Working on the clothes for the trek.

I found this free pattern for bonnets:

Guess where I ate dinner?

Couple of guesses... crayons and olive oil.

Trek

So Trevor and I have volunteered to be parents on a trek this summer and I need to start sewing our pioneer attire. I've never been on one before and haven't been to any meetings yet. Here are a few sketches of the shirt and skirt combo I might be making. The far right one is a Sunday dress. I don't think you travel on Sunday but I couldn't help wanting to draw one more fancy.

The Thin Red Line

Why have I not heard of this movie before? I watched "The Thin Red Line" last night with my husband and was totally blown away. Seriously it's a peice of art. I found myself transposed into this dream world where the meaning of peace was so delicate and fragile but so vital. It came out the same time as "Saving Private Ryan" so I can understand why one was more heard of. I guess most people preffered the war movie that gave you hope. I would say though that the movie last night spoke more of why we need peace. Here are just a few of the amazing quotes from the movie that trully shift your thoughts:

"Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?"

"This great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed to this night?"

Keys in the fridge?

Why is it when you're in a hurry you find the important things in the oddest places? Like this morning I was trying to run out the door and found my keys in the fridge!
