Beautiful Weekend

This past weekend was gorgeous here in the south.  It was so nice outside I wanted really badly to garden or even just roll around in the grass to prove I was enjoying the outdoors.  LOL.  I didn't do that, but the family did make efforts to play outside and BBQ a few times.  We even visted the Stars Mill Park so Jesse could practice with a new photography image.  Your supposed to take a still photo of the same thing over a few times in different exposures.  Then you can combine them into one photo later during editing and it's supposed to create a very realistic pic.  He tried this with the mill, but hasn't finished editing it yet.  I have posted a few of our photos though below from the day!



While out we stopped by our favorite weekend spot- Barnes and Nobles, and I picked up a how-to book about sewing.  I thought a easy read book with lots of photos would be helpful once I start to sew.  This book by Alison Smith looked like just the thing with all sorts of explanations on tools, techniques, and supplies!

I also started a new embroidery project.  I'm excited about it because it's a gift for someone who is expecting.  I don't want to give away the whole gift idea, but I have a little sneak peek below!

My 1st Stitched Gift!

Below is a photo of the 1st thing I ever stitched as a gift.  I did this kitchen towel for a bridal shower gift.  I chose the design because she loves stars and it looked simple enough to do.  I hope to post more photos soon of all the other things I have now been making for Christmas gifts.  They have been keeping me busy all fall!
