Shopping in SF

A while back, Jeff's cousin Lisa (seated) and I were talking about going on a shopping trip to SF. Somehow, Karen found out, (Lisa...next time we have to keep the secret better! LOL!!! JK Karen) and she decided to join us. Since she was driving up from Salinas, she picked the boys up from my parents' house and delivered them last night.

The boys did great...my future daughter-in-laws will thank me...we caught BART from Union City by 10:10...and made it up to the City for some shoe/jean/top shopping and lunch. Karen is wearing one of her new tops...I don't know when/how she changed....

After the market closed, Jeff went home changed and met us for a little shopping (Jeff bought some stuff for himself also) and dinner. Then we all took BART home. Jeff had driven Lisa's car to the Bay Fair station and with instructions on how to get to 580...she made it home before 9 p.m.

All in all it was a nice little excursion....the boys survived...thank goodness for their Nintendo DS's and the Game Stop shopping...I don't think they are quite ready for NYC...

Sassy Bags...

Is it Tuesday already??? Wow! Spring Break goes by quickly!!! The boys have been at my parents' house in Salinas since Sunday afternoon, Jeff has been at work and WHAT has Sheri been doing?

SEWING!! WHOO HOO...thanks to Lori's help last Saturday, I set up a cutting table, coordinated some of the "fat quarters" and started cutting away! A while back, I found this great pattern from Lazy Girl Designs. I still need to go check out their site. It's super easy to cut, sew etc...the hardest part is finding the coordinating fabrics. Luckily, Joann's in Fremont has a ton of Fat Quarters and I got really lucky when I found a bundle of Fat Quarters with Asian designs...I am in heaven! I sewed the above four "Sassy Bags" today. I have material cut for one more bag...and I have fabric for about six more. Hopefully, I can get these done before the SACBC Bazaar in July!
