Sewing Camp Ends…

Posted in Homemaking

…alas, my little girl is highly disappointed that sewing camp is over. (She also doesn’t want me to post pictures of the boxers she made yesterday or the “big shorts” that she made today. Apparently, that would be embarrassing???) Anyway, they’re cute. They ended the day with a big pizza party which was a lot of fun. She wanted to go to the next sewing camp that is in July, but VBS is that week. She decided that VBS was more important.

It’s hard to believe, but the Spring Reading Thing 2007 has come to a close. I was trying to think about what book I enjoyed the most this spring. I would have to say that I really enjoyed the Excellent Wife. Now, I’ve read this book before several years ago, but I wanted to re-read it. My new author is Elizabeth George (Christian book author).
