Weekends are made for everything!

Can't think of any one thing to talk about this morning... It's been a busy but fun weekend! Meri and I attended our sewing meeting and came away with lots of free fabric, sewing magazines and a challenge to show something at the next meeting made with stuff from the free table.

Now WHAT am I going to make with magazines??

But I do have the dress for Tiffany already made from free table fabric and the Easter dress that I just made this weekend for Meri too was made from free table stuff. However I don't like how Meri's dress came out. It's made more for a barmaid named Brandi than an 11 year old named Meredith... So... I'm not going to let her wear it for Easter and already have another plan in the works.

What do you think??
Ok I'm kidding!!! I actually found this picture in an ad in one of the many and various sewing magazines that we picked up this weekend. TOO CUTE!!! Neither is Meri 2 years old nor is her dress made out of paper bags... But the styling is similar. I'll fill you in more when I get more done on it.

Starting on Saturday, I was in a panic. I teach Sunday school to preschoolers and I couldn't find my SS bag that has all my stuff in it to prepare. I searched everywhere. Sunday morning I got up extra early and looked again, thinking I'd have to get to church extremely early and if the bag isn't there, I'd have to make up a lesson.. Yeah... How do you keep 3 & 4 year olds busy for 45 minutes and no lesson planned?... Coloring only goes so far.

Meri saved the day by looking in the spot I ALWAYS put the bag. Apparently it wasn't in the exact spot and was back farther than I'd looked.

WHEW!!! Crisis averted and day saved! Man! My little SS kids are cute! And being Palm Sunday, all the kids followed Pastor into the church with Palm branches and placed them in a vase unattended at the front of the sanctuary. It all worked out after all.

Yesterday afternoon we visited my best friend and her husband and she and I worked on her puzzle more. It's taking a long time! I can't remember when we started on this one! Something had happened on Friday night and the big corner that we'd had done somehow got scrambled. So we spent our time reworking that area. I THINK she got it for Christmas from her son, so if we can get it done by next Christmas I think we'll be ok...

Maddy modeled her prom dress for Ada, but mostly we just talked. I think that might be why this puzzle is taking so long...

Then to a card making party and 4 more cards to add to my stash! And believe it or not... I actually got some housework done over the weekend! I hope you're not tracking how often I write about that... But it really is a big deal.

And being the newsletter editor for my sewing group, I worked a bit on that. It's due in a month for this quarter. I got all the stuff laid out. Just need the articles now to fill it in. But the big part is done. I was asked to write a bio for myself as an introduction. I'll probably share it with you this week sometime if I remember.

Oh! and the big news! We decided that our usually skinny female Golden Retriever is actually pregnant after all! Her usual hourglass figure suddenly shifted sands this week and everyone in the house agrees... She's got some buns in the oven! They are due in 4 weeks so my May and June will be exciting!

Anyone want a puppy?
