First, I want to apologize for the lack of posts. The only excuse that I have is that I have been attempting to keep my 4th grade class from exploding with all that we have been doing and trying to stay on top of it all!
But, now that I have a week off (!!!!) I can catch up! Here is what I have been up too this past week!
.
I have been reading and laughing at comics like this…

I have been altering a few of my shirts/pants. After looking over Pinterest ideas, I got inspired to "skinny-up" and shorten a pair of jeans that I had been rolling up to wear with sandals during the summer. (Inspired by: http://cottonandcurls.blogspot.com/2011/02/busy-busy-day.html)

After going fabric shopping with some girls from the ward a while back, I saw a sample dress in the store in a beautiful brown and paisley pattern and a very cute/simple cut. After a little deliberation (about 1 minute), I checked the tag for the pattern number and got ready to run around the store looking for that exact fabric. I found all of the materials and then it sat in a bag in my closet for about 3 months. I figured it was time to pull it out and test my sewing skills on this new project. So far, I have just cut out each of the pieces and the interfacing. I had to grad sharper needles today and soon I will be putting it all together! I will post the final result as soon as it is finished!

And finally, I have been taking advantage of the GREAT weather and soaking up the sun! Today, I read/tanned outside for a while and then I returned outside a little later to get some work done. I am so grateful for this beautiful yard and I am sad to be leaving it in the near future.
