Grandma Cowman


We have been able to travel to Pocatello a lot the past year to visit Grandma Cowman since Grandpa is in the Veterans center. She absolutely loves her great grandboys and the great grandboys love their "Double G!"

Sewing???

I want to be a sewer. My MIL has taught me to sew a few things and with her guidance and her super nice sewing machine I have succeeded in making an apron and a skirt. I have also (by myself) made a bag, and a few rag quilts. I went to a sewing class once when I was in high school and swore I would never return. I left crying because I could sew a straight line. Am I a perfectionist? I didn't think so but I guess some things just drive me crazy. My mom took Shannon and I to a binding class here in town. I should have remembered how I felt from my first sewing class that I left crying from and saved myself the frustration. I guess I will keep trying and little by little I might become a sewer.

Check out how our bindings turned out... Good thing these projects were just practice because none of them turned out how they were supposed to.
