Le Tea

Last Saturday night was the work Christmas party. It was a lot of fun. I personally love dressing up so this was a blast! I bought a new dress that was in the words of Josh Hunter "racy" and actually made it less racy by sewing that piece of lace in...so it was a tad revealing. I love the dress and morn the fact that I have nothing else to wear it to. Any it was a fun day...I did 4 people's hair including mine..who knew I could do hair? I just decided to do hair and 3 lovely ladies trusted me. It was a fun night and I got a musical hulla hoop which I regifted to a niece or nephew. I'll admit I'm a regifter...what's the point of keeping something you know you'll never use? I'd rather give to someone that will use and love it.

Twila and I at the party...we're looking good!

Here is all the hair I did! It was fun...like creating something!

It's not a work function with my favorite kids...ahh the Weinmans how I love them! They are growing up so fast! Christina just turned 11! (Paula is 12)...they are young ladies but Christina still will cuddle up next to me!

So the two single guys I work with were gentlemen and drove me there. There was some drama when I locked my gift and dish (I made this awesome choc chip whole wheat with nuts and flax seed cookie cake thing...it was a good experiment) in my house and Ryan (not pictured) broke in my house vis climbing in his suit through my kitchen window. He was my hero of the night. This is Craig who saved my birthday by breaking in to a house late at night to get my cell phone so I could get my birthday calls. Anyway, Craig has left and is preparing to serve in Mozambique.

The party ended early and I was bored so I took pictures of myself. (Does that make me vain?) Yes you can give me a camera and I can entertain myself for hours.

(I call this Corey the Afghan )

So yeah it was fun. Ok so Le Tea is the Chinese Dance from the Nutcracker which Jesse inspired me to listen today...It's my favorite movement...well at least musically.

How I spent my Saturdays this fall.

This was my first quilt for my almost 3 year old niece Izzy.

The is my second quilt, I put a lot more into it....because of the fact it's for a baby - not that I like this niece more. It's for my newest niece, Zoe...who I actually haven't met yet.

This fall I quilted most Saturdays from 2-6pm with Kathy Olsen, a lady who lives here. It was so much fun! So fun that this spring I'm starting my own quilt! I even got my first sewing machine for Christmas...Oh the fun I will have! I have one more baby quit in the making...it's for Stacey and Derek Williams. She was my mentor here and they are headed to Myanmar this summer.
