Super Saturday

Today was a major accomplishment!!! I want everyone to know that I survived Super Saturday. I am the Enrichment Counselor in my ward and between my Enrichment leader and I we had less than a month to come up with projects, get things arranged, and pull all the the logistics together. Those of you who have ever attended a Super Saturday know exactly what I am talking about.
But...proudly I can say within the 3 weeks of planning I only had two meltdowns and three nightmares about things falling apart. Now that it is all said and done, things worked out great.
Lastly, I am really grateful for a husband who is so supportive and willing to do anything to help me, especially through days like today. Life is good!

I am going to be an Uncle

When I was in college my roommates and I would joke that if someone was having a girl you were going to be an "aunt" if someone was having a boy then that would make you an "uncle." Well, I am here to tell everyone that I am going to be an Uncle. My sister is having a baby boy in about 4 weeks. This is the first grandchild in the family so it is quite a big deal. I wanted to make my little nephew something so fun and warm for those cold nights... and maybe, just maybe, secretly I made it so he would think I am the BEST aunt ever! Ü When I saw this material I had to get it!! And since Shaun is always busy with school I thought this blanket would be a great project.

I borrowed Shaun's mother's sewing machine and away I went. Since it has been literally years since I have touched a sewing machine and quilting frames Shaun's cousin got me started and away I went.


This is the final project. My sister and her husband live in NY so I had to wait a few days before she could open it. And She loved it! YEA for a successful project!!

These monkey's are SO adorable!
