Learn to sew!

We had a beginning sewing class last night. Tracy's mom Diane is a wonderful seamstress and she offered to teach sisters in our ward basic sewing.

So, our living room and kitchen was turned into a sewing classroom!

We first cut out jumpers.


Sewing machines sounded like racing cars as everyone got busy.

Even our old ironing board got a workout.

Theresa got immediately busy to make a jumper for her granddaughter.

Our biggest success of the night was Jeanne! She absolutely tenses up and gets very stressed at the thought of sewing. However, at the end of the night, she went home with a cute, well made jumper for Natalie!

Missionary Fireside

We had a missionary musical fireside and open house at the church on Saturday. Michael sang a beautiful arrangement of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief."

I was in charge of the Relief Society room for the open house. I am artistically challenged on decorating but put a table display together showing the some of the various activities we have done in the past year.

The sisters in the first ward made some posters and then we had a wonderful video put made by the Relief Society called something extraordinary. If you'd like to watch it, you can see it below.
