The Big Day

Went a bit like this.

Lilia was up much of Saturday night due to fever.  She wasn't complaining, but she was terribly thirsty.  I snuggled with her as much as she'd let me.  First she was hot and sweating, next her little body shook with chills and she needed all the blankets on top of her and me close to her side.  A big glass of water was kept bedside to quench her middle of the night thirst.

Between the wake ups and me being anxious, it was a restless night.

I was out the door by 8am.  Kids were packed with remaining homework to complete for there stay at Tia Favias.  Bless her!!

It was about a 40 minute drive to Genesis Farms in Enumclaw.  Beautiful country sides, rolling hills, trees on the verge of cherry blossoms,  horses, cows, sheep and chickens, all the country fair I love so much.

The barn was decorated like I would have imagined.  Tiffany, Terri and crew did a wonderful job, all the fine details to make the day special.  Tiffany was sweet and greeted all her guests with big hugs, as if we were long lost friends.

There was even an old truck in the middle of the room.  Me and Alex will someday own a beauty like this, I know we will.

Yummy treats for breakfast, pastries, coffee and yogurt for those that wanted to be healthy (read not me).

At first we worked with the torch to melt solder onto our pieces while adding charms.  Unfortunately I didn't get pictures yet, but here's a picture of my work area right before I started with the iron to melt solder around the glass.  

I spent the day with an amazing group of women.  Women who I've only read about online via there blogs (Cindy, Auntie Joy and the ladies from 2nd Saturdays).   My colleague Connie joined me.  I sat next to Liz from Seabold Vintage Market, we yacked for awhile and then I realized wow, you are Liz!  She was very sweet and supportive as we ventured into the unknown world of soldering.

Tiffany did a much better job at documenting and sharing the Dream Girls 2 weekend on her blog, check it out.
