This past weekend we celebrated my birthday. Our daughter went for a 9 mile run with me, my hubbie and I went for a hike in Kettle Moraine and out for dinner. Then on Sunday on our long bike ride that was to be to Super Dawg, our son and his fiancee, surprised me with a picnic in the forest preserve complete with a birthday cake made by our daughter. What a great weekend. Classes are going well and Meaghen started on a back slit denim skirt for her new project. Sammie was excited to be finally finished cutting out her cousins' dresses and start sewing. I have been learning all about the new standards for shade safety. This is going to be important to the industry.

I think I may have found some beads for Jennifer's dress. Just need to order them. Found out she now also wants me to make her veil. Guess I had better get going on these dresses. I spent all day Friday shopping for my dress and finally found one at Lord and Taylor. It has passed hubbie and bride inspection. So glad to be done with that.
