What a weekend!

My cousin, Miranda, sister Christy, and I, went up to Mountain, WI, to get all domesticated with guidance from our Aunt, Lisa (Miranda's Mom). What a fun weekend!!!!
We started out at 9 p.m. with a knitting lesson...
I LOVE Lisa's teaching style, don't you?
We stayed up knitting until 3 a.m.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Saturday was the sewing day... and food...
Thanks to Lisa's awesome cooking, I think I gained 10 lbs!!! YUMMO!Christy and Miranda were soooooo excited just to have a pocket done!
But look at how awesome their aprons turned out!Of course Lisa's was the best, since she is an old pro :) I also made some reversible eye-makeup remover pads....
I am doing my part to save the Earth...one cotton pad at a time!Here's my apron...
It's a "Clothespin Apron".
Most people actually hang their clothes on the line to dry here...
This has already come in handy!
I got the tutorial (I used this word a lot thie weekend - in annoyance of everyone else) at:

FUN! Wish I could have made it...but work in public health is always super exciting - especially when you are collecting food for hogs during a swine flu outbreak! Exciting stuff.

You craftravasganza looks more exciting. Next time.
