Feels Like Monday

 WOW!! Today was just one of those days where you just want to go back to bed and do it all over again.
        It felt like a Monday on a Tuesday. I'm sure we all have this kind of day. 

Work was just crazy. Crazy questions, procedures, just crazy.

Came home to a dog who had done his #2 duties all over my living room. We have had Bo since August and he has had a few accidents but nothing like this. Poor thing must not feel good.

SO with that said hardwood or laminate floors are in our future!!

Then tomorrow is the hubby's birthday and I was supposed to make cupcakes for him. With the above said, I did not feel up to making cupcakes.

SO now a few things that make me happy:

I love this dress from one of my favorite stores

The thought of being at the beach. I am looking forward to July 19th.

I am sure tomorrow will be better. I am glad it is one day closer to Friday.

Tractor, Skirt, and Flowers

Yesterday we went to my in laws house to work on a garden that we are planning. Since it had just rained we did not get a whole lot done. We mainly went to celebrate my mother-in-laws birthday, which was Wednesday.

Cody on the tractor. He had so much fun.

I think his tractor is sexy.

I said I would keep you up to date on the skirt. The first week was washing and ironing the fabric, second week was cutting the fabric. So i did not want to bore you with those things. This week was pleats and waistband. I'm so excited that it is starting to look like a skirt.

I am so excited that spring is just around the corner. I have so many flowers in my yard that came from my dad's house that I love.

My sweet Bo that thinks he is a flower.

(he needs a hair cut so bad)

Sew Along!

I am excited to have joined to do a sew along at http://www.onepearlbutton.com/. Making a Marie skirt.

I got my supplies today and it starts tomorrow. 

Up close of the fabric

My optimistic side:

this will be a great experience

making a skirt for around $12.00

making my own clothes

trying something new

My pessimistic side:

I am new to sewing

I am new to sewing

oh did I mention:

I am new to sewing

All in all I am super excited. We will see how this goes. I will be sharing along the way on how this goes.

Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Friday:

Cody planned a date night. We went to eat and to see Dear John. It was such a great movie. If I had not been in a movie theater I would have been crying. Go see it if you have not.

Saturday:

I got to sleep in. I hardly ever sleep that late, so I figure I must have need the sleep or my body would not have let me sleep that long.

Then I went for a little retail therapy.

I got a new comforter set.

I also got a new pair of JS shoes. Shoes are my thing.

Sunday:

We went to church. A wonderful lesson was taught on Gods Amazing Grace. Such a wonderful lesson and so much to think about.

Then went to my aunts baby shower. This is baby # 4 for her but the 1^st girl.

Now home to watch the Super Bowl. I just watch for the commercials.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and has a wonderful week.
