Homemaking Skills 101

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
THE DAYS I NEVER THOUGHT WOULD COME HAVE NOW ARRIVED!

I have been cooking and sewing and learning to be crafty!
(Sounds like Catherine doesn't it? But no! This is me! I promise. Seriously.)

But yeah I've been sewing up my old pants and shirts. I'm improving at it too!
I might even making a new scripture case or something....

I also want to take up crocheting. I need something to do when I watch NEW movies.
Sudoku is good for movies that I have seen before, but not new ones.

And I have been cooking and baking =D

Exhibit A:

Mom's tasty pasta salad.

Up close view:

I promise it is delicious! I ate all of it in 2 sittings, for dinner last night and for breakfast this morning. It is just THAT good. And cold, which is perfect for this hot weather we've had lately.

Exhibit B: Muffins! Blueberry and chocolate! (Aka the best kinds)

I love muffins!

NO I REALLY LOVE MUFFINS!

And milk =D

You can ask Nikki, I was talking about milk all the way too and from the library.

Oh yeah, and I am starting Jane Erye and Sense and Sensibility.

And thus begins my adventures of developing my homemaking skills.

I think next I am going to try mom's amazing chili and homemade macaroni and cheese.

I can't wait! =D

I had a dream about
theme parks, back massages,
salmon (yum!), chocolate
and a rampaging train.
Awesome huh?

For the Record

Albert and Bekah showed up at my doorstep this evening as a surprise visit. Also Bekah hadn't eaten anything in hours and Albert's apartment was being cleaned. So I got to actually use my pot and mac n' cheese and cups and silverware =D As odd as it sounds, it made me very excited!


All the same we enjoyed a lovely dinner and then watched Kronk's New Groove (Bekah hadn't seen it). And let me tell you, Bekah is awesome! She comes off rather chill at first but she is just as goofy and fun as our family. I had a great time chatting it up with them and swapping crazy stories. So for all the rest of the family, I'm giving you my word that she is, as Aaron would say, AWESOME SAUCE! (Sorry, I had to brag on her). She's really sweet and I completely approve. =]

In other news, I did my first ever sewing job as a college student. =D (And I know it won't be my last)

See? Sad thing is, I'm not even sure how those broke.
Poor sewing job I guess.

But I was ready for my work! Even turned on Toy Story 3 to watch while I worked.

One side completed, one to go!

Can you even tell that I fixed it? =D

This one is a tad more noticeable...

But hey I'm still learning =]

And for the record, I only stabbed myself once. =D
(I am proud of that fact)

Here's my handy dandy sewing kit given to me by no other than my fabulous mother! =D

Yup so there's some adventure for you. Is anyone else scared of sewing machines? (They don't like me.....O.o)

Off to bed now,
TTFN!
