Let's sew at Christmas

Ok So Christmas is approaching fast and if you know that most churches are on their way to putting on some type of Christmas program. Well my church is no different. Our Christmas Cantata is this Sunday. There will be singing, speeches, essays and inspirational dancing to hold you over for the entire Christmas season. Well my cousin's wife (now my cousin. Yea!) is over the dance team in our church and she wanted to get wraps for her and the girls to where for the Christmas Program. So I suggest sewing something instead of just wrapping fabric around their bodies. Nothing complicated just something to go over their leotard. So Craft project begins. First we went and found some fabric she liked( of course we went to Jo anns that is the only fabric have everything fabric store we have here) Then last night we did some mock ups and I showed her how to sew for the first time. Now let me mention we tried to do this on Monday and at the church and I forgot my petal.( silly me!) So now today Friday we are going to try to finish.




We liked this fabric too but had no use for it Yet!

Yeah it was appeal lining

She ended up buying the green and gold. She didn't want anything to Chrismasy because she wanted to be able to use it year round.

This is the fabric and color that she picked out.

Ok I had already gave her the demo and now I have her practicing. She learned really fast.

While she was practicing I started putting the mock up together with some muslin. Pretty nice If I do say so myself.

Oh this is the actual fabric mock up. I didn't finish it I was tired and went home but we are going to knock it out tonight. Fun!

Let's Pray!

This Wednesday, I attended Bible study.( I had missed it the week before) and the pastor of the the Church really took a detour off the study paper and decide to talk to and support the teenagers and younger children that were there. It's funny because usually they are in another part of the church during this time but they were in there with us. So he brought them all up and prayed for them I was so touched because there were younger ministers praying with each child and growing up you really need that and I just wanted to express that. Oh the church is in Tallahassee and it's called Family Praise and Worship Center. Check out there website.

4Q emboridery Update

Just want you to see my progress. It's going along slowly but I will finish.

Random DIY

I was leaving Church on Sunday and notice this mail box when I was getting into my car. I just wanted to share this, I know my die-heart DIYers, craft maniacs and handmade crazies like my self would appreciate this.

Hey Steph!

My Oldest Bestest friend came in to town an called me and we went out for lunch. We have been friends for over 20years that's crazy. I love her to death and I am glad we could hang out on my B-Day week. We went to my favorite place of lunch Panera Bread Ummmmmmmm Panera!

Happy B-Day To Me!!!!!!!!

Ok, so today is not my birthday, BUUUUUT Friday was. Yea! Another year old. Thank you God! Well I didn't do much on that day. I went to cover a game for the 4Q. ( I won't dwell on it but that night every local team lost in the third round of playoffs bummer) But my best friend took me out that Thursday and my other best friend took me to lunch that Monday. It was a pretty awesome week. Didn't get to go to the Melting Pot like I wanted my funds were looking low, but fear not I will make it before the new year.

Ok this is called the xyz @ the aloft hotel in Downtown Tallahassee. It was nice but no one was there and I was hungry and didn't know where and how to get food.

So we took a few pics of the place cause it was very nice and then we left.

Lacacia and I went to One on One next. I have been there so I suggested that I go. He it's my Birthday why not!This is a tapas bar in Tallahassee.
The Food was so good I suggest if you ever in Tallahassee go the One on One.
This is the chessey grit cake and shrimp. Ummmm my favorite.

Some teriyki glazed chicken fingers( I think) and some sweet potato frieds

This is the stuff mushrooms I love this one too!
Lacacia had the crab cake. She said it was very good

Of course some candy smelling drink. I don't drink much so I took about 4 sips of this and order water and a sweet tea. If you drink you might like this. Who am I kidding I don't even know what this is but it tasted fine.

All and all a great night !!!!!!!!
