What have I been up to this past week?
I've caught the CRAFT BUG!
A couple weeks ago I attended a craft night,
held by my sister's neighbor
Maria is a very crafty girl,
just one look at her blog and you'll see that.
She comes up with a craft, then hold a craft night so all of the
creatively stumped people (I am one of those!)
can have cute decor too.
Here was my project:
Wood blocks painted black, paper modpodged on, then vinyl lettering
I LOVE the bright colors!
With my next craft, here's a little history...
At work everyday I look at an array of blogs.
When things are slow or I need a break, I read blogs.
(Thank you google reader for keeping track of all of them!)
One blog I read is makeit-loveit.com
Recently I bought a skirt pattern from there.
I used to sew a lot but haven't since I was in high school because I didn't have a sewing machine.
Well, now I have one and I'm going crazy with projects!
Some have worked out, and some haven't (a brown yoga skirt...)
These two things I made today worked out, and I'm in love!
The Lily Skirt:
It is a knee length skirt with a smocked waistband.
Have I mentioned I like bright colors?

In the next picture, I had leftover fabric, so I made a little rose to put on a headband.
I can't remember what website I got the idea from,
but it matches my skirt,
and I'm pretty dang excited to wear both of them!
Oh, and here's some roses my husband got me!
It was a nice surprise after having
such a crappy week at work as I've had the last couple weeks.
So thanks babe!
I'm lovin' my roses and they smell amazing!
Have a great week!
I'm crossing my fingers that my 3 days of work
will go by fast!
Come Thursday morning I'll be heading to St George!
