Hannah's New Look

This is what Hannah looked like when she went to school this morning...

Here's what she looks like with her new hair cut!

It's not the shortest she's had it

(This was the emergency hair cut she had to get after she gave herself a massive "trim" right before her 4th birthday)

She's very pleased with it! I guess she was tired of brushing out tangles :)

Canning Beans

I pressure canned pinto beans this morning! It takes a while, and all directions should be followed exactly, but it wasn't hard at all!!

And now I have 12 pints of pinto beans that cost about 12 cents each... not bad.

I wanted to start with something really cheap just in case it got messed up. But I could hear the vacuum seals popping closed, so I think these will be perfect.

Sewing!

I've done a couple of sewing projects that I thought I'd share.

I sewed 11 tiny togas for the upcoming school play "Happy Birthday to Zeus"

I turned a pair of patched-beyond-repair jeans into some extra-cute cut-offs for Hannah.

I hated to waste the rest of the jeans, so I made a cute little hippy purse for Leah. I'm sure that when I make more cut-offs I'll have to make a couple more purses :)
