Singer

Last night as planned my sweet peas Kelsey, Neeley and I had our selves some tie-dying fun! I got WAY to much Papa Murphys pizza (I couldn't resist their 2 for 1 sides and Kelbell wanted her own pizza). We each did 2 shirts and covered the driveway and my legs in dye. Pictures to come! We were all very disappointed to learn that the shirts had to sit out and dry over night for the color to set. MAJOR LET DOWN!

We spent the rest of the night chowing down and watching Valentine's Day (Kels' pick of course!)

There was a little crafting going down while watching the movie as Kelsey wrote notes and Neeley scowered the internet for deals. I had seen a DIY for making a cake stand from Emily's blog and absolutely LOVED the idea. I have been looking for the perfect plate to use and while at TJMAXX yesterday with my Auntie and Kelbell I found it. A sweet little salad plate with two birds on it for $2.99. Then I ran by Goodwill and for a single $1 found a perfect brass candlestick. Hot glue the two together and what do you get...

Sorry for causing a crink in your neck... once again cannot figure out how to turn the photo from this program :( But you get the point. Now I have an adorable little dessert serving piece.

We also set up Kelsey on her own blog last night so I am sure as soon as she has time she will be posting like a mad woman! No doubt she will have interesting and lovely things to say about life, love and her everyday adventures as the assistant manager of Starlight. Ill keep you posted.

Finally... Last night just after Kelsey left my house I had a surprise visitor. Drew showed up telling me I needed to get something out of his car. After my incessant questioning I finally took his keys over to the back of the truck terrified of what I might find. (He doesn't ask me to do much so when will I learn that when he does it is usually a good surprise?!) Anyway I opened the back of the car to find my very first and very own Singer Sewing machine!!

I am not sure if it wasn't just a distraction for me so he could watch the Mav's game but it totally worked. I opened that sucker right up and watched the DVD that came along with it and found out the my fears of using a sewing machine were ridiculous... this thing was super easy with it's automatic threader.

He is a good man and knows how to win me over that is for sure! I am cooking him a delish dinner tonight to thank him.

Today on my lunch break when I should have been going to the grocery store I went to Hobby Lobby and got fabric for my first project! So excited to whip it up tonight. Stay tuned to see what it is...
