So i came home from sewing today to see a prize on the top counter with my name on it! (Not really my name but it was girly stuff so it couldnt have been my brothers;)) My mom went to a boutique today and brought back these headbands!!! They are so cute and i love the colors! It looks like something simple and fun to make in my sewing class i think i might try it! Thank you mommy dearest i love you!! <3 The top is a brown and cream swirl pattern with red and pink leaves and a pea green flower!
The bottom is a white and black and yellow pattern with a yellow flower!

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!
I have told myself over and over that the more i fill in my time with fun events and things to be doing all the time.....the faster it will fly by...and i have had success!!!! School is over in about 35 days summer will be here and i will be freeee!!!!!! So here is what has been going on in my life lately!!
Silly me i sprained my ankle dancing for the Celebration...crutches are the worse thing ever invented and i am so glad to be rid of them.....going on the stinky elevator at school was not the most thrilling thing ever.... I started a sewing class with a lovely older lady in my ward who is teaching me just about EVERYTHING there is to know about sewing. She completely turned her basement into a sewing room and has about 5 sewing machines! 5!!! So every saturday morning (yes i wake up early) from 9-noon i learn and practice sewing.....look at my stitches!!! Awww such a beginner...
Sister Nixon taught me and some girls how to sew a pillow case, one of the easy things to sew (haha....NOT) i forget what this fabric was called which is a bummer since i have spent time learning all the names....cuddleskin is my favorite:) isnt it beautiful? Its beige with dark brown lace....PERFECT for my room...I am now making (myself) a purplish....kinda? high waisted pencil skirt.....the material is GORGEOUS!! and so far i have cuz out my pattern and have gotten measured so i can sew it to fit me perfectly!! Cant wait for it to be finished!!
