Disneyland

CT & I spent Sunday at Disneyland & CA Adventure. We're getting our $ out of the annual pass. D.L. isn't just for kids, we had a great time. The Aladdin Live show at CA Adventure is a definite must-see! Rainforest cafe has 3 levels. Will go back to see the Christmas parade.

Folsom Zoo

CT & I went to the Folsom Zoo Sunday & saw some great animals. I think this place is often overlooked.

They had tigers, bears (were sleeping when we were there), wolves (we were there during feeding time. yikes!!), birds, monkeys, cute little woodland creatures, and a pasture area w/ all types of animals hanging together (huge potbelly pigs, deer, BIG dogs, goats, sheep and a horse. They were all happy to be in the same enclosure together. It was cool how they all got along & were even playing w/ each other).

Burda World of Fashion Yoga Pants

These yoga pants are from the November 2007 BWOF magazine & were VERY easy to make. 3 pattern pieces sews up in no time. I made a black pair for my Mom & a dark charcoal for me. They are so comfy. The bootleg cut is very flattering. Plus, you can wear them out & not look frumpy.

My 1st Burda WOF pattern from Magazine

Made the pants in a black, thin non-stretchy fabric.

It probably took 2 hours, start to finish to make these pants. Including tracing the pattern.

Next pair I make will be in a little thicker fabric w/ stretch to it. Otherwise, the band doesn't fit quite right. Very cute & easy pattern! Will post pix soon.
