So, Russ gave me an early Christmas present this year. He is letting me stay in California until December 6. We came to California for Thanksgiving and we had a wonderful time. We had lots of family around, we had two fabulous Thanksgiving dinners, we dressed up in costumes and went to see the new Harry Potter movie, and we have been playing massive amounts of games. On Black Friday, my sis-in-laws and I went to JoAnn's sale at 5:00am and we bought tons of fabric. So, after Russ left to go back home, Kristal and I have been sewing up a storm. I have never really done much sewing before, and I never knew how to follow a pattern, so Kristal has been my teacher and we have been having a blast. I am making a few things for Mirian as Christmas presents, and then a dress for me. I just finished making her a cute rag quilt, and now I am on to toddler dresses. I will post more as I finish. It has been a blast and I am learning a lot. Thanks Russ! I love you and miss you!

I love it Sweetheart!!!! Way to go!!!!
That is too fun! I have a fabulous sewing machine, one of these days I am going to learn how to use it. When are you guys going to come see us up here?
Emily, way to go that is so awesome. Way better than any of the quilts I have done. You will have to show me how to make one. Love Audra
Wow! I didn't know you had it in you. Actually, I did, but you were always good at pretending you didn't do that sort of thing so that I wouldn't feel bad. I love the quilt and can't wait to see more!
that quilt looks awesome! i have always wanted to learn to sew.
and mirian is SO cute with the rag curls before & after.
it looks like russ is getting a lot done...according to the FB pictures... while you're away too so i'd say this has been one productive & fun trip!
Ewww... I'm so jealous of you guys... Ugh. I should have made Scott drive home and the kids & I could hitch hike :)
Love the quilt and miss your face!
I just have to tell you how stinkin' adorable Mirian is. I love seeing all the pictures Russ puts up on Facebook. Isn't being a mama the best? Hope you guys have a great holiday season! XO
So fun! Love the curls!
