Beading project

Last weekend I came up with a project for the my whole bead group. I cut fabric and Wonder Under. I sewed and turned and ironed. I used some of my mom's left over quilt scraps. They were cut form vintage flour sack material. Flour used to come in fabric sacks and moms would make clothes for the family with them. That was way back before cars.


The only thing my bead group had to do was to sew on the button and wear it. They turned out so cool. What do you think?

Yesterday I went with some friends to see the movie Mud. It was really good. The 14 year old actors did a great job. One was from Arkansas. The movie was made in AR on the Mississippi River. If you get the chance go see it.

I'm still working on my flower bed. Today I mulched about half of it. Before I mulch I put newspapers down first. It helps to keep the weeds from coming up. It's biodegradable and will have to be done again next year. It does work.

My sister flies down tomorrow and she'll fly back on Monday. We'll spend most of the time in Hot Springs. She wants to go to Garvan Gardens and eat at McClards, which has the best hot tomales. When she flies down she'll be on one of the last non-stop flights between Little Rock and St. Louis. Starting in June you'll have to go to Dallas or somewhere else to get there. I hate that. Instead of taking a few hours it will take all day. I can drive there in a day and it would be cheaper. As I've gotten older I don't like to drive up there with David by ourselves. It's not bad if there's others in the car who can drive too if I need to take a break. Anyone want to go to St. Louis?
