nice

Thursday evening Lauren came over with a sewing project--her machine was not working well so she came to use mine and get a bit of help as needed. We had a great time until we got the part of trying the top on to see if it fit. It did--sort'a--but it would not go down over her hips and it was going to have to do that once the one-piece jump-suit was completed. So we needed to start over. Found a piece of fabric she liked among my 'stash' and we started over. Then at about 10:00 she tried it on and the top was too short waisted (why could we not see that before?) Boo hoo. We toyed with the idea of altering it then but were encouraged by Karen to continue Friday afternoon.

The other part of 'nice' was a surprise Lauren brought me from Chris. He has written another book--very personal and very wonderful! I was thrilled. So I stayed up way past my bed time reading everyword. Friday I was really dragging from being up too late.

Friday afternoon Lauren came back and we successfully completed the alternation. It looked so cute on her--because she is so cute! And has such a great body! Oh, to be young again.

Today I went to a shower for Ruthie Judson who is getting married Oct. 16. A very nice luncheon shower hosted by her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law at the Guenther House (on the grounds of Pioneer Flour Mills--across the street from Blue Star). I guess there were about 25 people there. I gave Ruthie little sushie plates that I made for the occassion. They seemed to be appreciated.
