This has been a GREAT weekend. Friday night we had lots of friends over for dinner. I made two apple pies this week, the first being a regular pear and apple pie with cheddar in the crust (left). The second one was a sour cream apple pie (middle) from this website<\/a>. Justin’s mother in Iowa sent him home with oodles of apples from her yard and he shared the bounty with me. I gave some away, made two pies, and have enough to make applesauce still! Miranda made beef stew and biscuits and the others brought side dishes. Later we played the Action Movie game <\/a>with a terrible Dolph Lundgren film.<\/p>\n

Saturday we woke up to a rain and fog. Together with Nate, Miranda, Izzy, Jem, and baby we trekked to Boulder. I got some lovely brussel sprouts and baby squash. We went to Half-Fast subs<\/a> (wow their website is crappy) on the Hill for lunch (above right). I felt like I was back in school, studying for finals. But wait, I am back in school . . .<\/p>\n

We parted with the boys, baby, and animals down in Lakewood and met Amanda at Fancy Tiger.<\/a> Goodness gracious, so many pretties! We wondered in their tiny store for almost two hours, picking out the perfect fabrics and patterns. Amanda and I got fabric to make matching cats based on this free pattern<\/a>. Miranda and I ventured into needle felting and it is FANTASTIC. Seriously, so much fun and so easy. I made a robin and she made an owl<\/a>. We have enough roving leftover to switch kits for a second bird. I hope to make a whole forest of woodland creatures and hang them on a small tree for Christmas. By the way, felted creatures are a hit with babies and cats alike.<\/p>\n

(After Miranda posted her owl pictures I had to get fancy with my robin too \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

Today I started on my new calling at church – Young Women’s secretary! The presidency is a great group of women who I’m very excited to work with and get to know better. In this ward we only have YW for the third hour, so I can still go to Sunday School. Best of all, this means I’m off the hook for organizing the Christmas party. Sing Hallelujah!!<\/p>\n

Tonight we’re doing more crafts, this time Brian will join us to make a hanging body covered in spider webs<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
