You would think that I already knew it is impossible to go into the fabric store for just one little thing. If you go in to buy thread or something else little, you will usually walk out with maybe a pattern or two, some fabric that you just couldn’t resist, and if you are lucky you will actually remember why you went in the first place and get the little thing you needed.

I just couldn’t resist the London fabric that I found, it was even on sale! I just got 1 yard since I have no idea what I am going to use it for (any ideas?), but when I saw it I just had to have some. The underground symbol on the fabric is probably the best part of it, although I do love the whole print. Oh and I have been looking for a top pattern for the summer and I think this one just might be it (view B to be exact). The only thing I am not 100% about on the top pattern is that there are no ties on the back, but maybe it won’t need it (or I can add some if I don’t like how it looks without).

The weather here has been kind of weird all afternoon. It was gorgeous and sunny in the morning and temps have been in the mid70′s most of the day, but this afternoon it started to look like it was going to storm. It rained a tiny bit, but it still hasn’t really stormed. I hope this doesn’t mean we are in for tornado type of weather. Ick! I am terrified of tornadoes!

I actually knit a little on the “blanket that is taking forever” today. It is going to be purple and gray stripes eventually, but I don’t even have one full stripe done yet (granted it is a pretty wide stripe). Now if I could just work on this a little every couple of days I probably would have finished it, oh maybe a year ago:)

I cannot wait until my fabric arrives. I feel the need to make a sundress before I go out and buy one. I was pretty tempted today at Old Navy (and I don’t even shop there that often, I went with my friend Jes since she wanted some stuff there), but decided that it would be much better to make my own dress than buy one. I did order some fabric that I am planning on making into a sundress, still not sure what pattern I will use though.

Tonight at my horseback riding class we rode outdoors, which was pretty cool since it was warm (although it was pretty windy and got cold towards the end of class). We just rode in the outdoor arena, pretty much in a circle. However, we got to trot a ton this week and we did some barrel racing exercises. My horse decided to be a slight stinker this week and put up a little fuss a few times about trotting, but other than that he is a sweetheart and a great horse to ride. I love getting to ride, it really is a wonderful experience!

Apparently daylight savings combined with the influence of caffeine yesterday has completely thrown my sleeping schedule off! It is 2am right now and I am totally not tired. It didn’t help matters either that I had caffeine yesterday afternoon, which made falling asleep last night difficult and of course that meant I slept in a little this morning. So now I am paying for it by being wide awake, even though I know I have to get up earlier tomorrow (actually technically, today).

So I thought, since I was still awake I would post some pictures that I took today of Pounce and Axel.

I love these shots of them. It is so rare to be able to get good pictures of them, since they move around a ton and my camera doesn’t take pictures very quick. This was just a perfect photo opportunity with the nice sunlight that we finally have and the two of them relaxing in it.

I have still been walking every day, in fact today I took two walks:) However, it is still muddy and dull looking outside, even though the temps were in the 60′s today and are supposed to be in the 70′s tomorrow. I keep seeing pictures of spring all over the place and wish it would hurry up and start looking like it around here!

Still haven’t worked on the anniversary gift for Ben (even though today was our anniversary). Hopefully I will get going on that tomorrow or Wednesday! I definitely am planning on it at least:)
