I just wanted to update a little. I've been kind of busy with the sewing stuff, I had a few projects to get done by a set time, so once I got those done I managed to get a pattern I am borrowing from a friend and made 2 bags. Which was also fun because last weekend we went garage sale shopping and found nothing, but stopped by my grandma's and got a lot of fabric from her, then decided to go by Terri's moms and got a good stack of it there too. So it was fun to make a bag out of the new fabric I got! I did get a lot of baby type fabric so it should be fun making stuff out of that!

Purse I made for Cara

Katelynn's birthday cats!

doll I made for Betsy's birthday!

I also organized my little sewing corner!

Aside from that Madison and I had a couple of playdates all in a week and were pretty busy, but it's been fun! We went to the Omniplex on the first day of school which was fun since I hadn't been there in ages! Then the next week we got to play with Madison's boyfriends, Seth, Maddox and Grayson! That was pretty fun too b/c it's been a while since Madison has gotten to play with just the kids without the girls there. Although she certainly loves playing with the girls!! Then later in that week we were going to go to the zoo with Mindy and Story but it was going to be too warm so we just went and played at their house and then went to McDonald's. I think Madison enjoyed playing with Story's new toys especially since we played outside mostly and they had a pretty good section for the littler ones to play at McDonald's so that was nice. We also got to go to Betsy's first birthday this past weekend! That was amazing because when Betsy was born she was one of three but because they were so early her sisters didn't make it. So to honor her sisters they had a balloon release at the party and I hadn't actually ever been part of one of those, so I thought it was amazing! I even got Madison to give the balloon some kisses before we sent it up! I know the babies had no idea what was going on, but as they grow and hear the stories they will appreciate it. :)

It has been crazy, I don't know what it is, but I guess with all the stuff going on around me, my emotions have been kind of crazy! With my reunion around the corner and all the kids getting older and Betsy's birthday party, I've just been kinda wonky! I think maybe I've just let things get to me more than they should lately. I don't know.
Anyway, that's all I really have to update! Take care, until next time!
