We've been busy

So sorry for the lack of posts & pictures over the past week. Grandpa & Grandma (my mom & dad/Dave & Susan) have been in town and we've been hitting the town. I also started working part time. Charlotte's had so much fun with Grandma & Grandpa and we've all eaten extremely well - thanks mom & dad! I have tons of photos and stories of our days, so stay tuned, I'll post in the next day or so.

One thing that made the journey down here was my mom's old Sears Kenmore sewing machine...it's 25+ years old, but still works pretty well! My mom taught me how to thread it, put the bobin in, and change the stitch, foot & needle etc. I do know a few things about sewing from a lifetime of watching her, but have had no formal training, so I need lots of help. So while she was here, I got a lesson and made my first curtain for the new house. It's about as basic as you get, but I did it all by myself with the old machine. I think it turned out pretty cute. It gives some color to the kitchen and matches the cute plate Shauna gave me (thanks Shauna!).

Upcoming sewing projects: add the same fabric to some kitchen towels and hem Charlotte's curtains.

Long-term sewing projects: bedroom curtains & clothes for Charlotte
