What a weekend.

The State of Utah works on a four-ten schedule, so I work from 7 AM to 6 PM Monday through Thursday. Having a three day weekend really is much better for me; Friday is my designated errand day, Saturday is fun day and Sunday is for cleaning house and making food for the upcoming week. I thrive off routine, but sometimes I get distracted and spend the weekend doing things like drinking malt liquor with Candice. I am grateful for these days.

We grocery shopped, re-watched Dexter, cooked lots of yummy food (pumpkin pecan cinnamon rolls, seitan roast, herbed scalloped potatoes), attended a housewarming party for my good friend Amanda and drank lots of wine and malt liquor. I even managed to get a day of shopping in for myself, something I haven't done in awhile.









Such a busy few days, I'm pooped.

YoYos!

My adorable friend Brittney and I have a common love of DIY projects and she shared the idea for fabric flowers called yoyos with me. Last night I looked up a really great YouTube video, poured some wine, put season 3 of 30 Rock on Netflix and got to work on my very first sewing project ever using some fabric samples from Esther:



I can't sew a straight line to save my life, especially after a couple glasses of wine, but with these you don't need to so they are perfect! I'm going to put them on tshirts, cardigans, shoes, pillows, all sorts of things.
