As most of you already know, we moved to the base. We've only been here a couple weeks and are just about situated. Our first night, our dishswasher flooded.
Blaine's not picking his nose. He's "itching" it.... Oh Blaine....
I decided I wanted to try something new, so I took up sewing. My dad got me a sewing machine as one of our wedding gifts. (I'll take that as a hint...?) Blaine's mom helped me sew my first pair of pajama pants. They were less than perfect. So when I told my dad that I was putting the sewing machine to good use, he decided to get me a sewing desk. Thanks Dad! Blaine put it together. My Mr. Fix-it.
Since I had so much fun sewing, I thought I'd try knitting/crocheting. I'm probably getting way ahead of myself, but I've got to keep up with these Baker women somehow. I swear they can do everything. I guess I'm not exactly the domestic type just yet. It will take me quite some time before I'm anywhere near close. Knitting/crocheting is fun! I taught myself to do it. Yay! I find I do better when I'm listening to rock music (preferably something hard... metal). I'll be happy when I'm done with my first project.
My next sewing project is a purse. I bought the Sewing Patterns for Dummies because well... I need to start out as easy as I can. I'm excited to keep learning so I don't need to ask Blaine's mom and sister for help.
Well, that's about it for now. Just adjusting to our new place and loving newlywed life! We hope to have some more exciting news soon! :-]
