sewing class...

We had a great time last night. Kara, Christy and I made an attempt to expand our talents. I think we did well for first-timers. We can't wait for next week! The pictures below will help tell the story of last night's events.

Christy is excited that we finally get to use the machine (we had to sit there for a while and learn all about the parts before we were allowed to actually sew).

I'm not really sure what Kara is doing here...just being Kara!

This is where things got tangled for Christy. Her machine pooped-out.

In this shot, Kara is trying to help Christy trouble-shoot her machine (such an expert already).

Christy is either laughing so hard she's got tears in her eyes, or she's upset about the machine.

We were asked to sew a straight line and you can see that Christy's machine was not cooperating...however, Kara's new machine (thanks to Dusty) did a great job!

disneyland & downtown disney...

How can you go wrong when you plan a vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth? We were blessed with short lines, great weather, and a beautiful hotel. This brief trip has left me looking forward to our next adventure!

flip-flop no-no...



Stacy London and Clinton Kelly (What Not to Wear) are right. As much as I hate to admit it, flip-flops with a platform are not okay for a grown woman. I purchased my Reef flip-flops a while back. They've served me well for several summers and now I have to part with them. The "butter flip-flops" are too chunky...it's time to move on to a much thinner base. I have a pair of Rainbows that I love and they seem to be adult-appropriate. Oh, and I've also got a pair of Reefs with a "normal" sole. I'll have to get some more use out of those.

Can you suggest an age-appropriate pair of flip-flops? I am looking to replace these chunky Reefs...

Lame post, huh?
