Another Crafty day!

Here is the inside with a built in pocket for my cell phone and a pen!

Sorry I couldn't get it to rotate, but isn't it cute?

So my roommate Marianne really likes to sew and I am always telling her she needs to teach me, because she makes the cutest stuff. Well last week I went with her to this fabric shop and I found the cutest material. Marianne talked me into getting the fabric and that I should make a bag. So I did, yesterday we went to find handles for the bag and we couldn't find any we liked, so we decided to buy some beads and make a beaded handle. The beads we found didn't match so we bought paint and painted them last night. We weren't sure if they would turn out but we still did it. So this morning we got started on the bag. All I can say is that I am so impressed with myself that I made such a cute bag. I think they turned out so cute and our beaded handles are so cute! This was my first sewing project in like 10 year and I think I did a mighty fine job! Let see what you think!

Small town girl + jetted bath tub= A REALLY BIG MESS!

So as most of you know, I just moved down to Orem on Friday. As excited as I was about moving away from Logan for a major change in my life, I was just as excited about my new apartment! Let's just say out of the 4 years I have lived away from home, this new place is definately the nicest! I moved into a condo, that one of my roommates owns, so it's really taken care of. As sad as it sounds, I was really excited because my new apartment has a fridge that has the ice maker/water dispenser, and it also has a jetted bath-tub, and to everyone's amazement I have never had either one of these Luxuries in my whole life. Well here is where the story begins. Tonight I wasn't feeling very good, and I had kind of had a bad day, so I decided it was a perfect night to take a bath in my jetted tub. Well figuring it couldn't be that hard to take a bath I got in. So I started the water and added my favorite bubble bath. And of coarse, anyone who knows me, knows I don't have patients. I wonder to myself wether I needed to wait for the water to rise above the jets, but figured I would be okay. To my amazement the jets started up and started shooting water full blast out of the jets. Bubbles started raising up like river in the spring time and water and bubbles are going EVERYWHERE! In a mad panic I started getting hold of the shower curtain to try and stop showering the rest of the bathroom, but that didn't work. Water was shooting into my face, causing me to not SEE a thing, and every second that goes by my bathroom is getting flooded by suds. Finally the water reached it's height where it should have been prior to turning on the jets and my blood pressure finally went down. When I finally got my composure, and could see again, there were suds everywhere and water dripping from the ceiling. So much for my relaxing bubble bath, but I did get a pretty good laugh at myself after a pretty rough day! :)

What happened to SPRING?

So this past week up here in Logan has been so nice! All of the snow has melted and it's beginning to look like spring time! I have had the worst spring fever! I can hardly wait for the flowers to bloom, the grass to turn green, and the birds to be chirping! That is until today when I woke to this! Look at these pictures! I think so far Logan has got a foot and a half of snow! Can you believe it! Look at the snow on top of the fire hydrant!

It's looking pretty wintery out there!

Snow falling as I was leaving for work this morning!

My car covered in snow. And it looked even worse tonight as I was leaving work! Twice today I had to scrap that much snow off my car! YUCK!

Well I definately realized today that I really really hate winter, and I definately live in the wrong place! I guess all I can to is hope for SPRING to come SOON!

Crafty Mary's Back!

Marianne and Me is our cute towel wraps!

My wrap, isn't the towel so cute?

So this weekend I went down to Orem to see my friend Marianne! She is a very crafty person and has always got a new project on her hands. Well you can't really blame her, because she teacher in the home-ec department. While we were out shopping I found this really cute towel wrap that has straps so it stays on once your out of the shower. I thought about buying it, when Marianne say's I have a really cute pattern to make those and I have been wanting to make one. So we decided to have a craft day and make us a towel wrap. I think they turned out pretty cute, don't you? It was a lot of fun, and I think now that I know how to make them they would be a cute gift. Thanks Marianne for showing me how to make these and for teaching me how to sew on a button! I had never done it until now, I think I did an okay job!

Kathy Van Zeeland

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am obessed with Kathy Van Zeeland purses! They are so cute, I just love them. It's a really bad addiction I have, when every couple of months I find myself on the lookout for a new Kathy bag. Well a few months ago I was shopping looking for a purse when I spotted a Kathy overnight bag. I freaked, because I had been looking for a cute overnight bag and to my amazement I found one and it just so happened to be a Kathy. So of coarse I bought. Since then, in the back of my mind I had been wondering if there was such a thing as a matching Luggage set to go with my bag. I might have expensive taste, but I'm cheap when it comes to buying my purses. I'm a frequent shopper of Ross and T.J Maxx, so my odds of finding the matching set is little to none! Well this weekend I went down to visit an old roommate of mine that lives in Orem. We decided we would hit up Ross to see if we could strike a deal. To my amazement I just so happened to look over and spot the matching travel duffle bag with a pull handle and wheels. I almost started to jump up and down and scream. Well of coarse I bought it and went on the rest of my day shopping. But my friend didn't find what she was looking for so she asked if it was okay if we went to the Ross and T.J. Maxx in Provo. I said okay and wasn't expecting anything. Sure enough what did I find, but the matching suit case. I seriously freaked and just kept saying it's just meant to be and I was supposed to have this! So I purchased it and now I'm on a hunt to get the rest of the Luggage set. I have a ways to go because I think it's an 11 piece set, but I'm on my way with 3! YAY!! My adorable suit case!

The very cute duffle bad!

The 3 piece set!

Looks like I'm all set to take a trip! I'm thinking Hawaii is calling my name!

Cutest Boy Alive!

I just had to show everyone my CUTE nephew Landon! Isn't this the cutest little boy you ever saw! Oh he is a doll! I love you Landon!
