there's no place like home

In two days I will be making the trek back to my home town of Lewiston Utah. There's nothing better then driving through Sardine Canyon in the spring and coming down the hill that leads you into beautiful Cache Valley. My favorite is when you drive down and all you can see is a patchwork quilt of fields surrounded by beautiful Wasatch mountains.
There's something about moving away that makes you appreciate where you come from. Since living in the city it's funny how you miss the little things; the mountains, the wheat fields, the quiet open road, and for me just jumping in a car and driving somewhere. This spring is the first time I think I've ever stopped and noticed the beautiful world around me, now knowing what I've missed I can't wait to go home and see all the beautiful scenes of my childhood. And for those of you who have never been; there's nothing like beautiful Cache Valley. Some might even say ... it's a little piece of heaven.

Before going home I made up a few little gifts to share with the women in my life. My mother, sister-in-law, grandma, and aunts have a little tradition of exchanging gifts on our annual Thanksgiving retreat (shopping spree), unfortunately I wasn't able to make it this year and because I will be seeing them this weekend I wanted to give them all a little something from me. Simple summer coasters to set on the coffee table; very simple for any who are in the sewing mood. I just hope none of them look at this before I see them.
