{Pillows}

Remember these pillows? Sad, dreary pillows....

Well, my friend Chels decided she would be willing to help me make some new pillows to brighten up my sofa. The only sewing I have ever done was in a class in high school. Needless to say, I don't have a finished product of any project, and the pieces of a dress laid in a bag until I got married and threw them away. Don't know how I passed that class, but you get the point. But, we found the cutest fabric shop in Preston, and it inspired me! :) So, my first attempt at sewing went pretty good if I do say so myself.

I saw this fabric called around the world and I had to have it. It has landmarks from famous cities, and you know I love traveling. Those Russian building tops were just calling me.
And so was this tree......

Then I saw this yellow fabric. Fantastic color + fantastic graphic = fantastic pillow.

So now my sofa looks sooo much happier! That plum pillow on the right still has to be topped off with a big buttion in the middle.

Yay for me! I am no longer frightened of sewing machines. In fact, I want one.

We had a great Halloween weekend this year. Family and friends.

The weekend began with this..... :)

Krissy and Brad hosted a party where we ate delicious food, made carmel apples, and watched the jazz game!

Don't they look delicious??

Clothesline! Aren't we cute trees?

Sorry for the picture overload, but I just had to post pictures of everyones costumes!

I never managed to get Brad and Krissy together for a picture, but they were Bret and Mel from Flight of the Conchords. It was great!

The next night, on Halloween, we went to Liza's for a family party. It was a blast!

Ketchup and Mustard, and Grandma Melba was sunshine in her yellow sweater!

Update!

So Logan's test was a couple weeks ago. He left the house a little before 6:00 am to have breakfast with some friends that were taking it too. They had to be there at 7:15, tested until 12:15, had 1 hour for lunch, and tested again until around 5:30 pm. His poor friend Derek had to take it even though it was his birthday. YUCK! He won't know his results until after Christmas or so, but for now, we can relax a little. He studied so much that I'm sure he did great! Now we just have to wait...
