Scattegories soccer

Tonight we had a game night at my brothers
and my best friend sat out from playing cards
and played soccer with my nephew using a scattegories die.

cutest thing i've ever seen.

He's way too fun.

"I mustache you a question"-Reverse Applique Tutorial

REVERSE TSHIRT APPLIQUE TUTORIAL:

 First I must say, I am no sewing expert, but I do my best.

This project compared to others that I attempt, is really easy :) 

Supplies: A t-shirt, fabric, scissors, sewing pins, paper and pencil

(p.s. sorry i took all these with my cellular)

1. First I looked up a mustache on Google,  and traced it via my laptop. They I cut it out. 

( you don't need to choose a mustache, although I recommend it, cause mustaches are classy.)

 2. Choose where you would like the design on your shirt, and pin it down.

(I chose the bottom right corner)

 3. Then flip the tshirt inside out and lay the fabric around the area with the right side facing in, and pin it down. 

 4. Flip your shirt so it's right side out and sew around the edge of the paper, it's a very helpful guide :) 

5. Once it's all sewed up pull the paper off of your tshirt 

(hint: If it gets stuck in the thread then pull it out with some tweezers)  

 6. Pinch up a piece of the top fabric and cut along the thread line,

being careful not to cut the thread or the underlying fabric.

 7. Flip your shirt inside out again and cut off the extra fabric, so it doesn't bunch up.

 8. Wah-lah! All done :) 

here's a couple other reverse applique's i did today.. :) 

( I sort of got carried away)

I hope you like this tutorial and try it yourself :) 

If you do make sure you send me some pictures, and tell me how it went! 

Happy sewing.

Valentine's day was wonderful :)

Valentine's day was a dream. 

Ben gave me peach roses (my favorite kind),
cat valentine's (most of them wearing sweaters),
and last but not least *drum roll* INGRID MICHAELSON TICKETS :)
He is way to good to me, I really can't even stand it.

Oh, other gift ben wanted to give me, 

He tried to trick about the date the new Ingrid cd was released..and really wanted to give it to me for valentines day, Even though I figured him out, I thought the guesture was so sweet that I did wait til valentines day to listen to the cd and I can't get enough.

This is my personal favorite. But the whole cd is truly a gift to the world :)

For our valentines festivitiesWe made lots of yummy treats (and a snitch marshmallow)

  

cheesy pun valentines...( mine is the popcorn one)

 then went to eat out at our favorite food place..cafe rio. Always a classic, and rather than joining the rest of the world and going to see The Vow..we went to see Chronicle and it was the greatest. Like I never truly enjoy scary or suspensful movies cause i'm a scardey cat..but I just loved it a lot. It was way too wonderful. I reccomend it. 

All in all, I love my best friend a lot, and this year's valentine was definately one to remember :)

I got me a keeper

Things I dislike very much
1. Waking up feeling so sick
2. Not being able to find someone to cover my shift at work
3. Driving all the way down to Orem to find out they don't need me to come in...

Things I love very much
1. My best friends apartment being 5 minutes from my work so I don't have to drive all the way home again
2. Having him go to the store for me and come home with not only pepto-bismol but multi-racial valentine teddy bears
3. After medicine and resting going for a photo shoot in Provo, out to cafe rio, then to a 1920's themed institute dance with the funniest guy/best dancer I know

All in all, I'd say I got me a keeper.
