Whats been going on this summer

For the past two days I have gone to workout and then come home a for the better part of the rest of the day I have put my sewing skills to the test. No not really, just letting off a little creative energy through sewing. I made this cute tote bag.
This is the inside of the tote bag/purse.
I made some baby boy burp clothes for gifts. Lots of babies being born.
Some flannel crinkle toys.

& some girl burp cloths.
Emma starts her little BLAST school on Sept 8. She is so excited and so am I. I start watching my neighbors baby 2 or 3 days a week. Starting tomorrow. He is 6 months old and is just a sweet little thing.

Steve is still running and has lost 30 lbs. I am still working out about 3 times a week and have lost 4 more lbs for a total of 15lbs. I look forward to my workouts and get as much as I can.

Being Primary President is very enjoyable although I am not gonna lie it has been hard. There have been long hours because of the ward slitting and all, but I really love being able to work with those children. It is truly a awesome. We had a Primary activity last Saturday. We did a missionary theme and the children got to make missionary badges, hear about a missionary that went to Japan and practice their missionary skills. Also they earned tickets that they got to cash in at the end for a "show". We watched the animated New Testament video about Jesus healing the sick. They got to get popcorn & candy & a drink & bring their blanket & pillow and watch it in the gym on the projector. It was fun!

Also last weekend we had a fun girls craft night. I got some fun scrapbook pages done.

The kids got to go to a friend's "pirate" birthday party. They had a ton of fun. Here are some pictures of Spencer with his "sword"!I have been practicing on Emma's hair, when she lets me, and I think I have french braiding down. Here is a side french braid. We have been having fun around here.
Steve got a calling last week, he is the 12 yr old sunday school teacher. He is excited about that.
Well that is about all for now.

Those sewing projects look great! You, me and Holly should get together and sew someday. I would love to sew with other people!

Congrats on the 15 pound loss! That's wonderful! :o)

I love seeing all the sewing stuff you are making. It made me think, hmm, I could do that. But then I take a little reality check.

YAHOO!!! For you for losing 15 pounds! And for Steve too!

Nikko, yes we should all get together. We have craft nights all the time. Also Emma starts school on the 8th then I can do it any TUES. cause I will only have Spencer. Also I know Mya is in school that day too so we will have to get together.

Ally, Shut up you can too sew. I thought I would never be able to but there are so many great tutorials out there that tell you step by step how to do things. Do you have a machine?
