A weekend full of fun!

This weekend was none-stop, and I loved every minute of it. Saturday my mother and mother-in-law met at my house at 12:30 to go to a sweet shower that my small group friends gave me. It was fun and as always I loved the time with my closest friends. It was such a sweet intimate time together. Hailey and Bethany I am sorry you missed the picture. We took it kinda late. You know me - I never think about pictures until the last minute. That is going to have to change when Gage comes. We had a nice time with all the babies. Thank you guys for doing all that work. I really appreciated every bit of it.

After the shower, mom and I went to get some stuff to get started on the curtains for Gage's nursery. We thought it was just going to be a day job, but mom was also teaching me a little about sewing so it took a lot longer than we thought. We started Satruday night, which was later than we wanted, and finished Monday afternoon. We had to take a couple of breaks a long the way, but I was very thankful that my mom was will to stay the extra day and help. She is a real trooper. She also explained to me that it took a long time because we made up our own pattern. Below you can see can see some of our progress. The curtains are done but I have to get a thing to hold the tie in the center, so it will not be straight unless I want the room really dark.

OK, this is my first experience in sewing. I have to take a picture of it because I was so surprised at how long it took me to get to this point. We had to thread the sewing machine, create a pattern, measure the matieral, cut the matieral and then we could start.

This was the end result, and I have to give all the credit to my mother. She is a wizard at sewing or a least figuring out how to making something out of nothing. Like I said before this is the finished product minus the tie in the center.
