baby showering and updates...

Last night we (the Lund family) threw Natalie a baby shower!! It was really low key but fun. Kathy made pumpkin cheesecake and peach cobbler. It was lots of fun bonding with all the girls, and Natalie got tons of super cute baby stuff.

I made a diaper cake for it, and it was a huge success. When I made it, I was worried that it would be difficult, but it was super easy.

Maybe I'll etsy them or something. I think it turned out fabulous, and I had a blast putting it together. I need more creative outlets!

Speaking of creative outlets, I just ordered a sewing machine...

I know what you are thinking, "Clarisa knows how to sew?" And the answer is-not really. My mom, of course, taught me to sew when I was little, but the last time I touched a sewing machine was probably 7 years ago! I was pretty anti-domestic in high school. But I have been wanting one for about a year, I always wish I had a machine so I could hem my jeans, or fix the holes in Skyler's pants, or make the cute skirt I bought the pattern and fabric for a million years ago. And in the future I'd love to be able to make Halloween costumes for my kids. And anytime Heather makes anything cute I'm jealous that I can't replicate it because I have no machine. So we figured what the heck, and got it. It will come sometime next week. (Thank you free shipping on Amazon) My first project will be making a cover for the sewing machine. I got some cute brown and pink polka dot fabric for it. I'll keep you posted on my adventures in sewing!! And sorry to my mom and Heather for all the texts and phone calls you'll be receiving asking you for help :D

Other than that, nothing for us is really new. Skyler got a promotion at work, and we're trying to figure what to do with him and school. We'll be taking a mini-vacation down to St George for Thanksgiving week, and popping over to Vegas for a few days.
