Things just don’t go out the way you planned.
Yesterday was an extremely hard day. But by the end of the day it started getting a little better. Today I woke up determined to have a good day. Low and behold it worked.
Here is me at work, see how happy I am?
I have realized life doesn’t always go the way we would like it to. Things happen for a reason. I need to just pick myself up and move along. Easier said than done. But I’m trying to remind myself tomorrow is a new day and I can determine how it will go.
So I’m gonna put on my big girl panties and deal with it.
Stressed?
Things are not going good right now. I got a speeding ticket on my way to work.
I’m depressed about other things not working out in life.
I’ll be back when I have something positive to say. Trust me you will be thankful I’m stopping this post right here.
Edited to add: I just got a raise at work! The day is looking up!
Pink/Green Patchwork Pocket Purse
That was a lot of P’s!
I have been wanting to make myself a pink and green purse. I finally got around to doing it last night.
Sorry these pictures aren’t that cute but it was 1:10 in the morning. So I didn’t really care about making them cute.
Patchwork Pocket Detail
And then the back.
I pretty much like it overall. If I made another one I think I would make the pocket match more. But it will work for me. 
Have a good weekend!
I plan on spending lots of time in my sewing room this weekend so I might have things to show you! Yea!
Cherry Blossoms
I want to have another wedding so the theme can be cherry blossoms. But I think it might be a little early to renew our vowels.
I always am so sick of winter when January gets here. I’m ready for spring!
This weekend I made some cherry blossoms.
I collected some twigs out of my yard. Then I just cut 5 sided flowers out of tissue paper and hot glued them to the twigs. I finished them off with some glitter glue centers.
Hurry up Spring! I miss you!
Sleeping under the Stars
It is finally done! I had to buckle down before Christmas and get the bed painted. I love the way it has turned out.
Here is an owl collage I made using black and white paper. Very simple. Total cost was just the price of the frame. I had all the paper.
I found black and white damask wrapping paper at Hallmark and covered a stretch canvas. The wrapping paper is actually velvety on the black parts.
Ladybug likes to be the center of attention.
Another year…another sign im getting older.
Recently I have been having problems focusing on things far away. Went to the optometrist and sure enough…I’m old.
So it’s 2008 now.
How on earth has it been 8 years since 2000 got here? Was anyone else expecting things to just quit working when the new year rolled over in 2000? I was a sophomore in high school that year and I was a little bummed when the lights stayed on lol. I was waiting for something exciting to happen.
Ok so a new year. A new me.
Things I want to work on in 2008
- Get organized.
- Get pregnant.
- Finish all projects I start.
- Finish projects that are already started.
- Bust my fabric stash.
- Cook more meals.
- Be on time.
- Be happy!
I think my list is very achievable, in that I am glad. I want 2009 to roll in with me overflowing with a feeling of accomplishment.
O and I also have one more “resolution.”
To post more on my blog.
So look out girls! Your going to get sick of me!
