More new firsts

Remember when I posted about these fabrics?  I finally was able to complete one of the two projects yesterday.  I had another new first for me, cutting out a project with a “real” pattern.  I can’t tell you how many times I have watched my Mom do this.  It was quite fun.

I couldn’t wait to share this with y’all that I just snapped a quick picture of the finished project running out the door.  I plan on “modeling” this for the full affect.  This was a SUPER easy project. I will admit, I was nervous about making something “real” without my Mom watching me.

I thoroughly enjoyed sewing this project.  It was great being able to start and finish this in just a few hours.  I had no idea how long it would take me make it.  I was please to see I could make these in just a couple of hours.  Krista is getting one as well for Christmas, in the other fabric.  I think I might make Mom one too after learning how quickly I can whip it up.  So much fun!

In my last post, I mentioned a new first for me, to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving as well as be in charge of the meal.  Well, guess what.  I learned Saturday afternoon, not only will I be cooking the meal, it will be at our house!  Yikes!  This is good and bad.  I’m glad I don’t have to travel with everything I was going to make and try to cook in someone else’s kitchen that I do not know my way around, but it’s going to be harder to leave for Hartselle when we want to that evening.  Wish me luck!  I’m already thinking about this 24/7!

I did my first solo Thanksgiving meal 2 weeks after moving into our new house! Stress! The key was to have all the casseroles and desserts pre-made and ready to be popped in the oven. I got up and did turkey that morning, and when it was done, stuck in all the casseroles to warm. Good luck to you!
