a trip and a lot of beading
Hi everybody! So yeah, last week was bad. My heart hurts and doubly so for my parents. And I really don’t have a lot of sewing stuff to show you guys today. Because it’s just been a week of non-stop beading. Which gets repetitious to keep taking pictures of. But I do have a few things to talk about. Thursday,…

Didn’t get a whole lot done last night. Well maybe kinda. Finished painting my shoes, got the lowest ruffle sewn on.

We had a nice weekend, spent Friday evening-Sunday morning at my grandparents. I also FINALLY got Snapchat to work with an animal face: A few weeks ago Mema was ironing and ran outside for something or another… the cat knocked the iron over onto the floor and caused a lovely burn mark. They are having to get new tile put…
