Little Helen Homemaker

I got a sewing machine for Christmas and it still hadn't been touched as of last week. My friend Liz broke her right wrist right in the middle of working on quilting projects and needed some help. So, I decided this was as good as time as any to dive into the whole sewing thing. My friend Holly taught me how to make a rag quilt (a nice forgiving quilt for crooked sewers) and I did it!! It was actually not too hard and only took a few days. I got excited and even sewed Joey's pajama bottoms that he's been wearing around with big holes in them for probably a year now. So, I feel like a true blue homemaker now that I have joined the ranks of the sewing sisterhood.

I love it! You did such a great job. Now you can make one for yourself, right?!!

Sewers of the world unite! (That sounds gross.)
But really, sewing is fun. Welcome to the club.

Excellent! Way to go Katie!

Every story has a beginning...

Joey and Katie first met in Mr. Hawkes 3rd grade class at Valley Elementary. They became good friends in Jr. High and best friends in High School. Katie wrote to Joey on his mission in Tiajuana and Joey wrote to Katie later on her mission in Tokyo. Years later at the ripe old age of 25, these best friends finally fell in love... or maybe just realized they were already in love. They got married on January 22, 2004.

happy kids
