Shopping for Materials and Patterns

Tuesday Mom took us girls + Meda into town to look for patterns and material for Jessica's wedding. 
My mind always runs wild when I go into a store like Hancocks Fabrics. So many different things  I would love to accomplish, but just don't seem to have the time.
Meda the seamstress, maid of honor and friend! Thanx for going with us Meda, it was a lot of fun!
::lots of mind exercise::
After while there was only so many suggestions to make, so Joanna and I spent the rest of the time entertaining our  little brothers who were getting more bored by the minute. Fabric stores and little boys just don't seem to go together very well.
This is how bored we got.
"Please step to main cutting tables for service, thankyou!" haha 
Me, your blogger, friend and photographer!
Jesse our brother and mischief maker.
Have you ever had a piggy back ride through a fabric store?! Great fun, until Mom finds out! :)
We got all the material for our brides maids dresses and for Jessica's wedding dress.
First thing accomplished!

Candles and Sandwich Spread

Isaac and Meda were up here for the last few days and we had a lot of fun! Thank you guys for all your help!! We have been really busy feeding the neighbors 12 horses, 7 dogs and a large number of cats, not to mention the 7 - 10 that we had here. Yesterday Meda went with us up to Tucson and we picked out the material for Jessica's dress and the bridesmaids dresses. Wow, so many decisions, but believe it or not we are slowly getting things figured out. I got some pictures and I will try to post them as soon as I get a chance. In the mean time, here is a post of the boys making candles for a school project.
