Last week, the
U was on Fall Break, which means Kyle and I (and the fish) packed our bags and
headed down to lovely St. George. Besides being about ten degrees warmer (which
is always appreciated) we get to spend time with Kyle’s family. As an added
bonus Conference was on while we were down and nothing beats watching
Conference in your jammies while eating cinnamon rolls and knowing that you
have a full week off from any type of responsibility.
It was also a
great week for a couple of other reasons:
1: Kyle was
able to finish all of his secondary applications for med school. Now we just
get to wait and see which schools want interviews!
2: Paul (mi
papa-in-law) finally got a knee replacement and while it’s a painful road to
recovery he was on enough pain medication to make every hospital visit pretty
funny.
3: I got a
sewing machine and actually made a quilt. Yes, you read that correctly, a real
quilt.
I’m not lying
when I say that I have a Pinterest addiction. Not only are there amazing
recipes on there but there are so many craft ideas I just want to try them all.
The only problem (aside from the endless amounts of money that I would like to
have) was that many of them required some kind of sewing. Since hand sewing is
not something I have hours to spend on (remember, I have a Pinterest addiction
that needs satisfying) learning how to sew on an actual machine seemed
reasonable. Except for the fact that I’ve never even touched one and they used
to scare me.
Well, I told
Julie (mi mama-in-law) and she set right to teaching me how. Of course there
was this adorable picture of a puff quilt that I had seen on Pinterest from
Honey Bear Lane (here’s a link to some of her awesome puff quilts
Yeah, those individual puffs took me forever.
Tomorrow after work I'll head over to a fabric shop to pick up some more fabric. I think my next quilt will be a brown and cream one. This could be my newest addiction.
