at least tomorrow is the end of the week and the start of the weekend…

the good stuff to look forward to this weekend… being able to hang out with Ben, getting to stay home with Pounce & Axel, going over to my friend Mel’s

the other stuff about this weekend…. having to help out at a vet tech club fundraiser, studying and more studying (the studying wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the A & P quiz that I have to take on monday)

So yesterday was a pretty unproductive day, due to the fact that I got a little sick feeling from the vaccine I got on friday. I didn’t have any problems with the first one, but I had a cold when I got the second one so I think my immune system was down and didn’t care to have to deal with all that.

Today was a little better and I actually got off the couch:) In fact I made myself a new purse with some fabric scraps that I had left over from the messenger bag that I made. Here it is….

And here is a picture with me wearing it for size comparison…

It really didn’t take me very long to make and I am really happy with how it turned out. This is the first one I have made like this and I just kind of made it up as I went along. (Which is always interesting since you don’t know how it will turn out.) I like it a lot though and I think I will switch to using it for awhile (until the next purse:).

I had mentioned that this weekend I was probably going to get a little sewing area set up. On friday night, Ben & I went to the store and bought a table for me and I now have my own space to sew in our bedroom. I was planning on making a little cover for my sewing machine and maybe a tablecloth for the table on saturday, but since I didn’t feel good…. Here it is anyways…

I love being able to sew and not have to put everything away for dinner:) I will probably get this area looking a little nicer in the next week or two, but for now it is just great to have the space.

Today I got a present, want to see? Fabric! I love this and am probably going to make a bag out of it. (I got a Vogue bag pattern as a present too.) The fabric is corduroy and the picture really doesn’t do the colors justice. The brown and red look really pretty together. I can’t wait to sew with this:)

If you haven’t already seen this – Cute Overload: “We know cats like boxes…” – go watch it! It is adorable:)

Enjoy labor day if you have off of work or school! I am probably going to study a ton, but it will be nice to have the extra day.

So at school today we all got the second vaccine in the series of three that we need for the vet tech program. Can I just say that it is a little scary when the old lady giving you the shot holds out her shaking hand to stab you with the needle! Oh and then she proceeds to stab you while somehow getting rubbing alcohol on the end of the needle so that there is a horrible burning sensation as the needle goes into your arm. Not so much fun…. I took some pain killers a little while ago though so now I feel a bit better. In two more weeks I get the third and final vaccine, and I cannot wait until that is over with.

My day wasn’t great, mostly just because of the shot that I had to get and the fact that I find Anatomy & Physiology slightly depressing. (I really don’t get most of the stuff in that class, but Ben is going to help me study a little this weekend and explain some of it more for me which is pretty cool.) Tonight made up for it though for a couple reasons. For dinner we had my favorite pizza from a really good restaurant in town. I seriously think I could live on pizza all the time, especially this pizza with tons of cheese and sauce on it.

I also picked up a hardcover copy of the book Marley & Me for really cheap. The library sells off copies of new books when the books move of the new shelves and they don’t need as many any more. Even though I have already read it, I loved the book and really wanted a copy for myself. If you haven’t read it yet and you like animals or have a pet of your own, definitely read it! – Warning though, it might make you cry a little, but that isn’t always bad:)

Just knowing that it is friday and I have an extended weekend is a good feeling. I think this weekend we are going to try to get me a little sewing area set up so that I don’t always have to put my sewing machine away when we need to eat or anything. Who knows, maybe I will even get to sew a tiny bit. I have a couple really small projects that I would like to do so that might be kind of fun.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
