I am a SEWING machine

So you may or may not know this little fact about me.... when I find something I truly enjoy I become completely OBSESSED with it. It engulfs every moment and plagues my thoughts with all of its possibilities.

A little back ground... I've been frequenting craft blogs for the past few months now, checking out other's creative minds and letting mine evolve. I've been so crazy w/ work and life (see post below) that I really didn't have anytime to myself. I was blessed to receive a bonus from work for all of my hard work and with that little gift of thanks I went and bought myself this:


I set up two nights ago and tested her out! PHENOMENAL! I love my little singer. She's going to do me well, I can just feel it.

I'm need to hem my first project and it will be done, I've got my next pinned and ready to create, and I've got an exploded mind of idea's sketched on clipboards hidden at work. I'm so excited for my new hobby!

Oh the possibilities.

Busy Busy and LOVING it

So my last real update was back in July... it is now September and I'm pretty sure August was the busiest month of the year thus far.


-Trip to San Jose for grandma's funeral and visiting the Burdett's

-Spencer bought his new Tahoe

-Lash Extension class

-Collaborating w/ my interior designer and spa owner for the design of the Beauty and Body Lounge "Brow Bar"

-Planning the HUGE open house Event for the grand opening of the "Brow Bar" at work

-Juggling spending time with Spencer and Max

-Goodbye parties for my friends leaving for college

-YSA 18th ward and regional activities

-Being the event coordinator at the grand opening of the "Brow Bar" - being the eyes, ears, hands, feet and brains behind it all.



I feel on top of my game!!! I love being so busy I can barely function. I wouldn't have been able to get through any of this with out the help of my amazing Spencer, my patient parents, and my employers trusting me to just go with it! I feel I've really stepped it up at work! I love love love being a receptionist for the Beauty and Body Lounge....... but I miss being an esthetician... Lucky for me I am officially on the books! That's right I can take clients now!!!! I'm hoping to really make a home here at the BbL!
