Brief Absence

I haven't blogged for about two weeks now but I am going to try to do better. I went to the farm for the 4th of July holiday. I talked mom into teaching me how to sew (it didn't take much) so on Friday we spent a little while at Jo-Ann's looking through patterns and then getting some material to make a dress and an Asian style top. We also picked up some flowers and had some lunch (and picked up some feed for the goats and chickens) before heading back home. But we forgot to get material to line the dress, so we went back to Jo-Ann's on Saturday morning to get the lining. This time Lucy (and Vaughn) can with us and Lucy got material (and a few patterns) for a sundress, a pair of pants, and a top. On Friday night, mom and I cut out the material for the dress (which is when we discovered that we forgot the get the lining). And then on Saturday, we went of the Logansport to Josh's family 4th of July celebration. Lucy and I spent about 2.5 hours picking black raspberries (and so our arms are covered in scratches and mosquito bites) in the rain. But, now I am looking forward to delicious jam and the black raspberry pie mom made for our family vacation later this summer!
