Time with Yia Yia




My name is Iris Nagel.

I love my Yia Yia. She came to visit me in Santa Barbara this week and we had SOOO much fun! I really love when we read books together because she uses funny voices and does all the hand motions! I have learned so much in just 4 days. I thought you should know that I am 17 months on October 28th and my favorite color is blue and I LOVE to eat. Oh, and I also really really love butterflies and my Bapa. Yia Yia bought me some really cool black Converse shoes today and I especially love them because my dada wears the same kind. My dada is the coolest by the way. He carries me on his shoulders all the time and lets me touch all the palm trees I want. He also makes sure that I always have a clean diaper and that mama lets me play in the dirt at least twice a week. She doesn't really like dirt that much. Well ladies, I could go on and on but I really must sleep. Here are just some of my favorite photos. Enjoy!

Notions

Hi, sewing girls!! I just thought of a tip the other day as I was using one of my "notions." My daughter-in-law, Katherine, has some pretty good notions, and she's so excited about that.
When you shop for notions (thread, pins, needles, seam rippers or gauges, etc. DON'T scrimp. You'll be so happy sewing w/good quality tools.You can even find them on sale occasionally, and you can always find fabric on sale, if you're patient. (That would be a tip for me, too!!) Happy sewing!
