Mom's night out and sewing

Last Saturday some of us Moms got together and had a night out.  We decided to forego the usual movie and try something different so we went to Comedy Sportz.  First we went to Los Hermanos for dinner and it was good as usual.  Rosalie and I were the only ones not limiting carbs so we got to hog all the chips and salsa.  :)  After dinner we walked next door to Comedy Sportz.  If you don't know anything about it it's an improvisational comedy show.  It was pretty funny.  At least I laughed a lot.  I think the awesome ladies I was with did too.  I think I was the loudest though.  Before the show started I made some very nice girl sitting near us take a picture.  Because really, what's a blog without pictures.  So, L to R is Rosalie, me, Tami, Bonnie, and Felicia.  We usually have a bigger group, but it was a busy night so no one else could come.  Hopefully next time!  It was fun girls! 

Now, on to sewing.  I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to attempt to learn to sew.  Last night was the first night that our ward held their beginning sewing class.  Our brave teacher is Ann V.  and she's a fabulous seamstress.  I was excited to go and give it a try again.  Can I just say that I still really don't like it much.  The pinning makes me crazy because I can never keep anything flat and my seams are never the right size and they are usually crooked.  I know it was my first time, but I was the slowest and the only one that had any problems.  My machine wasn't sewing right (this is the machine that I just barely bought Em for Christmas!), my material was too small and I had issues keeping it straight.  Anyway...to say it nicely Ann was a saint to put up with me and all my issues.  Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to give up, but so far I'm not really enjoying it either.  One of the other ladies that was learning for the first time there told Ann at the end how relaxing it was and all I could think was that I haven't felt this stressed out over a craft project in awhile!  ;)  So, I think before this is over Ann may decide to kick me out, but until then at least I actually made a pillow case last night (and it only took 3 1/2 hours)!  I didn't take a picture, but I'm sure whatever pillowcase you imagine I made will be just as awesome as the one that actually got made.  Hopefully next month will be better...
