2) my main crafty project this past week was highlighted in my last post -- my joint effort with miriam in making levi's birthday pillow. levi is guaranteed to love anything involving a car or a truck, so we bought some "cars" fleece and i helped her personalize it by stitching his name onto it. i sewed it into a pillow on my mom's sewing machine and then we stuffed it. it was quite simple and a lot of fun to do together... and levi loves it!
3) another trip to the thrift store, again with no agenda in mind, and this time there was a sign at the door that said "buy one ladies' sweater and get the second for 99 cents!" i wasn't really in need of sweaters to wear, but i did recall something i thought i had heard about felting old wool sweaters in order to reuse them to create something "new". i grabbed a couple so we'll see what they become!
4) i have started collecting free tutorials and patterns i find online for future use. one place i have found some great ones is sewmamasew.
on deck this week: in honor of the loads of snow and bitterly cold temps we are presently having, we are going to bring some of the winter beauty inside with coffee filter snowflakes as well as attempting some 3D paper snowflakes.
and, just for fun, the exercise update: i have been getting my (behind) kicked at some pretty intense aerobics classes with a super spunky instructor. tonight i will submit myself to it once again and then negate it all at the coffee shop with a couple of girlfriends. :)
