First off, I have become “domesticated” in a way. Some of
you may remember that I took sewing lessons and then a few months later bought
this:
Well I made my first project for a sweet friend of mine. She’s having a baby boy in November and so I decided I was going to make her a blankey for her and Caleb. I used the zig-zag stitch for the very first time on this, you can’t see that detail but you can see how it came out..
I decided that I really kinda enjoyed making stuff so I quickly came up with another project! Since Joseph has lived in the house we have never had curtains for our bedroom. I looked everywhere for them. I even bought some from Overstock.com.. Didn’t like them, so I turned to looking for fabric. Hancock fabric was having a sale on curtains and drapes one weekend, JACKPOT! I bought 4 yards of fabric for about $40! That’s HALF off! So I quickly went to work on them and finally finished them and hung them today.. This is the end result:
So to continue my whole new “being domesticated” hobby, I finally made something from scratch! Thanks to Pinterest ( go there RIGHT NOW and sign up! It’s so addictive and soo much better than FB!) Anyway, thanks to Pinterest I found this website to make Snickerdoodle Muffins.. Yumm-O! So I got my stuff and starting dirtying up the kitchen and came out with a pretty good end result!! You should really try it.. I didn’t use Cream of Tartar though, it didn’t call for a lot and it was $6 at Kroger! Yikes! Anybody want some……?
That’s not all that I’ve been doing either. I had my week of
vacation in August and the Honey and I loaded up(way too much stuff) and headed
down to Destin. We shared a condo with my parents and enjoyed every minute of
being there.. We even kayaked in the ocean. It was a lot of fun! We ate at some
great places and even went to play putt-putt. We certainly didn’t want to leave
AT ALL! Oh and Joseph’s birthday was on
August 26th. He got a watch from the Fossil outlet and a skinny tie.
We went out to eat at Cerami’s the day of his birthday and then had friends
over the night after for cake and ice cream. I think he enjoyed welcoming in
his 30th year!
