Recent activities

Any of you who follow me on instagram get more updates than I am sure you want to see on my projects. But, for those of you who don't all you need to know is that my life is kind of like a boring old woman- I go to work and I sew and eat and sleep and watch netflix and hulu.

But you can go to Sisterview.com to see some of my recent projects.  I'm trying to post finished projects on that blog and help it eventually grow my Etsy shop (as soon as I get things organized to promote it more.).

In the mean time, here's a recent project that hasn't been posted on Sisterview. It's a ruffle backdrop made for a friend and, although the ruffles are super tedious, I love how it turned out and I might be crazy enough to do another one again soon.

This project also made me now have a desire to get a serger one day too.  I borrowed the serger from our stake and now I want one. It doesn't help that it happened to be a Bernina serger either. :) 

Sisters weekend

Back in July, we had a short sister's weekend to celebrate Jennifer's birthday. It was the first time that the girls have had a weekend getaway without kids and it was wonderful. 

Unfortunately, we weren't able to have all of the girls there, but at least it was a start to doing it again in the future. Because Jennifer loves to sew, we decided to bring our machines and work on some projects. It was a blast doing that, joking around and going to some quilt shops too. 

We stayed at a Residence Inn in Sandy, UT and it was the perfect size for our projects too. My trunk was full from bringing machines and tables from Logan, but it was totally worth it.




Kelly was able to join us for dinner one night, and we were so glad that she brought baby Caleb along so we could all get some snuggles in. Mom also treated us to pedicures (and a manicure for herself), which was very kind.



I am so blessed to have so many amazing women in my life. They impress me with their talents and skills and their kindness.



Oh and food was involved too. Because who doesn't love food?



On Saturday, we also were able to go to the Utah Valley Modern Quilt Guild that Jennifer and I go to once a month. It was beautiful weather so we did it outside that day.








I can't wait to have another girls weekend with the amazing women in my family. They have all taught me so many wonderful things.
