What I did this vaca.

1) Dan & I made 28, 4 oz jars of raspberry jelly for Danielle's wedding. Tomorrow we will make the rest in 2 more batches. One batch makes 12 jars.








2) Went shopping for Dan today. We got him a pair of shoes, dress socks, a new belt, a black suit one dress shirt and a tie that I am returning tomorrow ( just the tie).

3) I went to Crafts Direct early in the week and bought two kits; one is for anyone age 9 -90 so you probably can guess how sophisticated they are but I have to sharpen my needle work somehow ...without getting discouraged.

4) I embroidered a pair of arm warmers I ordered from Etsy and will send them to my Mom. I was encouraged by how they turned out. Applique with felt I can do.

5)I took my armored motorcycle jackets to St. Cloud Tailor Shop to get some velcro added to keep the elbow armor in place. On that same day I exchanged a 7 for a 7.5 in this shoe. Aren't they CUTE? I can hardly wait to break them in.

6) I got a little work done at home and also spent about 5 hours at school.... mostly cleaning.



7) I made two no - sew blankets using 4, thin fleece blankets ( more like throws) that were on sale for $5.00 each at Kmart. I made one for Jessica ( Buster thinks it is his) and the other for Jamie. They are a perfect size... just the right length and width for cuddling with and not have any body parts hang out.


The weekend before break Danielle and Zach were home so we painted chalkboard pain onto Kerr wide mouth pint jars for their wedding. People will mark their "glass" for the weekend and can take it home ( along with the jelly!).






This is not my accomplishment but Danielle & Zack's.... they are making these paper flowers for the wedding and I think they are beautiful.



I'm ready for school again and ready for summer too! I hope that everyone had a good break!!
