skipping holga again Thursday

:p I’m low on holgas to show but I have lots of b-day pics so those will have to do
:p haven’t mentioned it to M yet but when she’s in town next week we need to plan a holga snapping adventure
:p I haven’t mentioned it here yet but she’s coming in town to go w/ C, me, MW and K to Wine Enthusiats Toast of the Town
:p A wine tasting event at the Field Museum in Chicago
:p I discovered this two years ago and knew I had to go at least once (although if its cool they have on in San Fransisco so that may be an excuse to make M go again)
:p I have officially subbed out number 25 on my list Kayak Chicago with this event
:p C and I have been having little fashion shows for each other in our new clothes trying to pick out what we’ll wear to the event
:p We splurged and got VIP tickets, which means we get to go an hour early and get to taste the fancy reserve wines
:p Food will be catered by 35 local restaurants
:p I’m almost as excited for the food as I am for the wine

:p R’s party was a blast
:p It was hot but people did ok outside, we had about 40 people show up
:p R did really well, he was over tired but didn’t fuss
:p He only really cried while eating cake b/c 40 people in my kitchen/dining area is a lot and it was loud
:p He got over it and enjoyed the cake though
:p I think he enjoyed his popsicle later in the evening even more though
:p Thanks to everyone for showing, we had a fun time and R loved celebrating with everyone
:p This completes number 23 on my list…throw R a birthday party

:p Since the mad dash to finish the birthday banner and monsters I haven’t been sure what to do next
:p My brain keeps coming up with ideas for quilts
:p I literally have 4 quilt ideas doodled in my notepad
:p Not big quilts, baby sized or for playing on
:p He’s quite big now I wonder if I should rethink my sizing
:p I’m going to attempt to not start a new quilt until I’ve finished the border on two of my unbordered blocks to my afghan, and get another block completed
:p I half think this is possible since I don’t have all the equipment I need for any of the quilts I have doodled
:p but thats never stopped me before!
