I measured myself then made a pattern. This is the skirt part of it.

I bought some embroidery patterns that you iron on at Hobby Lobby. I am embroidering six ladies across the bottom of my apron.

This is for the apron I am going to make Thursday.

This is a hat box I am going to recover with old music or old book pages and modge podge.

This a skirt I got at the thrift store. It fits now althought it is a little tight in the waist, but if when I lose weight it will fit prefectly!!!! It is so cute and old looking.


Here are some pants I am going to make into purses. The ties are for the straps on the denim purse.


This is the notebook I got for blog ideas!!!

I am back!

Wednesday...
...Anna and I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and Dad took us to the airport. We flew out at 7:30. We had two lay-overs, one in Dallas and one in Atlanta. FYI Atlanta's airport is the busiest airport in the world!!! After Atlanta we boarded a smaller plane and continued to Charlottesville Virginia. We arrived safely and only about 30 minutes late!!!  That night was meeting, so we went but didn't stay long.
Thursday...
...We... I don't remember what we did.
Friday...
...Night sing was canceled because they needed to have a men's meeting instead. Amy was going to wait up for Matt so we did too. Any-way, when he still wasn't home at 1:30am we decided to go make popcorn, and of course he came home right as it got done!!!! So we ate the popcorn then went to bed. We didn't get to sleep until after 2 o'clock!!!!! 
Saturday...
...we didn't do much.
Sunday...
Amy, Anna, Allison and I sang the song ''Break me Lord''. It was a lot of fun. 
That night we went back to meeting hall, after having lunch at Matt and Amy's, and had dinner. Then we sang for awhile, then visited, then went home, and to bed!!!!
Monday...
We were supposed to leave at 12:30 or so, to fly back home, but they a snow storm in Atlanta where we were supposed to be going. So  our flight was cancled. so we got to have Kathryn Martin over to Play NERTZ and have ice cream and popcorn. It was a lot of fun.
Tuesday...  
We went to Janice Williams house for a home school thing she does with the kids.
We went to the airport from there, we flew out at about 5 o'clock pm. We went from there to Atlanta. When we looked at the board we saw our flight to OKC was cancled!!!!! We finally got a flight to Tulsa. We pulled in there at about 10:40pm, we were so tired. But we are finally home and we got here safely.
