Me: Being Crafty

So, when I moved back home and unpacked my very small amount of clothes, I realized how many t-shirts I had from over the years. And then I realized that I never even wore 3/4 of them anymore.  Making a t-shirt quilt is something I've always wanted to do, so I decided to go for it. This was back in September, when I was still working days and had absolutely nothing to do with my free time.  And it did keep me occupied! But then I started working nights in October, and the free time I once had turned into sleeping. 

It also turned out being a lot more work than I thought it was going to be.  Thankfully, being the crafty, crafty person she is, my mom has helped me out A TON.  One thing that I've come to learn about myself is that I. Hate. Sewing.  Or at least sewing the material for this quilt.  I can be perfectionist when it comes to projects like this and it's incredibly frustrating when it doesn't work the way you want it to.  And I won't lie, the frustration may have also caused the nearly 3 month break.

But anyway, the project has resumed (once I realized that a quilt is probably best for the winter time) and the 4 rows below (that are separate in the picture) are now completely sewn together.  And I only slightly injured myself once. (Success!) I also realized that this thing is going to be HUGE when it's done (it still has 4 more rows to be added).  I'm really excited to finish it!

Favorites

I got James Morrison's newest CD for Christmas and I LOVE it.  He just has such an awesome voice. This is one of my favorite songs of the moment.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret cracks. me. up.  Being that I love Arrested Development, I will watch anything with Will Arnett. Or David Cross.  Or any other cast member, for that matter.  I was dying after this part (even though it's incredibly just slightly politically incorrect).

I read The Hunger Games right before Christmas and it was such a good book.  I'm so excited for the movie to come out! It looks legit.

I'm Trying This Again.

This is my new blog.  It'll probably be really interesting (or not at all).  Join me on this journey, will you?

Love,
