My First Sewing Project!

One time when I was really young, my brother Izaak and I had someone who helped us sew aprons. I'm sure he would appreciate everyone knowing that, but in his defense, it was a guy's apron. Anyway, that was the only thing I had ever sewn before, and I'm guessing I didn't do much of it by myself. This, however, was all me. :) I was surprised it didn't turn out half bad. So here's the process and what I ended up with...


All cut out and ready!

Time to sew...

The finished product!

I really had no idea what I was doing, but it was a lot of fun. I kind of had to make some of the stuff up because I'm not sure how to read "sewing". :) I've decided I'm going to have to start another sewing project sometime soon.

Hiking Adventure!

This last weekend Tim and I decided it was time to take a trip to the mountains and try our skill at "mountain climbing". We decided it was something we are going to have to do more often. It's definitely our cup of tea! We had so much fun hiking that I think we're going to try to do it on as many weekends as we can. We only had to drive about an hour and a half to find some decent hiking places. We got some pretty good pictures which can explain the fun better than I can, so here you go...

Here's just a small taste of some of the beautiful sites we saw.

We found a nice shaded spot where we rested for a little bit.
It was super hot outside!

We decided to get some binoculars so that we coul get a
better look at all the wildlife which we did see.
We even got to see a buffalo...and no it wasn't behind a fence!!!

Until next time...
