Wordless Wednesday - My Mother-in-Law
December 2, 2009
Over Thanksgiving weekend, my mother-in-law visited us from Kentucky.
Our practice is to put houseguests to work so they don't stay too long. Unlike last time when we went to the beach.
She spent three days making us Roman shades for our bay window, new pillows and a table runner.
This was after making several pies for dinner too.
The pies were delicious and the curtains and pillows look wonderful.
Tim asked me why I didn't do "all that stuff "and I said, "I don't bake; I blog."

Great guest tips! LOL. Thank you.
I am all for putting guests to work!! I mean, you did open your home to them...so why not?!

Come on by, stay for a while and leave a comment or two!!
I'm definitely going to put my guests to work next time too. They always stay way too long!
Can I borrow her? Really. Can I?
That's great! Happy Holidays and have a great Wednesday!
Wow, that is one productive lady!
Happy WW!
I will from now on say that! "I don't ____, I blog!" Genius!
I keep a running list of chores for my parents to do when they come to town.
I love your mother-in-law, she sounds like my mother. She will knit a sweater, bake two pies and have dinner prepared plus three loads of laundry and the rest of us haven't showered yet.. amazing. Of course she isn't a blogger..
wow I wish someone would come visit me and work like that!!

great pictures. i have an aunt who is great at making pillows, curtains, etc. i take advantage of her whenever i can. i have no patience to do any of it myself. happy WW and take care.
What a fantastic woman! And so cute, too!
Sounds like you have a wonderful MIL, I'm so jealous! Mine just complains about how small our house is and that we don't live closer to her! Yeah, like that's in the plan anytime soon! :)
We need to trade MIL's so you can see how the other half lives.
Amen to THAT.
I don't do dishes, either
great answer!! Bet it turned out nice!! Stop by
Hmmm...my MIL just upped her stay by 6 days (for a grand total of 20!!). My SIL said we need to have her babysit all 6 grandchildren by herself. Maybe she won't book such a long visit next time!
They always stay way too long!
