This Week

This week was rough. It was month end at work so it was very busy and crazy. To top it all off I got the 24 hour bug on the last day! Ugh it hits you like a ton of bricks that it for sure! What makes it worse is that even though I couldn't go to work ( there was no way I was driving 45 minutes to be nausaus and useless all day) but I had to work from home and make sure I answered every email if I was needed...not fun. I am not sure  if I mentioned this but I switched jobs at the end of December and even though I like working at this new place, I am not over the moon for it. So when the director of accounting called from my old job and offered me a higher position it was not hard to make the decision to go back. That being said the manager at my new job thinks I am going to be slacking til I leave hence the reason I had to work while I was home puking....sometimes I am not a fan of accounting. The only good thing that came from this was when I was feeling better that afternoon I actually got some sewing done on my quilt! WEEEE!!!



I am sooooo excited for this!! It is actually alot better then I imagined it would be =) I still have two more of these rows to go but I couldn't be happier with how it is progressing! This is the farthest I have gone on a quilt since my first one! I cannot wait for the top to be done and I have already ordered the binding! I am going to use a red candy stripe fabric, I think it will really pop with all the white =). I am having a little trouble deciding on a backing but I will figure it out.

Besides that I sewed a little this weekend too. I have had the same checkbook cover since I was 17 so it was time to whip up another one. They are sew easy to sew and I got so excited that I forgot to iron in the interfacing! =( it is a little too floppy for me so I am going to have to make another one. Oh well still pretty!




 


I also decided to change up my beauty routine. For the last few weeks I have become very interested in make-up. Don't ask me why, all of a sudden I wanted to buy it and wear it. I researched what kinds were good, I you tubed how to videos and started a nice little collection.







This is some of the stuff I have bought....a little crazy but I am liking it so far. I never wore make-up before unless it was for something special, maybe to work sometimes, but after going to the gym so much I really wanted to start looking and dressing a little nicer. I might have gone a little wild on the purchases ( I need to start controlling my impulse buying) but after learning a few tricks I have never felt prettier! I am really enjoying it =)






Even decided to try a new toothpaste to help whiten my teeth a little and a razor that is supposed to be ten times better then any woman's razors. Evidentally they use duller blades on the women's razors since we use them more often so we buy the refills more. I read that somewhere haha so wanted to switch it up a little.

That is prolly a little TMI for most people haha so I will stop it there. I have a few thrift store finds to share tomorrow!
