Destination: Claremont...and some other places

Friends, music, food, booze, roller coasters, chicken, Olvera Street, Little Tokyo, mall bar, Doug Benson, beach picnic, Long Beach, DANGER walk, lots of movies, driving, walking... Man, what an awesome trip.

Photo highlights:

One night while I was sleeping, Meagan and Aaron composed and recorded this.

Knott's Berry Farm: Aaron's very first upside-down roller coaster! Boomerang!

Weeee!

I remember loving this bridge when I was like 5 years old.

Wine and snacks + Laguna Beach = Perfect. And happy seagulls.

Signal Hill

Fabric Flowers

Take that, Anthropologie! I wasn't kidding when I said I wouldn't pay $40 for your stupid headband. I made my own. Now that I know how to make them, just stop me if you see me getting carried away with these little flowers.

I'm pretty pleased. I think I'll take myself to Copper Lounge.

Curtains? Valence? Window treatment?

Whatever it is, it's the second ugliest of its kind. Second only to the one I had previously. As long as we're always improving, right? No better way to celebrate finishing comps part 2 of 3 than having a sit with the sewing machine.

Yes, it's mauve. Shut up.

Run for the Zoo 2009!

Haven't done this race since Girls Scouts. And I think then I ran the 1-mile Fun Run. Now I've graduated to the 5k Fun Run. My fastest 5k since high school! And decidedly the farthest Meghan has ever run. Go us!

We'd run every day if we knew there was a free massage waiting at the finish line.

And then, of course, we got to see the rhinos :)

More Homemade Cards

It's that time of year again...

Welcome baby Natalia Sofía! And congrats Nohemí and Family!

Broncos Baby Quilt

Four hands, two sewing machines, one weekend = one awesome quilt. Baby Jacob will enter this world a Broncos fan whether he likes it or not. We hope he likes it!

Beginning stages: No project is complete without rick-rack.

Adrienne vs. quilt.

10 minutes before the baby shower, we finished!

It's a quilt, it's a pillow, it's a quillo!

Mom-to-be, Stephanie, and her new baby quilt. Every mom wanted one!

Apron

What should I do with all tis left-over fabric and those old jeans with holes in the crotch? Well this is what I came up with. No pattern! This is my first truly original design! All it took was some experimenting, head-scratching, and a little bit of cursing.

This will look fantastic over my house dress!
