Church Picnic and other things

Yesterday morning I got up early and did some sewing.  Jenni and Lovie have both asked me to make dresses for them to give as gifts.  Jenni's is for the granddaughter of a co-worker and Lovie's for the bank teller at the bank where she has her account.  I'm making each of them a smocked day gown. 

After sewing for a while, I went to an antique store near the house, that I've never been in before.  Looking for some pictures for my bedroom wall.  They had some fun stuff to look at, but alas, no pictures for me.  Next, I went to Thimbles, my favorite fabric store because they were having a sale on material and some other things.  Got some real cute stuff, including some Cat in the Hat flannel to make jammie pants for Eamon and Brady. 

Next I went to a paint store to find some paint to finish painting my spool holders for my sewing room.  I had started them with a can of paint I've had for years, but ran out before I finished.  They didn't have Dusty Rose or anything except black, red and white.  Then I remembered that I probably bought my paint at Hobby Lobby or Michael's.  I'll try one of those this week.  Probably won't find Dusty Rose again, because it's been quite a while since I bought it, but anything in the pink range will do. 

We watched Brady yesterday evening so that Amy and Eamon could go to a crawfish boil at a friend's house. Ed was at the fire station.  Brady is such a sweet little boy.  Aunt Jen came over and played with him for a while.  Amy said Eamon didn't eat any crawfish, but did eat a piece of 'chicken' (fried alligator!) 

So, today is our church picnic.  Some people probably wouldn't call it a picnic.  We eat our barbecue in the gym and then play bingo in the gym.  My kind of picnic!  No heat, no bugs, no sitting on the ground.  Of course, there are other things going on like the cake walk. And, there are bouncy things for the kids to play in and face painting and some kind of pretend train thing for the kids to ride around on.  Maybe I'll remember to bring my camera and take some pictures.  I know Eamon will be playing hard all afternoon in the bouncy things.
