i'm starting to get how my mom must have felt trying over and over to teach me how to sew. last night i went to my first official YW activity as the new secretary. it was a perfect night because i got to help the girls sew! 
they were making aprons for their moms for christmas. they were these adorable vintage aprons with even cuter vintage material, ribbon, and rick-rack. i think i'll have to try making one for myself :) anyway, after coaching for about 10 minutes, i had imagined flashbacks of how my own mom must have tried to teach me and muster all the patience she could to see it through - i'm sorry mom! :) the girl i was working with did a fantastic job but i had to laugh inside as she kept the sewing speed firmly in the slowest position (marked by a tortoise) the entire time. she also insisted on doing the locking and backstitching by hand (using the flywheel instead of the foot pedal) and counting her 8 stitches back and forth :) she was cute. i had a lot of fun with these girls and i'm so thankful to have the mother i have!

1 quick quips:
I know what you mean! The longer I'm a mom, I have the overwhelming feeling I should apologize to my own.
