Projects

I really love working on projects. I love learning how to make new things. It's been great having Amy here because she is always up for it too. And she was conveniently located in Jackson so we were close enough to get together and do it. We were planning, before she decided to move, that we would look recipes up and learn to make new things. Guess I'll have to learn all those new recipes alone :(. Mike wanted to make some delicious chow mein yesterday and he always wants me to learn. So we made dinner together last night. I'm going to really miss these things. I enjoy cooking with Mike. I wish I had someone to recreate all these recipes for. It's just not that fun to cook for yourself. Sadly, I believe I like to cook to impress people.
Anyways, Amy and I went to the store yesterday to get fabric to make me a bag but I ended up getting enough fabric to make one for all the kids. I thought the kids could use them as church bags. The airplane one is Seth's. It fits his scriptures great. We didn't make one for Will or Chloe. You really don't need a church bag until your old enough to walk. I thought they turned out really cute.
Amy also made me a super cute apron, since we were going to be doing all this cooking, and I've decided I'm going to make some of them too. I think the bags and aprons would both be great gifts. So all of you reading this be prepared to get one of the two sometime this year.
This brings me to the point where I have to say I need a sewing machine and a serger. I think I'm just going to go and buy them. Neither would be a waste of money. I will be using them for the rest of my life. It's just hard because I don't have a lot of storage space right now. Under my bed is full of kitchen stuff that I buy because I have to have it. Then I also have stuff in a corner of my room. I guess it might be time to get my own place again. The problem with that is, I might not have a job next year.
Anyways, I basically just wanted to show ya'll how cute the bags turned out. I'm going to finish mine tonight!

Those are so cute! I had to go back and re-read to make sure you said you got the fabric *yesterday*! I'm so impressed that you did them so quickly! (one bag would be a 2-week minimum project for me :D)
