Weekend Fun

Since starting my new job, by far the biggest perk is having off for entire weekends. After years and years of being a server, I almost forgot what weekends off were like. Dalanna and I went out to the Lancaster Brewing Company for free food Friday. Happy hours are a wonderful thing but by 10 o'clock I was on the couch watching Roman Holiday and falling asleep. Nonetheless, still a very fun Friday for me.

Since I fell asleep so early, I also woke up early. 5:45 to be exact. I wandered around the house for awhile and watched This American Life episodes on Netflix. Then it was time for Saturday morning yard sales! I am so addicted.
These boys tried to talk me into buying a bun bun (only $19!) but really I just acted like I might buy one because I really really wanted to hold one. So cute. I did end up buying a flowery stamp set, a vintage dress and cardigan, Kill Bill, a six book craft series, and two framed pieces of artwork. I'm not sure I really needed any of that, but hey that's how yard sales go. Then home to my friends and family I went!
Saw the cutest little boys in the entire world...and had some Hibachi!

My brother is finally home from Europe and he dropped by with some very neat little gifts. I can't wait until my other European travelers arrive home safe and sound to me.

FINALLY!

Yayyyyyy I got a new camera! I can't stop taking pictures, I've already took over 200 shots. It's addicting... So here's a few of my favorites from the past 3 hours that I've had my new toy.

Pepper...or maybe Salt?
On the way to the grocery store.
Don't make fun of how he walks.
On the way home.
Backyard beauty.
Played some music.

Recorded some music.
Shot some guns.
Played some more music.
Then played with the cat.

I haven't gotten much else done to say the least.

Rain rain go away...

Stuck inside today...only left to get veggies and coffee at market. The coffee must have worked its magic though, I was hard at work all day.

New dress (I love this fabric)
New summer blouse...

Then I decided to make coasters out of old cd cases I found in my desk drawer...

But by opening them up, I decided to consider it artwork!

The images are from very old greeting cards that you can find at pretty much any flea market....this project was so simple, c'mon give it a try!

Pretty Little French Girl

My dear friend Gabby is celebrating her birthday today! I made her a dress that is just perfect for her...she told me she'll be wearing it in France during her upcoming trip - SewNasty goes to France? Sounds good to me haha.

Workin' Girl

Got to work today and have done some of my best sewing. It's about time, since I just got my car inspected and it turns out my car that ran just fine in my opinion had almost $700 worth of work to be done. I decided that I wish it were like the dentist and if you didn't want a filling for your cavity (work done to your car) then you could say no thanks dentist (mr. inspector). It's just too bad it doesn't work that way...

So in that case - cool stuff going up in my shop to pay for my brake drums (did you know brakes had drums?)

New Items!

New items in my shop now!


and more....check it out!

Just Dandy

Things have been good "down on the farm". We've successfully moved in and have begun making it our home. This house brings out a new kind of happiness...it's amazing.

I've been practicing my sharpshooting...
Having lots of friends over for food and drinks and nights on the porch....And spending lots of time decorating and organizing and cleaning (all of which is enjoyable somehow). Dalanna put candles in mason jars on our porch last night and we drank mojitos with fresh mint from her garden and it was lovely.

Now as for the craft related portion of this post....
Here's my sewing nook! I'll return soon with some new items I've been working on, but it's too beautiful out to spend another second updating my blog.
