On related news (to absolutely nothing)...

I had a masssiive caries that nearly took my whole tooth out! I kid you not!!! Even the doctor was apalled. I think he's still worried. Me? I just are three pieces of carrot cake and I feel like I could eat another..who knew getting your teeth fixed could work up such an appetite?! (Who's with me?).

DIM (do it myself) Reversible Tote!!!

And it was totes (insert awkward face emoticon) fun to make! I found this tutorial on this woooonderful blogggg!!!! It's worth shouting for, I promise!!! The cool thing about this lady is that she offers a wonderful workshop for kids and teens, and has another series for adults..I of course used the kids' workshop, because that's how much of a beginner I am..and a wuss!!! But behold, the wonderful world of learning to sew!! My own reversible tote! :) 

Look at me, ain't I pretty!

Now, I know what you're thinking..seriously? she couldn't have taken a better picture? Well, let me tell you something people, I could've, but it's late and I was too excited to show it off!!! But, I will take better pictures of it, I promise!

Honestly, this is an easy, fun, wonderful project to take on if you're a beginner sewer, or a veteran that wants to learn something new or reinforce their skills! Anyways, I'm pretty pumped about this (cue fist pump in the air) and will look forward to making more!!! Stay tuned for more pictures (I did that with my television voice..thought you should know...(awkward face)). 

Mucho love,

Love/Hate

I've had a really good weekend so far. Up in the mountains, eating tostones, sewing and being with family...all good! :) Also, I've re-started reading The Starch Solution. So GOOD!!!! So informative, so eye opening and convincing. We're doing so much harm to our bodies and we're not even conscious of it.

Now, to the love/hate part...I love/hate you ModCloth. You know why..your vintage-y, flowy, perfect clothes and shoes and handbags..(sigh)...I'm done.

For my soon to be here niece!! :) Must buy! (link on picture)

May I?

I need this skirt.

Rings

Aloha, just popping up to share with you my most recent purchase. These looovely rings I bought from Forever 21...I don't know if you've heard of them, a small shop really...I'm in loove with these rings! They're exactly what I was looking for and then some! 

I've recently been thinking what this blog will be about. I still want to post my sewing experiments, those are always currently underway, but I also want to use this blog as something more. As of right now, I'm fixing it up a bit, trying to make it my own. I've linked my Pinterest page with one of the awesome icons I told you about. The Twitter one I'm still on the fence about. I've never really been a big Twitter fan, because I just can't seem to narrow my thoughts down to 140 characters or less..it's frustrating..I really think commas are necessary...Still, I will be giving it some thought, and should I decided, I'll link it using the icon. I'm sure you're mad with despair wondering which decision I'll make. Fear not, cyber friends, I'll make a decision soon ;)

Mucho love,

Social Media Icons: A GIFT

Don't you love getting free stuff? I know I do. Today I happened upon this lovely blog, where I got these lovely social media icons . I wanted to make sure I gave credit where credit's due, so this is my appreciation post :) Be sure to download these icons for your own blog! They give a nice pizzazz (do people still use that expression?) to your blog!


Mucho love,

What is this blog all aboot? (Canadian edition?)

This blog started out as a way for me to document my time during my first ever sewing class...Confession: I get soooo lazy sometimes...I haven't sewn anyyything in aboot two weeks and I have a project due on friday...argh! 

Today, I went to the dentist! My teeth are celebrating!!! :) Some of them..there are two who aren't that excited because December 4 looms ahead and those caries will be attacked! Commence countdown!

Right now, I'm reading a blog that I absolutely love. That's what I've been doing all day..while getting my hair done, and right now laying on my bed with a pair of red pants on :) who needs red lipstick!? 

Later, I will make myself a smoothie for dinner. 

Tomorrow, God willing, I'm bound for school to add next semester's classes! Eek..back again, huh? 

In the future, only God know..good thing too :)

Mucho love,

J
