Saturday was quite a busy day! My friend Frances and I decided a few weeks ago that we needed to have a sewing day (trust me, this is not as nerdy as it sounds). Since I have this new resolution (read the previous post if you are feeling a little lost), I really needed to get a move on some serious gift making. Frances, also a sewer, has a much bigger place with a huge dining room table...great for sewing and pattern cutting. Plus it is always good to have a little moral support to help figure out the directions or calm you down when you are pulling out yet another seam! So this week was our first sewing Saturday, or Sew-turday (which was named by my friend Will...but more on that later). We did some great work! Frances made a dress for her niece while I worked on a top secret project for one of my dearest friends. 
This is part of Frances' project. I am sorry I didn't take a picture of the almost finished product. It was adorable!
Of course, we needed a little afternoon break!
The day finished off with a little birthday celebration for my friend Daniel. Everyone was excited to welcome Daniel into the thirties! It was at this dinner that I learned of an extremely fun app called Heytell. I'm not really sure how to explain it....but just think about sending a brief voice message by pressing one button on the app. Needless to say we had a great time playing around and sending fun messages across the bar!

I love this group of girls and cherish the times (some as far back as college) we have shared together!
Now back to the naming of sew-turday... I am a big fan of naming events, groups, etc. (and yes, that IS as nerdy as it sounds). A few of these include the DFC, DBC, and Cages...I also love to give nicknames (but I think I got this from my mom because she does it too). So needless to say I was excited about Sewing Saturday (the original name). My friend Will (pal Rachel's hubby) informed me at craft night that alliteration is "so over". His remark immediately reminded me of this clip from an episode Portlandia that I watched.
And the best part is Will could totally pull off the bike messenger character!
Happy Monday!
