Weekend Update

My weekend was satisfactory. It started out great Friday night with a trip to the mall. I found some awesome deals on some placemats to make some more purses. I can't wait to get to those, but I need to find some handles. I really need a new purse for myself at the moment, but I'm holding out for an Amy Butler bag. I ordered some bag patterns that should be here any day now. We ended the evening with dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. Oh, how I love Mexican!

Saturday wasn't so great. I woke with sinus pain, so I took some stupid sinus medicine. Big mistake. Not only did it knock me out (even the non-drowsy does it to me), but it made me feel like crap. On top of that I was a total grump. I did manage to finish my and Lily's aprons, so that was an accomplishment. I wanted to use a fancy stitch to applique the flowers on to the aprons, so I pulled out a book my grandma gave me, The Encyclopedia of Stitchery . There was some cool stuff in there, but I ended up using a regular old stitch. I think the fabrics were too busy for anything fancy. I promise I'll get pictures up soon. For some reason I ended up staying up until 1 am. Soon after I went to bed Lily woke up. She was in a total tizzy because the sponge curlers we put in her hair before bed were falling out. I tried to tell her that it was no big deal, but she then had a total meltdown. I have never seen her like that. It was NUTS!! I eventually got all the curlers out of her hair, which she didn't want me to do. After finally getting her to bed around 2:30 am she woke up again around 4 am because a big thunder storm rolled through. Needless to say, none of us got much sleep that night.

Sunday morning we all slept in. I didn't even get dressed until lunch time and I never fixed my hair. It's nice to do that every once in a while. It was rainy and gloomy all day, so it was the perfect day to do that. Lily woke up in a good mood and was disappointed that we weren't going to church. She must be possessed. The big accomplishment of the day is that I got the table out of my bedroom. I thought that the table would be too big in my living room, but it isn't so bad. There's no hurry to make it smaller. In fact, I may never make it smaller, just use it like it is. Yeah, I still need to do some accessorizing, but it's fine for now. Matt also finished painting the bathroom. Now he needs to put down the shoe molding, then it will all be done (for the most part - there's always something else that needs doing).

The weekend is over, the work week ahead is near. I need to get to bed. Good night.
