Sew Much Fun

I bought my birthday present this weekend. It was a brand new sewing machine. I am sew... I mean so excited. I have already finished a number of projects. To quote a line from Happy Gilmore... "My fingers hurt." When I lived at home I would use my mom's sewing machine. Not being able to sew for two years now has made me even more exitced and
thankful for mine. My mom first got her's when I was little becasue she used to make my clothes. It was the machine she taught me how to sew on. So I was thinking this might be the sewing machine I use to teach my daughter on.
A pair of burp cloths I made for a friend who is about to have a baby.




A pile of finished projects!






Here are the shorts I made for Paul Bunyan.

Everything Jesus! Ranch



A few weeks ago my Hubby and I went on a field trip to a ranch/farm. Here almost everything is homemade. We were able to milk a cow, pick greens for our own homemade organic salad. The next day, we went back, just the two of us, to talk with the owners and find out more about the ranch and their ministry. They blessed us with great conversation, great organic food, and raw milk. The dessert is organic pudding made with raw chocolate and avocados with bananas.
