My First Attempt at Sewing.....


So last year for my birthday my dad bought me a sewing machine. I really had every intention of learning however things just really got away from me. Anyways today I was at my prego friends house helping her put her baby crib together due to the fact that they are expecting in November. Anyways I was chatting with her about my sewing ability or lack there of. And she says well let me help you. So she came over and showed me some basic things to get me started... So the first thing I started working on was curtains for the boys room.. You guessed it. Cars.. Anyways as they were leaving my friends little girl came up to me and said, "Are you going to keep working on that once my mom leaves" to which I responded "Well I am going to try, do you think that I can do it?" She then looked at my machine and fabric and looked up at me and said "NO"! Then proceeded out the door. So I guess she did not have to much faith in me, but I did get it done. Not the prettiest but with practice I will get better!

We'll have to have a sewing class at church where we can work on our projects and hone our sewing skills! AND... maybe even our nunchuck skills and bow hunting skills! :)

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
