projects!

So this weekend all I wanted to do was be a homebody. =) I say that almost every weekend because I never end up doing it! I always ended up staying busy and going out with friends. I was determined this weekend though.

I was persuaded to go out to a movie on Friday with a friend from school to see The Other Guys--hilarious, but other than that I was pretty successful in comparison to other weekends. That same friend persuaded me to go to Joann's Fabric Store friday after school to get some fabric for a project. I also needed fabric for some pillows I'm making for my room and plus it's always fun to think of other projects while you're there. ;-) I ended up spending way more than anticipated and also have a lot of work cut out for me! I'm excited though.

Saturday was a typical day of working and teaching swim lessons. I was going to go rent a wetsuit for my triathalon next weekend (last one this season!) but Jimmy convinced me to come home to our neighborhood block party. I accidently ate some shrimp and pork not knowing what I was eating! haha

I had a billion things to do--homework, errands involving Target and Michaels, and preparing my young women's lesson. So I went to Target first and as I was walking by the little girls section I saw this:
So it was on sale for super cheap and I thought to myself, surely I can do something with this fabric! So I got a size large and went home and went to work (after taking myself on a date to Panera Bread first ;-))

This is the outcome! I wore it to church today.


I got another one in a different color and pattern, slightly larger so I have different plans for that one. So, more to come!

In other news, I'm doing one more tri next weekend in Folsom! I'm excited but a little nervous because I definitely took a little break from training after my last tri in July. It should be okay though! I'm doing in with my friend Dane. I also signed up for my first marathon in Sacramento in December!!! It's a qualifier for the Boston Marathon so I think I'm going to try! Crazy! I'm excited though!
