green- because thats what color my world is right now

so this is the first spring in a loooong time that didn't show up in the middle of a drought. i. love. all of it! when i sit in the sewing room with the windows open all i can smell are the flowers! they are everywhere! earlier i was taking some photos for some etsy stuff and this is the background i got: just on the other side of the yard is this:
and just in the other room is the most perfect part about spring time- baby animals!
let it out, "awwwww...." we have 4 beautiful shih tzu puppies! they are still super cute, none of those inevitable google eyes or under bites yet! tyler's momma is getting this one for her birthday!
this also is perfect yard sale weather- its like, my time to shine! a lot of people seem to be clearing out their sewing patterns lately, which is good news for my unnecessary need to purchase them... not so good for my wallet since i still haven't found a job...
i am making some clothes for a friend who is going to the UN later this year, but i am so far getting paid in sewing patterns and gift cards which is totally fine with me. if i don't get a gift card to a store i'll probably never buy shoes...

well, unless they are like, ten dollars...

ye ol' boot boot

i got laid off on friday. sucks ass. so to make the most of my time i started cleaning out/ organizing the tornado alley that is my sewing space. so far the spare bedroom has been unearthed from mounds upon mounds of fabric and etsy clothing, i found a big box of old sewing goodies, my buttons are almost all sorted out by color:

and i finally set up this sexy beast of a sewing machine:

its pretty much safe to say, i am in love with this sewing machine! tyler's mom gave it to me a few months ago. i haven't set it up yet because i thought it would take a lot of time to get all of the kinks figured out- which it did, but i think one quick trip to the sewing store can have this running perfect!
i already used it on a skirt and a dress i have been working on, but the bobbin case is broken in one spot and cracked in another- i think it keeps catching the thread. Also the light bulb is out... but that isn't too big of a deal.

what the hell did i do to deserve this?

white russians are maybe my most favorite drink and this shit happens every damn time i drink one! fuck you dairy allergies, fuck you.

on a side note, this weekend it rained a whole bunch and due the the low water crossing on my road, my two day weekend was magically transformed into a three day weekend! it only flooded one day, just enough to get some sewing done at the house with time for shenanigans the rest of the weekend. Anywho, the following awesome stuff happened:
we made and ate DINO BROWNIES:

my brother and his amazing girlfriend got engaged!

(true story- he totally is not retarded... or better yet- is not totally retarded)

tyler and i went to the flea market and i got a bunch of new etsy treasures:(this one is my favorite)

plus i took the photos for about a bazillion other etsy items, so's you might wanna check that out sometime soon...
tyler and i went to wimberley and hungout with his grand-dad and dad-dad, as well as a quick stop for the worlds best bloody mary's in san marcos! ill probably post up the photos of my dress i made and the dress i didnt make tomorrow... unless i forget

which is likely.
