So Much Fun

“So much fun, too little time” was our motto for this past weekend. Teena was scheduled to leave early Monday morning, and we had lists of things we wanted to accomplish. 

On Friday, Teena cut fabric for a second bag- Noodlehead’s Super Tote, one of my favorites- 

before showing the girls how to make monkey bread 

and whipping up pizza dough 

so the little girls  -

and their parents - 

could make their own pizzas*.

Saturday we quilted with friends and on Sunday, Teena choose sewing her bag over a trip to Solvang (I think she is well and truly hooked on this sewing thing. 😁)

It literally took all day, but by evening she had a gorgeous new bag and some new skills, including how to install a recessed zipper. 

When she visited last year, Teena didn’t even own a sewing machine. Since then, she’s made at least six beautiful quilts and started her bag-making career. Can’t wait to see what she accomplishes before next year’s trip. 

* We forgot to put something under the baking monkey-bread, so when we turned up the temperature for the pizzas, we set off every smoke alarm in the house. To the point that hubby had to remove the batteries and leave them out overnight. Not a good thing, but it’s going to be a great “remember when” story.
