To start off my mom's day out, I got my very first sewing lesson from my super sweet friend, Erin. This summer, I picked up some beautiful fabric to make pillows for my very naked, white couch. The fabric has just been sitting in my closet, taunting me, until yesterday when Erin and I finally got together for a little Sewing 101. I brought my brand new machine (literally still in the box), so I could get familiar with all the bells and whistles. I started out the morning just practicing. Then we ate lunch, discussed my long-term pillow goals and made a plan. Since this was my first sewing attempt, I chose a simple, square pillow, with my least favorite, beautiful fabric.
I nervously squeaked and squealed the whole time, and Erin had to get my stripes back in line a couple of times, but all in all, I would say that my first sewing project was a success!
Erin, me and my pillow.
Thanks Cutshall! You're a great teacher!
At home. I love it!
She looks a little lonely, but she'll have some sisters...eventually. :)
Oh, and that's my silly dog, Tucker. :|
Once my project was complete, I raced to my in-laws, changed into my witchiest ensemble, and left for bunco. This once-a-month event is always a blast, and Julie's Halloween-themed party was no exception. The costumes were classic, and the best part...I won the door prize! I never win!
It was a great day! Although, I seem to be paying for it today. Braelyn cried for two hours before her nap, and then slept for a whopping 20 MINUTES! Oh well, it was worth it!
My crazy bunco gals!

For any Office fans out there (who watched it last night), I totally had an Andy moment while I was writing this blog. I called Casey and had to ask him, "Um, what is that expression when something has a lot of buttons and gadgets? It has what and whistles?"
Casey replied, "Um, BELLS and whistles?!" He then immediately began signing, "Gimme a break, gimme a break, break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast!"
i love your pillow! and i am so bummed i missed bunco!
Now just tell Casey (and all those other boys!) to keep their grubby heads off - and no drooling on it while napping!!!!
Steph I I love that I am not alone in my Office moments. I was at work with a co-worker planning a birthday party for another coworker and we both stopped and started laughing because we felt like the party planning committee!
It looks great! Congratulations!
Ha! I loved "break me off a piece of that chrysler car" Too funny. I miss bunco and I'm so glad that you had a great day! I love days like that! Also, your pillow is fabulous!
