I love spaghetti.

One day I was over at the Vaughn's and Sterling was eating broccoli and bananas. Bethany gave it all to him at the same time, so I was trying to help him eat his broccoli not just bananas. When we were down to a little broccoli and one slice of banana, I tried to give him broccoli. He grabbed the banana cramped it in his mouth. With banana spilling out of his mouth he raised his hands and motioned "all done". I love when little kids make a mess with there food and get it all over them. (I know this is probably because I don't have to clean it up but that's the joy of being an aunt!)
That was one of my favorite things Sterling ever did.... Then I saw this!



I love this kid and he loves spaghetti!

Memaw

We are going tomorrow to get my grandmother, Memaw and bring her to Sylacauga for a few weeks. Memaw is the reason know how to sew. For years she made dresses for us. I always loved the dresses she made but did not really understand how talented she was til later. It's awesome to go though her old fabric and find some that I remember as a dress.
As I got older, OK I was still pretty young, I thought sewing looked like fun. She was so patient with me and taught me so much. I LOVED every minute of it. Learning what a bobbin was, threading the machine, back stitching, and how to work with fabrics. When I think about going to her house I think of sitting with her at her sewing machine, cutting fabric, cross stitching(which is a different story all together) and eating. She was and is an excellent teacher and made it so easy to learn.
When I was 12 I got my first sewing machine for Christmas!(That was all I wanted) My parents got me the machine and she got me all I needed for it. She got me the stuff that she used and treated me like I had been sewing for years. This really made me feel like it was something I was good at and a big reason I kept it up. As much as I love to sew if it had not been for my Memaw teaching, encouraging and sitting by my side till I got it right I don't think I would love it as much.
Recently, when I started making ties I did not like the patterns I found, so we sat down together and took apart a tie and thought of the best way to make it. It was amazing to sit and see how her sewing brain works. We then made 6 ties in 24 hours!(Which was a lot)I love to sew with her and pick apart her brain on all her sewing knowledge.
Praise the Lord for grandmothers and there knowledge. God used her so much in my life and has used her to shape my future! It's great to know that God started planning for my future so long ago.

Easter!!

Easter is a big deal in our family. Every year for Easter our family color coordinates. We have done it forever. The girls used to wear the same dresses made by our grandmother. Now we don't go that far but we all have to coordinate. It's become such a tradition that when my mom said she did not think we were going to do it one year, all the girls said we had to. I'm proud to say I've matched every year of my life!
examples you ask?

In 2008 it was blue and green:

In 2009 it was brown and white with an accent color of your choice:

This year it was black and white. So what should the guys ties be... houndstooth, of course! I wanted to make the ties and my precious mom said that would be fine.
(NOTE: When you offer to make three ties don't wait till the last day to start, if something goes wrong you have no time to fix it.)
Any who I finally finished and the guys agreed to wear them. I made one for Alex too but because we were not together for church I didn't have a chance to get it to him; so it was my dad and Jameson in the end.
here is our picture for this year:
Here is a better picture of my dad's tie... Jameson's looked just like it:

I'm not going to lie, it's great to see someone wearing something I've made. I love to sew but when you sew something just to be sewing, it's not as great as doing it for a purpose!
