Halloween Costume!

On Friday Brea and I went over to JoAnn's where they were having a big sale on lots of things! Patterns were $.99 each and so we figured it was a good time to decide on our costumes and grab the patterns/materials for them. I'm not going to tell you yet what I'm going to be for Halloween but I'm pretty excited about it. I'm going to be using these materials and then a bunch of gold jewelery! Brea and I are supposed to begin the cutting today so hopefully you will soon see what I'm going to be!

Tie-Dye Fun

Last Friday we had a Relief Society activity, we were tie-dying...with onions as our coloring! Crazy! When they told me that I didn't really know how it was going to work, still not quite sure how but it did and I have some really awesome silk material to make into a skirt with the help of my Mom when I get home.

It was a super fun relaxed night, I didn't even do that bad considering that there wasn't really anyone around that spoke English, Sis. Goa was in charge of babysitting, Stephanie was at the other end of the room we working hard on her project and Yuling didn't come later and had Daniel to take care of.

One of the Sister's helped me tie chopsticks and other knots in my material to make cool stars and circle designs in my material.

Oops! I almost forgot to add my finished product, but for some reason Google Chrome won't let you move the pictures around, so they get to stay at the top :D

The Relief Society presidency (at least for the week--Sis Goa left to return to the states this week and so wont be in the presidency any longer)

This is going to sound really weird but I think that I really have my Dad's side of the family nose in this picture, I haven't ever really noticed before, but it's really obvious here.

I asked one of the Sister's daughters to take some pictures for me, I hardly ever get pictures of myself and I wanted some of me doing my tie dye (to prove that I actually did it this time :D)

Someone's completed project (well the tying part anyway)

Working, working, working, and don't forget talking :D

In this project we needed two or even three hands sometimes, some of us resorted to using our teeth (it worked quite well if I do say myself)

The beginning stages of the dying, we soaked it in the onion dye from Friday night to Sunday afternoon after church.

Part of the group that was there, not bad for a branch on Friday night.

Stephanie working until the very last minute (and she had been working all week on her's), her's came out really cool with butterflies and flowers--beautiful!

After everyone got their material in the dye we had a lesson about dressing modestly, no one was there to translate it for me, so I got distracted by these two (they are chasing each others fingers)

What the pot looked like right before I went home.

Glamour

Friday afternoon the 5 year olds did not come to class, instead they got to hang out in the green class and take glamour shots. Each person had 4 different outfits, their hair and make-up done and many, many pictures taken.

After lunch I quickly got my lesson stuff all together and then grabbed my camera and headed to the green class. I took pictures of them getting ready (they were going to get the professional photos but I always like having the before parts too) and just enjoyed watching them get ready. There was lots of hairspray and material.

I have uploaded a sample (just a sample as there is over 300 pictures professional and I look over 200 pictures also) of what was taken...can you believe that I get to work with these beautiful/handsome (the boys did not like being called beautiful or told that they had to wear lipstick :D) kids everyday? Remember that there is also one more outfit for each of them and two more different picture styles!!
