Projects

Mark has been bugging me for 4 years to figure out how to use his Grandma Leonard's old sewing machine. The thing intimidated the heck out of me because it was literally made in the 60's. It's the same kind my mom learned how to sew on. Here's what it looks like.

Now I can sew very basic things, but I am definitely not a seamstress, so it freaked me out. He ordered an owner's manual copyright of 1964!!! I have quite a few sewing projects I have been wanting to do and I need to get working on Sam's stocking or else he will be the only one without a stocking on Christmas day. Anyway, I have been wanting to make something to go around Rex's toddler bed that we got for $5 at a garage sale. (I know we are totally cheap) So I finally sat down and read the manual and worked on mastering the machine. I was so pleasantly surprised! It works good and I figured it out with no problem. I was able to get Rex's bed stuff done in just a few days. I was very proud and had to take a picture. Now on to the stocking and quiet book for church. Thanks, Grandma Leonard!

Also, here's a couple of cute pics of Sam yesterday. One in Rex's sunglasses and the other is after I did his hair. He was giving me the funniest look I tried to capture it, this is pretty similar. It looked like he was thinking, "What are you doing to me mommy?" I guess he didn't like the mohawk?!
