Flying Free Trip #4: West Virginia

Four months ago, I went river rafting for the second time in my life. It was amazing. Equally incredible, were the beautiful West Virginia mountains. The trip was magnificent. First, the weather was perfect. After spending a grueling summer in the heat of Phoenix, the cool air was rather refreshing. The drive through the trees was beautiful---a nice break from the barren desert. After arriving to our camping location before the trip, we took a trip to this amazing bridge. The bridge is huge! It spans the wide New River Gorge, and it's so tall, that the Washington Monument and TWO statue of liberties could fit underneath it. More importantly, it's pretty. I'm not huge into artwork, but I love good architecture. Look at it---both well-built, useful, and beautiful. Plus, I love the outdoors.

Sewing Project #5: Failed Flouncy Tank Top

 Not everything you sew is going to turn out well. This is one of those cases. Fortunately, I have some really amazing projects that make up for this failed one. I think I spent 5 hours working on this tank top, and today I decided, "You know, even if I alter this the way I was planning, I still doubt I'll ever wear it. I don't think it's cute." So I burned it. It's now gone. How do I feel? Accomplished. Not for burning the tank top that I spent 5 hours making, but for learning so much about sewing from taking this class. I made some things I really like. Sewing project #4 is a way cute pair of pj's that I haven't quite finished, but once I do, it'll get a good post. Sewing project #6 is an amazing skirt that I get compliments on every time I wear it. Sewing project #5 didn't work out, but now I know how to do some sewing techniques I didn't know before.
