I heart Aprons and $1.99 patterns!

Honestly I totally don't like to cook...AT ALL but for some reason I am absolutely obsessed with aprons. I love making them, I love the way they look but I don't really wear the ones I make because I don't want them to get all dirty and gross I just have a cute little hook in the kitchen that I collect them all on. Ya, I'm pretty much strange like that...Anyway JoAnn's alot of times has patterns on sale for $1.99 and I love that! For the most part I like to get all of my patterns online for free but every once in a while I find a great pattern that I have to buy! A whie back I found this pattern that I had to have. It has two of my most favorite things...ruffles and layers! Here is how it turned out...

Scot was kind enough to be model. I sure love him! Anywho, I hope everyone is doing well. Only a 4 day work week! Woo hoo! Happy Monday!

Refurbished Shirt...

I think people are actually calling it repurposing but I like refurbished better. Anyway, I was inspired the other day by my friend Mitzi's post (here) to make one of these cute ruffly shirts. I looked around and found a tutorial I thought looked easy here. I didn't want to do anything too in depth for my first try but now that I have done it once I want to go out and buy a gazillion plain shirts because it was so much stinkin' fun and it took hardly any time...Here is the finished product...

And a close up...

If you go here you can find a whole bunch of different tutorials on refubishing shirts. Oh and the best part is I found this shirt on sale at Kohls for $6, regularly $12. Then I went to Target and they had a whole bunch of V-Neck ones on sale for $4! Score!!

Also just a side note, I am really weird about clothes getting ruined in the washer so I hand wash a lot of my clothes because I am crazy like that. I decided to throw this bad boy in the washer and just see what happened and then just lay it flat to dry. Good to go. Looks like brand spankin' new still. I'm probably the only one that would be worried about that but just in case there were other worry warts out there I thought I would put your minds at ease :)

By the way....HORRAY MONDAY IS OVER!! Have a good week everyone!

First project in a while!

It's been forever since I posted a sewing project on here. I haven't really been in the mood for sewing lately but recently got the itch again. Here is my most recent project....and let's just say it was a little more work than it was maybe worth...

There is supposed to be a cute little bow on the outside but I got slightly lazy toward the end and decided it was busy enough without it :). Next time I will definitely make the handles a little longer and I might leave the outside pocket off. Anyway, now I am inspired to do some more sewing so I need to figure out what my next project will be!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week! I will be INSANELY happy when Friday is here!! I could so use another 3 day weekend!

Disneyworld - Part 3 (Animal Kingdom)

After spending half of Saturday at Hollywood Studios we spend the 2nd part of the day at Animal Kingdom. There is tons to do at this park and lots to see!

Here is Scot while we were waiting in line for the Dinosaur ride. It was a great ride!

We of course had to get the classic picture with the Tree of Life!
Jungle Safari ride!

That big white mountain in the background is a ride called Expedition Everest. It's awesome!! Probably my new favorite ride next to the Rockin' Roller Coaster at Hollywood.

Us, along one of the walking trails.

Getting ready to go on the train!

Leaving the Animal Kingdom...

So, Animal Kingdom closed at 5pm on Saturday and the Magic Kingdom was open until 11pm so we decided to go back to the hotel and swim for a little bit and then go back to Magic Kingdom that night until they closed at 11pm! We just love it so much we had to go back so we could get as much of it as possible!

Here is Scot pretending like he was going to spin the heck out of our tea cup. I made him promise he wouldn't though before we got on so he was good!

I'm pretty sure we were the oldest people on the Carousel without kids. Oh well! I wanted to ride EVERYTHING!!

I got my churro! It is a crime to go to Disneyworld/land without getting a churro! Delicious!

Goodbye Magic Kingdom!!

Now we just have Epcot pictures left!!

Disneyworld - Part 2 (Hollywood Studios)

On our 2nd day at Disneyworld we spent the first half of the day at Hollywood Studios. They have the best ride EVER at this park called the Rockin' Roller Coaster, unfortunately it was under renovation while we were there! Sad day! That's OK, there was plenty of other fun things to see!

Here we are in line for the Toy Story ride. That Mr. Potato Head really talked and told jokes. It was pretty cute.

There is a Honey I Shrunk the Kids play ground...this is on the way out of the play area...

Here we are in "San Francisco."

...with Lightning McQueen and Mater.

We of course had to ride the classic that is Star Tours!

Scot was the only brave one of the two of us to ride the Tower of Terror. I'm too chicken!

Animal Kingdom pictures to come!

Surprise! We went to Disneyworld...!! Part 1

I have to say that I have the greatest, most awesome husband in the entire world! He's the best ever and I just love him! He's always surprising me and doing such nice things for me and he totally went above and beyond this past weekend!

Our 5th year anniversary was on Friday and we had planned to drive up to Denver to go to the Cheesecake Factory and do a little shopping. I was really looking forward to it. On Thursday I got up and went to work like any other day and around 11:00 I got a phone call from my awesome boss (who is also my mother in law :)) telling me that there was a problem with one of my files and that I needed to come up to her office. So I went up there and when I walked in there was Scot. I thought it was slightly weird that he was there, we had kind of talked about going to lunch that day so I thought maybe he was there just picking me up or something. Anyway, after I sat down Scot took my hand and said a few nice things and then handed me our reservation to go to Disneyworld and stay in the same hotel we stayed at for our Honeymoon. I was still completely confused. I couldn't figure out why he came to my work to tell me that. Finally everyone was like go, shut down your computer, have fun! Scot was like we are leaving right now let's go. I was in complete shock! I had no idea and did not expect that at all. I am usually so hard to surprise so I can't believe he pulled it off! So off we went to go home and super sonic pack! We had such a fantastic time...we took a bazillion pictures so I will probably break this post up in to sections so stay tuned!

We spent all of Friday at the Magic Kingdom. It's our favorite so we wanted to spend as much time there as possible. We got there a little after it opened and didn't leave til' they closed, except for a brief trip back to the hotel to swim for an hour or so...

We have made it a tradition to eat at this delicious bakery for breakfast on Main Street at least once during each trip! Yummm, delicious cinammon rolls! That's the beauty of a trip like this, you walk so much that you can pretty much eat whatever you want!

Here we are on the Jungle cruise with an elephant in the background!

Scot, after we rode his all time favorite ride, Pirates of the Caribbean!

The Haunted Mansion, some of those headstones are pretty funny!

Even though it's a little nerdy we had to ride It's a Small World!

Mary Poppins, spit spot...

These little guys are every where! After we went swimming we were waiting in the courtyard in front of our room because the cleaning crew was working in our room and we saw this guys on one of the benches. Blah!

Back to Magic Kingdom after our brief rest!

Minnie's House!

Mickey's House!

Last ride of the day. This was our 2nd time on Space Mountain! We tried to ride everything at least a couple times, except for Splash Mountain...I got drenched and it was only the 2nd ride we rode that day! Not cool!

Day one was a success! It really is The Happiest Place on Earth!
