I really don’t know what’s wrong with me…
I’ve been in North Carolina for a week now, and do you think it has crossed my mind at all to do a blog post?! Oh, heck, no — and that’s obvious, until tonight. : (
I’ve been in the planning stages for two new podcasts that still need a little more coordination before they can be posted — but hey, that shouldn’t keep me from reporting on my time here.
When I travel now, I use an iPad (the first version, so no internal camera) and as much as I love it, it still won’t allow me to upload photos to my blog. So I’ll have to rely on WebGuy to do it for me… You got that, WebGuy?? Photos below:
This last weekend, I taught a two-day workshop at my favorite
store in Chapel Hill, Thimble Pleasures. I love everything about the shop and had a great class of students– Debra, Robin, Marnie, Barbara, Mary, Linda, Ella, Karen and Bev — who all played with FABRIC. I love to teach when I come to NC to visit my son and his wife, and of course, Cambria:

My days are filled with hanging out with her, and so much fun. It’s so blasted hot here that we pretty much stay indoors unless we’re running to the air-conditioned car and then running into an air-conditioned building. Ryan is taking me on a souvenir-eating tour of the greater Raleigh area. So far we have visited The Hibernian (pub food), The Pig (BBq), Dixie Belle’s (BBq), Daniel’s (to-die-for Italian, Ryan’s favorite), Morrisville Deli, Sunrise Biscuit Cafe, Goodberry’s (Frozen Custard), and LocoPops (Gourmet popsicles) and that’s just the first week. I have one more
to go!
We’re spending the weekend in Williamsburg, VA, home of our German Ancestors. I hope it’s cooler there — and there’s sure to be more souvenir eating and hopefully a couple of quilt shops in my future.
Here’s one more photo of Cambria’s new swoopy-do, courtesy of her new hair stylist: Me!

Oh, by the Way, do you happen to know what a “New Traffic Pattern” is? I saw the advertisement on the side of the road today, but I don’t think it has anything to do with quilting… : )
P.S. I’m breaking tradition with the giveaways while I’m in NC — my treasure box is at home, so I have nothing to review and giveaway.
They will resume as soon as I get home!
Are you planning to go to Mary Jo’s in Gastonia (just west of Charlotte)? It’s not fancy, but you have to see it to believe it! Sorry about the NC heat – it’s even hot in the mountains around Asheville.
I want to get an ipad someday, but i am waiting till it can do what I want;) I hope you have a wonderful visit with your relatives.

“Souvenir eating” – I love this term! And the concept too. Hope you continue to enjoy your precious time with Cambria.
What a sweetie your granddaughter is – 2-so nice you’re enjoying time with her and your son & wife. You’ll soon be wanting that Ipad2 with the camera to do Facetime with Cambria! Loving’ mine and the camera and photo features – esp. looking at photos from my camera. Enjoy your time there and safe travels!
