Our Family

Sewing Away

My good friend and her children have been here for the last few days.  She so graciously is helping me by sewing some costumes for our co-op day on the Middle Ages.  I will be forever indebted to her.  I could give her a 100 hugs, feed her peeled grapes and cook meals for her for a month and still not be able to show my gratitude!  I LOVE people that will sew for me.  Can you tell it’s not a strong point for me?  I made things in my youth but never developed too much skill in that area so I have willingly let others bless me with their talents. 🙂

They even tutored my daughter and she made a skirt in the last 2 days, did some altering on a jean skirt she bought on E*Bay, and fixed a belt.  Way to go, Serenity.  You amaze me and I love you dearly and I can’t wait till you’ll be able to do all the mending and sewing around here!

My living room has been turned into a sewing room with 3 machines whirring away.

 

An angel came to visit.

Today is our big craft/work day when the other families that will be involved in the homeschool co-op are coming over.  More pictures to follow in the days to come!

    I wish you could send your angel my way… ;o)

    I never could get the knack for sewing.

    My mom used to sew and I really wanted to. My oldest daughter has a sewing machine and my poor husband had to show her how to use it. I’m hoping she’ll have skipped my “no sew
    gene…

I love hearing from you! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
