day 3 :)

Still going strong! Woo Hoo. Today I had a half day at work so I had time for homemade pizza for lunch!



I really liked it. I made pizza dough from the Pioneer Woman. It is excellent. Obviously mine was only cheese cause I am a veggie, but her chicken pizza looks pretty darn awesome.



On my day off I had big plans, :) to shop for fabric, but I think that will have to wait. I instead watched some very relaxing tv and snuggled the pup.



Big plans to workout day 2 so that I can earn more etsy dollars so that I can buy awesome stuff. I just bought a bag of vintage rhinestones that I CANNOT wait to use. On something.

day 2

This is my favorite of the smaller dolls I made. I like her hair with the little shirt. My favorite thing about all of these dolls is their handmade pants.

Today was kind of rushed, I went and bought stuff for dinner, started my dinner and then worked out(yay!) I ended up running out of time. I am exhausted too and don't feel like stitching anything up.

I am going to reward myself for working out with etsy money. Every day I work out I am rewarding myself with one etsy dollar. This way I can earn things I want on etsy without feeling guilty about buying them. Ryan even said he would match the money to help motivate. Awesome!

Tomorrow is a half day at work, good thing, I am feeling like a vacation for sure. I am going to come home and drink bluebottle coffee and smile.

I think I am going to blog every day for a year starting now

Hi. I am challenging myself to stick to this! It will be good for me. And I am sure you care what I do day to day, right? haha.



That is my bored face. Sometimes on Sundays I feel really motivated. This was not one of those Sundays. :) We did get some errarnds done, boring stuff but stuff that needed to be done none the less. I wanted to work on this dress:



But, I didn't get to the fabric store in time(mostly due to laziness) and so I didn't get the fabric I wanted to make with this pattern and now I am not feeling like doing any work. I saw a really cute dress made out of that pattern, which I bought a hundred years ago when I was still in Ohio, and it inspired me to hop to it! So that is going to be a big project for me this week!

hi there

ugh. too much chocolate in my life. I have a food problem. If it is at my arms length, it is in my tummy. I try not to keep too many snacks around.

It needs to be back to working out for this guy(gal I guess)! I am starting to feel just not good. So, this weekend I am going to have to start getting my food in check and myself working out again, ah pilates video and biggest loser video, I have missed you! well not really but I am glad to see you back.

Other than that I have not been sewing too much lately but listed a ton of stuff on Etsy. Hopefully I will be back in the swing of things soon, but I have a knitting project I want to take on this weekend and maybe some drawing projects too.

I am thinking about making a cute little sundress soon too, I have a pattern that I love that I want to work on.

Did I tell you that I watched "The Secret" ? Well, I thought it was going to be lame and it was anything but. So inspirational and exactly how i look at the world. I have been trying to keep myself in check and on the positive side. The law of attraction is so true. If you are thinking positively then good things will happen.

I am hoping for a nice weekend. I would like to try and sew and also to rollerskate! It has been rainy the past few sundays and so no skating for me. Heres to sunshine...

What?! I can't hear you, My ears aren't working...

Happy Easter people!

If I ever go missing

You can pretty much bet that I am making stuff...Right now mostly foxes. And small pins that look like skulls or faces. Only, I didn't have great light so I didn't take pics of too many of the tiny pins.



But, mostly right now its foxes.






and bunnies too!

But just so you know, I have been working. And watching Castle on Hulu, and watching movies. and walking my dog in the rain.
