I know I know . . .

. . . . I'm sure you all are getting tired of hearing about my sewing projects, but I'm so excited about actually enjoying to sew after trying so many years and flopping . . . so please bear with me. This time I got to repair some pants for Emily. In the past these would just sit in her closet because the pants were gargantuan on her. I honestly think the pants got mislabeled. I was going to pull out the elastic and fit them to Emily's waist but the company sewed the elastic all the way around attached to the pants so I couldn't do that. So I "cinched" up each side of the waist and also cut off the pants and made a new hem because they were so long. Now she can wear this ADORABLE vest, shirt, and pants . . .

I tried to tuck the shirt in but it keeps coming out . . . so the picture looks a little sloppy. Emily enjoyed coloring this morning before school:
Last night my sweet hubby brought me flowers. They are so pretty. Thanks Joe!!!!I went to bed at 9:00 last night which is really early for me. I had a terrible headache . . . and was emotionally drained yesterday. Our friend Karen lost her husband suddenly Tuesday night and I couldn't stop thinking about them yesterday. Brad was only 33 years old. He leaves behind his sweet wife Karen and their two precious boys: Philip and Evan. Please lift this family up in your prayers. They will need it in the days and years to come.
