This weekend I took B's machine and went to Sewing 101 @ JoAnn Fabrics. April decided to take the class with me- thank gosh, b/c I remembered nothing from Teen Living class in 7th grade. Once I got there, I realized I didn't have a power cord for B's machine- so they let me borrow the store's 'Singer' machine to practice with.
We were just supposed to play with fabric and the different stitchings- I call my master piece a Sunglass Case- ha! Robbie laughed when I told him I made him something, so Amanda, my friend from work, is the runner-up receiver of my gift.
I'll probably take one class a month until I feel I have any clue what I'm doing, but I'll be sure to post my first creation once I'm finished! :)
We also had dinner club Saturday night at Greg & April's- a little surf and turf, shrimp and steak. It was the night of the BIG moon, and even though we were on Mt. Washington, nada! I didn't see it!
Other than that- lots of family time this weekend. Rob's cousin Devon is in town from Canada and Rob's grandma, Normy, is actually in the hospital. She fell down the stairs last Wednesday and broke 2 bones in her lower back. She is actually doing really well given the circumstances- she is undergoing minor surgery today to try and fix her up- and then 4 weeks in rehab and she should be good to go! She is such a classy lady- reminds me a lot of my B! I can talk to her for hours.
I also got up early Sunday to take Bodie on a walk before we went to Uncle Buckle's for a few hours to play 'sticks' in his back yard. The weather here has a few good days here and there, but for the most part...we need more SUN! He is such a good boy!
