This week has been fairly busy, hence why I haven’t posted much lately. Welcome to at least the next two years of my life:) (Which I might say I am looking very forward to!) So the summary of my recent week…

Ben had a business trip this week, so he was gone for several days. So my mom came and visited me, which was pretty cool although I missed Ben a lot. I only worked two days this week, that way my mom and I had plenty of time to hang out. Before she got here I made a list of a bunch of stuff we could do and when she arrived we added some more to the list. Well we actually did everything except I think two things on the list! We packed a lot into only a couple days, but it was fun to get to hang out! One of the things we did was make pillows for the couch Ben & I got (which was delivered on Tuesday!!!). The pillows look pretty cool if I might say so and the couch is really nice! I will definitely post some pics of the couch & pillows. Not tonight though, but maybe sometime this weekend…

Of course a visit from my mom would not be complete without a little tiramisu for dessert, some shopping (even if it is just wal-mart and the fabric store), and nowadays it would seem a little bit of sewing:)

I cannot believe I am graduating in just a little over a month! It almost feels like all the hard work was worth it;) (I know that it is, I just have to joke a little bit about it!) I was thinking just the other day about how much has happened in the last year or so, and I can hardly believe it. Getting married, getting Pounce, moving to a new city, working as a vet assistant, getting Axel, getting accepted to the vet tech program, and now graduating with my undergrad in Business… it has definitely been an eventful and great year in a lot of ways!

I took some more pics of the cats today, so I will probably post a couple when I get a chance. They were sitting enjoying the spring air through the window and it was pretty cute. Enjoy the weekend!

I am almost done with my first sewing project that I started in my sewing class. It is a “blouse” as my sewing teacher called it. I would prefer to refer to it as a shirt with buttons on it:) All I have left is to sew the buttonholes and add the buttons and the shirt will be complete. It isn’t probably something I normally would have picked if given a choice of what exactly to sew, although I have to say that it hasn’t turned out too bad. When I have the buttons on and everything I will probably take a picture and post it so everyone can see my first project.

Since I was so close to the end of the first project, I also started a second project. (Can you tell I am kind of procrastinating on the scary buttonhole part of the first project? Buttonholes may look simple, but I will never again take them for granted… even with an automatic buttonhole maker on my sewing machine!) My second project is some scrub tops for work with the cool fabrics that I posted on my blog at an earlier time (see archives). I am starting with a cheap fabric that I bought to try things out on, so that maybe I can even be brave and modify the pattern slightly. It should be interesting to see how that turns out.

Axel and Pounce slept all day long today. I think they are going to be awake all night! It was too cute though to wake them up, since most the day they were laying right next to each other cuddling.

I randomly happened upon a fun little quiz that tells you what city you belong in. So I was curious to see what it would say for me. Kind of interesting:)

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.
