Ok, I'm blogging today.

Here's life for the past...um, year. Cody & Amy are playing tennis, Shelley and Amy were in a show called "Curtains", and I sewed away, and I also did some bridesmaid dresses. I'm sure there were other things I did and I just might tell you about it tomorrow.

Here's the past month in whirlwind...

We weren't busy enough, so we decided to move. Actually, it's been one year to the month that we put our home up for sale in IL. Now, one year later, we are moved in and are soooo happy to be getting settled. I know, the cactus has got to go. The girls were in the musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and had a great time. I helped with the costumes. It was a cast of 72 youth ages 8-18. There were 7 performances.

Aren't my girls just beauties?

Shelley played the roll of Dorothy Parker and Millie spills a drink on her dress, tries to clean it with soy sauce and Shelley has a huge scream off stage. Shreeeeek!

Well, that's all we've been up to. Not much.

I'm Melting!

Shellbell and I made this witch costume today. She didn't want to model it on herself just yet. The striped stockings are my favorite part because it is a short dress and so the stockings cover up just the right amount of leg. (Amy told me to write that.) The total price of the outfit was around $20, the most expensive costume I've made in a long time. The hat and stockings were %60 off at JoAnn Fabrics. They had some good stuff this week.

S-M-R-T I am so Smart!

Shellbell is in the National Jr. Honor Society now. We always new she was S-M-R-T! She is so Smart! This is what brings the scholarships for college if you can keep that GPA high.

My best sewing projects

I realized that I hadn't posted my very best work....my Shellbell, Code Man, and Mini Zo. This is a picture taken in the Sacred Grove. I love em!
We love to travel and see the sights, so here we are on a small 3 year trip to St. Louis. We will be home soon.
