The month of March saw me traveling south and traveling east and traveling southeast and I had a great time on all the travels. The month started with my son's birthday, so we took a one-day trip southeast to Cincinnati to take him to lunch and to buy snacks. It was great to see him and spend part of the day with him.  Birthday celebration with Jack The next weekend was a little longer trip. My mom and I headed to Franklin, TN for the Nashville Needlework Market, and annual wholesale cross-stitch market. We are lucky enough to be shoppers for Persnickety Stitchers and we had another successful market. We shopped in almost all the shops, bought fabric and patterns and needle minders and scissors (and a few other things too!). We visited with designers and friends and had some good meals. I picked up a few things for myself including fabric, patterns, and a finishing piece. It's a very quick weekend with shops opening Friday at 4pm, but a very fun and inspirational one too....
