Weekend Recap...

So, my little baby is doing Great. The BF took him to the vet for me on Friday and we found out he had an ear infection; they gave us some eardrops and ear wash (that smells like yummy sweet peas) to help it go away. I feel so bad for him, he has not been his normal rotten self, and I can’t wait until he is 100% again.

Surprisingly I spent more on him this weekend than I did on myself. He got a ton of new treats and toys to make his recovery better. We did go to the mall, but I actually left with only one bag.  I saw this....

and it was totally screaming my name, but that $400.00 price tag was screaming WAY LOUDER!!!

Oh, Warning if stop into Bath and Body Works and they ask you to smell their new scent,
which looks like this…

PLEASE DON’T I Swear it actually smells like this!!

We saw “Knight and Day” with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. It was actually pretty funny, and it didn’t make me want to vomit at the sight of Tom Cruise! If you’re looking for a funny movie with action, I would highly recommend it.

We also went to this pizza place called RedBrick Pizza, and it was so medicore. 

 

Dominos would have been better.  At least it looked pretty!

I also took my sewing course and had a blast (other than having to get up at 7:30 on a Sunday…BOO!!)  The place I took it at was called Stitch Lab and it was the cutest joint.  Tell me this place is not darling!!

I was shocked that my project actually came out looking like this.

Next week we will do a pillow, but I have so many ideas popping into my head, and just have to get the Gumption (yes I said gumption) to start making things…PROJECT RUNAWAY here I come (stop laughing people…miracles can happen!!).

PS - Guess who was nice to me in the Stairwell this morning...LOL!

Sewing Beauty...

So, I mentioned my quest to start sewing, it all really stemmed from my purchase from Pinupgirl Clothing. Their clothes are so cute, but a $125.00 for a dress is a bit much, especially when I want everything on their website.

Doing some research I found some patterns that have had me drooling all day. I can barely sit still, I want to make them all (granted I first should rush home and learn how to use my machine…LOL).

Granted I want every pattern on their website (and knowing my addictive personality, I probably will ended up getting them all) but these were my top winners.

(All patterns from Vintage Vogue)

I know AMAZING ( I would totally dress like this everyday if I could)!!

This sewing thing is blowing my mind, it’s going to allow me to create my wardrobe just for me. When it comes to buying clothes I have the hardest time finding something to fit my odd shaped body. I have huge boobs, thick thighs and no butt…LOL!! Plus, when I was being created in the Heavens I guess they must have run out of waists, because I don’t have, oh lets not forget about being short. So, being able to make something to fit me perfectly will be a dream come true.

Now, I am not hating on myself by any means. I learned a long time ago to love myself and everything about me. It always sad I see girls talking trash about themselves, as they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder", and let me say I've checked out your blogs and you guys are all GORGEOUS.

Also, I added Chatbox on the right side of my page that will allow me to respond and post real time messages. I get questions in my comments and thought versus answering them via the comment section I could just respond in my box. Plus I can put random stuff in there too (its like my own little Twitter) and you guys can send me messages or just say Hello!

Weekend Recap.....

I’m all done with my finals and I think I did pretty good!

(My Finals-Free Smile)

Now, I will have a small little break until my FINAL class starts. By this being my last class for my program, I am not really sure what to expect. I’ve heard horror stories of papers being due with hundreds of pages due and even having to do tons of research for your thesis. At this point as long as they give me a diploma I would be willing to shake it on a table top…LOL (I kid…I kid)

The weekend was kind of lame, since I had to finish up my school work, so I didn’t get a chance to hit any of the good movies that came out. I really want to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D, so I think the BF and I will go check it out this weekend. Did anyone check it out this weekend…FEEDBACK!!!

You guys now for Holiday I got a sewing machine and I am embarrassed to say it still sitting in the same place in the box (I know...I know!!) I’ve been dying to learn how to really use it and even picked up some vintage patterns on Ebay. This weekend I went to Hancock fabrics and they were having a sell on their patterns so I got 15 patterns for 15.00 (according to my receipt I saved over $200.00…that’s what I call discount shopping!!) so now I am even more motivated to get this sewing thing going on. I am also thinking about signing up for a sewing class in the next month, so that is my goal.

Also, I have some pretty exciting news. Dollface Delights is in the process of working out a deal to do catering for the Texas Burlesque Festival.

The festival is 2 days long and being held in Austin. This would be MAJOR Exposure, so I am super excited. I hope to have things confirmed in the next few days, so I will keep you guys posted.

PS - I wanted to let all my followers know that I check out your blogs daily. You may not see me in your follower list, but I have a HUGE list of daily reads on my Google Reader. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to take an interest in my blog, so I always show my love and check out your blogs …so I just wanted to send you guys a ***VIRTUAL HUG***!!
