Handmade Goodies

Since beginning this blog I've had the pleasure of "meeting" a lot of you talented ladies out there. Not so much meet in the sense of face to face, but establishing more of an online friendship.

From blogging I have found two incredibly talented ladies, one who quilts and one who knits.

After seeing J's quilts on her blog, I knew I had to have one. A couple of weeks ago my finshed quilt arrived in the mail and I was blown away! It is simply perfect and I love this quilt that was made especially for me.



Even Boomer loves the quilt!



Since I'm not a knitter I was willing to shell out a pretty penny for a cute knit hat, but no need! M, over at Full of Heart, knitted me two adorable and perfect knit hats that were an amazing deal and she's actually knitting me two more because I loved the first two so much.



You've seen me in one of them before, I posted this pic last month sometime.



So..if you're not the craftiest person around it pays to have friends who are. :)

Thank You!

I'd like to say thanks to everyone for leaving me comments yesterday. I was overwhelmed by your kind words and good thoughts. That seriously made my day so much better!

Today I'm doing better. I haven't cried yet and I've even worked out. I'm actually on-post right now so I can use the computers and get a few errands done. Trying to navigate the internet using our PS3 was not fun. I mean it works...but I prefer to use an actual computer.

Since I'm in better spirits I thought I'd share a thought that came to me last night when I was talking to my best friend.

Am I the only person who wonders what Dolly Parton looks like without a wig?

Please tell me I'm not.

Clothes, Tests and Thanks

Thanks to everyone who commented yesterday. It's good knowing that I have a big support system out there in blog land.

As I mentioned last week, I've started looking into getting my Masters. I took a big step towards that yesterday and checked out the most recent studyguide for the GRE.

Looking at it, I'm a little intimidated. Not so much by the verbal or essay writing sections, but by the analytical section.

I suck at math. Seriously I do. I'm down with the basics, but algebra? geometry? Forget about it. Math was my lowest section on my ACT by far. I just hate it, I don't have a mathematical mind. So, I'm going to have to study A LOT for that portion.

So I saw the funniest thing yesterday. Sean and I had to go home 3 times yesterday morning because he had forgotten things. Don't ask... Anyway, as we are driving through our little town this car pulls out in front of the car in front of us and starts going really slow. The car honks, both cars pull to the side of the road and both men get out and start yelling at each other. I've heard that this happens, but I had never seen it actually happen. It was HILARIOUS!

For starters that would NEVER happen in the U.S. I mean if someone starts honking at you, you don't stop and get out, you just keep going. Well, at least I would.

Now, without further ado...another session of cute clothes to buy at Forever21.



Perfect pink bracelet for summer and spring.



Perfect casual top with some cute jeans and wedges.



An interesting hem for a little office spice.



Perfect for sipping margaritas at a summer party no?

Ciao!
