i am domesticated

i have realized the more i am home

the more i want to

buy.

decorate.

clean.

organize.

reorganize.

redecorate.

repaint.

....

i have a list of MANY things i want to do

and i FINALLY got to cross one off

thanks to this lovely lady

 

(i stole this pic from her blog)

Beavs

aka

Becky

becky is pretty crafty

so i asked her to teach me how to make some pillows

for my couch.

she helped me with a couple

and then i went home and opened up my sewing machine

that my mom gave me for by birthday.

it took me awhile to thread the machine...

i had to watch the dvd that came with it!

and now i am finally finished..

i made seven total and

i love how they turned out!

also i have to keep bragging for a minute

because i got the deal of the century!

don't be jealous.

i have been searching for a new rug for my front room

but i didn't want to spend $200.

i was at target awhile ago and i found one on sale that i liked

and it was $80 -

so i decided to buy it.

i got up to the check out and the guy rang me up

and the rug was
$35!!

i couldn't believe my luck...

i asked him if he was sure and he just looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said,

"that is what it rang up for, so take it!"

yay!
