Sewing Like A Pro!

If you will recall Makena got a sewing machine last year for her birthday. She had made a few things off and on throughout the year, but really just needex some guidence on getting projects started. When we found out there was a summer class for beginners she begged to sign up. So shr started her sewing classes on Tuesday. I have to admit, I was a little nervous to take her there and leave her, especially not really "knowing" the people who taught the class or the students who were going to be in there. I was relieved when we got there and saw a few people that I knew. This session they made bags. Of course she did great and really enjoyed herself. She even signed up for the second summer session in July! I am very proud of her :)


I stole this one from the French Seam's Facebook page because it had the whole class. Makena was happy because she wasn't the oldest or the tallest in the class!


This is her bag up close. She was being a toot and wouldn't get her picture made with it! In her defense she was sick most of the week (maybe that's why she was so grouchy ). She was determined to go to class every day no matter how bad she felt.
She says she is going to make me throw pillows for every holiday to put on my couch. We even picked out the fabrics we liked in Hancock's. I am glad that she has picked out a hobby that she can find useful throughout her life. You go, Kena!!

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
