Not much has happened at the sewing machine in the past few weeks and this is why...
After my last post with some of my new Fall designs I headed out of town to spend a week with my sister, brother-in-law, and 2 adorable nephews at the "Happiest Place on Earth". That's right...we went to visit Mickey Mouse and all his friends at Walt Disney World! I was so blessed to be invited to join the Wiggins on their family vacation and loved every minute of it! As we all know, vacations can be somewhat exhausting. Trying to get back to reality and life as usual has been a bit of a challenge. It just seems there are not enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished.

Another reason I haven't been sewing...
Last Spring a good friend of mine asked me to take on the challenge of running a 5k. Together we trained for a 5k race and accomplished our goal!! I decided to continue my training and keep on running. A few weeks before I went on vacation I decided to register to run a 10k (6.2 miles) and began running more frequently to help prepare myself. Another good friend joined me on this challenge and just a few days ago we crossed the finish line of the 2010 Tulsa Zoo Run!! My goal for the 10k was to finish in under 1 hour 15 min. With beautiful weather, good music on my Ipod, friends and family waiting at the finish line I accomplished yet another goal!! My official race results: 1 hour 8 min 42 sec!!!!! My Ipod was on shuffle throughout the entire race and the song that was playing at the very end when I needed that "extra push" was Tim McGraw's "How Bad Do You Want It?" Ironic? I like to call it a "God thing," and at that point I knew I was not running alone. Who knows maybe next year I will be up to running a 1/2 marathon...only time will tell!
All of this to say...I am getting back to life as usual and will be back to the sewing machine soon! In the next few weeks I will be sewing a variety of items to sell at 2 local craft shows. The first show will be October 30th at Berryhill Elementary's Pumpkin Patch Festival and the next show will be November 20th at the Jenks Church Student Ministry Craft Show. These will be great places to get some shopping done before the Christmas rush is upon us. Hope to see you there!
