quick trip.  I left at 7pm (after a 2 hour flighty delay) on Tuesday night and was back home by 10:30 yesterday morning.  I was able to meet the other DIY Influencers who will be hosting DIY and DIH Workshops in 2015. It's always fun meeting other bloggers.  It's also scary.  I'm a total introvert and this is way beyond my normal comfort level.  I fake it the best I can.  Luckily this entire group is fantastic and I had a fabulous time.  I'm glad I didn't chicken out.

Lots of babies means lots of handmade gifts.  I've been trying to work ahead on quilts.  I finished this quilt before the recipient was born. I think that's a new personal record.
