Diaper Sewing Party

Yesterday Ashley and I met up at her parents house to sew diapers...what an adventure. First their driveway is 1/4 a mile long and all uphill and their snow drifts were horrible - neither of us could make it up the driveway so out came her parents to shovel the drifts so we could get up. Ashely made it - but I didn't and we left the car about 3/4 of the way up the hill. A neighbor came and plowed and so Allen (Ashley's dad) got my car up to the house. We pulled out the diaper making supplies and my sewing machine and Betty's (Ashley's mom) sewing machine - I thought a few hours would get us a few diapers - we got two made - Ashley didn't know how to use a sewing machine! I thought she did so I was glad in the end that we had lots of time. We went along sewing as Betty cut out fabric for a few hours - having a grand old time - we had venison stir fry and homemade cornbread for lunch (Betty gets corn from her parents farm and then grinds it herself - BEST cornbread EVER). I gave Zaylee a small taste of the cornbread and she liked it so much that when I took a drink she grabbed my whole peice and tried to put it in her mouth! After lunch Betty, Ashley, Zaylee, and I sat down to watch the bilingual baby video I had just recieved - I have German and Greek, so we decided to watch the Greek - what a beautiful language, after the movie we all wanted to learn it! Ashley has decided to teach German and Spanish to her upcoming baby, and I think I may get a few more of the bilingual baby videos, but I still plan on teaching German and Greek.

I've been trying to finish grad school - I have ONE class left and I will be done - unfortunatley when I called to start my class I was told I no longer qualify for financial aid..because I have one class left and Brian is in the military I can't get a student loan :( and the last seminar is 5 grand - I cried on the phone poor financial aid woman. Hopefully I can still start later I would hate to get this far and not finish. Stupid student loan hoopla - it makes NO sense what-so-ever!

Eventually I made it back to my grandparents had some dinner and went to sleep - all in all a decent day. Hopefully I will get some more sewing done today and find a craft fair soon so I can unload some of my crafty items :)
