I love to get mail, especially packages, because it makes me feel like it is my own little Christmas. Even if I ordered something & I know that it is on its way, it always feels like a little surprise to get it and open the box. So today I was very excited when the package arrived with two books that I ordered off amazon (it had more, but the other ones were for Ben).

One of the books that I ordered was Amy Butler’s In Stitches and I am so happy I bought it for myself. I had never seen the book in person, but I love the fabric that Amy Butler has out so I figured I would probably like her book. Turns out I was right, as there are a bunch of projects that I really want to start on after just flipping through the book. So I think my sewing machine and I may need to take some time to hang out…. It has definitely been awhile as school has kept me pretty busy. I would say that maybe this weekend I will sew, but I already have plans. (I get to see my mom & sister, which is very cool:) So maybe next week? This may mean though that I need to buy some more fabric:) Like I really needed that excuse right!

School is going pretty good, although definitely on the busy side. This week was the first practical exams, so I was a little nervous and unsure what to expect but it went pretty good. I might even have to change my mind about sheep, maybe they aren’t that bad if just a little bit on the dirty side. (Seriously, a little bath & they might be quite nice to be around;) Next, in large animal we are working with cows…. this could definitely be interesting!
