Naked Neighbors

So how does one politely remind their neighbor to close the blinds when you are cooking/ walking around your apartment naked? I got home from work this evening and as my husband was preparing dinner we notice the neighbor across the way was at least completely topless and walking around her kitchen which lines up perfectly with ours. Needless to say turning on and off lights isn't enough to make one aware that their blinds are open. I am thinkg of leaving a note on their door but I also hope this is a one time event, and I won't have to do anything.

My Quilt

I have finished the top of my quilt well, mostly finished. I am planning on adding a border before I sew on the back. So for now this is as done as it can be. Now I just have to find fabric for the border and the backing and figure out how I want to finish it.

Sewing Update

My dress is finished. Sadly it will not be worn. Upon completion I deciced that more practice and even a class might help me improve for future projects. So here is the dress. So to help improve my sewing I am attending a class put together by a sister in my ward at church and I am making a quilt below is a picture of my super cute fabrics. I promise to post a picture once it is completed.

Zac's Visit in April

Since Zac posting enough pictures of the Dodger game and him tasting the ocean here is the rest of what we did while he was out here.

Here is Zac on the Rim of World, or at least the highway. We drove up through so of mountains because it was hot in the valley where we live.

Here we are enjoying beautiful Lake Gregory to bad it wasn't opened yet for swimming.



On Monday we headed back to the beach, this is Point Dume which is just north of Malibu.

After the beach which headed home instead of taking the interstate (freeway) we drove up through the mountains this time overlooking the San Fernando Valley.

We enjoyed having him out and hope he had a great time as well. Hopefully these pictures inspire other visits from family.

Dress Update

A quick update on the dress I have been working on. I have to sew the top and bottom together put in a zipper and hem it. So I am practically done, I think. I have had it tucked away in the closet for a couple of weeks now so I need to pull it back out and finish it.

Finally I am busy!!!

I am so excited after almost a year of attending my ward I finally have a calling. I know the anticipation as to what it could be is killing you so drum roll please......I am a team teacher for the CTR 8 class. I am happy to be serving in Primary and I think I get the best bunch the seven turning eight kids. The day I got the calling I was thrown in as their substitute teacher talk about fun. I had to prepare a lesson in 10minutes. But I get to be fully prepared for all of my future lessons.

P.S. Zac came out to visit this past week. So stay tuned for pictures. Although I think I might wait and let him post pictures first.

A New Project

I have been sick and tired of my dresses/skirts for a while now and I just haven't been able to find anything I like. Maybe I am too picky or maybe there just isn't anything out there worth buying. So I have decided to sew a dress. I found a pattern a couple of weeks ago and I bought some material on Monday and cut everything out now I just have to try and put it together. I have made clothes before but only a few things plus I always had some help from my wonderful mother however she is a couple thousand miles away now instead or down the street. So I can't have her show me how things are done or do it for me like she has in the past. So I will have to do this one on my own and maybe with only a few phone calls.
