Decoupage

This was my first ever attempt at decoupage. I am posting it because I didn't take any new photos today and I just wanted a photo to post. This is a wooden tray that I made for my Grandma Bonnie for Christmas the year she went on a summer trip with my Dad and Step mom. I think it turned out cute, but I never did get the knack for the decoupage.



So today I drove to Victorville to help my brother return his U-Haul truck. He just moved into my neighborhood and I think it is pretty cool. It is going to be a much better commute for him to go to work, and we are probably guaranteed to see him and his family more often.

I also spent a frustrating portion of the afternoon trying to remember how to use the embroidery sewing machine that my mother has loaned my indefinitley. I only use it once in a great while for any kind of sewing, and I use it even less for embroidery. So, I was on the phone with her several times today trying to get the thing to do what I wanted. I managed to an extent, but I will be calling her tomorrow for some more tips.
