This Weekend 11.08.2009
This weekend we had the privilege of experiencing one of Houston's greatest kept secrets: Dewberry Farms! Saturday we enjoyed the likes of pony rides, rope swings, tractor trains, and turkey legs. It was amazing. It definitely goes on my Favorite Things about Houston list. Here are some pics of the day.
Another exciting thing in the Newberry household is the developing South Campus building of Second Baptist Church. We are so excited to be a part of such an awesome time in our church's history. The South Campus has met in the Cinemark Theater for nearly four years. This Christmas Eve we will have our first service in our new building. Each week Tyler and I and the kids ride our bikes to see what has developed. 
Now, on a more domestic note. I acquired two wingback chairs from my mom that I had planned on having reupholstered. However, when I found out how much it is to reupholster I confess I thought about attempting it myself. My mom, upon giving the chairs to me, said, "Leslianne DO NOT try to upholster these chairs." She knows me all too well. The other day I got bored and again I thought seriously about doing it. Instead I decided to make a slipcover. I had some old fabric from some curtains I had made, so I decided to have a practice round. Please remember I had nothing to go by, and it was my first time. I think it turned out quite nice! I can't wait to get some fun fabric and make real one!!

Leslianne!!! You're a natural seamstress!! What the heck!? I can't believe you did this! This is your first attempt? I can't believe it! You did great! So cute! I like that fabric honestly. I need you to help me recover my dining room chairs when you come for Thanksgiving. I don't think it will take long at all. I'm proud of you girl!
