Later we took our annual trip to get ice cream for Mother's Day. We went to one of the best ice cream places in San Francisco. Their product made from excellent local, organic ingredients and they have incredibly unique flavors (I tried the salted caramel and the toasted coconut). In addition, they use compostable bowls and utensils. What is not to love??

Another big treat today was having a little time to indulge in my sewing project. I've been trying to learn to sew and my first project has been a reusable bag (thanks to Hannah for being so patient while teaching me). Another friend of mine has a fantastically cool job with access to gorgeous, modern upholstery fabrics. He is able to collect and keep the scraps which would otherwise be put in the trash. I am grateful he shared a few pieces with me. You can see my first bag below. The stitching is sloppy, but hey! It is my first project.

What a great looking bag! You did a wonderful job. Happy belated Mother's Day!
You are so lucky to live close to such a wonderful sounding ice cream place. Salted caramel would have been my choice too. And your bag looks great! Congratulations on your first sewing project. Isn't it fun?
