I bought a sewing machine the other day because I was tired of buying pants that were way to long and then having to take them in to get hemmed. (the regular chores of a semi-short person) So I decided to do it myself. I've hemmed a pair of black jeans I've had in my closet for a while now and they actually turned out looking like they should! Pretty impressed with myself for the first time I'd attempted it. I got so excited that I took a pair of Alina's ripped jeans (that she can't wear to school anymore) and made shorts out of them for the summer. Yay! I think that's a pretty good game plan. I think I'll keep going. :)

I guess I've gotten the crafting bug lately because I've gotten out my knitting this week too. I've joined a group at church that makes prayer shawls for anyone who may be going through a rough time. Plus its another excuse for a bunch of women to get together and just have a fun time laughing and joking around.

The weather is beautiful today. Maybe I can talk Dan into getting the grill going for dinner. BBQ chicken on the grill sounds tasty.

Alina has her school pictures this week. I got her a cute dress from Gymboree with matching barettes. She also has her Easter party. She's so excited.

Grandma is still holding on. Guess its just not her time yet. Hospice is good to her, though.
