Practice makes perfect

Wednesday was the day that I fell in love with a piece of fabric.

Okay, now that's a little over-dramatic. But I suddenly had the urge after seeing many scarf diy's on pinterest and blogs to try to be a little crafty. Notice I said "try"...hahaha....

I went to Walmart and scanned the clearance fabric looking for any vintage looking patterns. I especially had my eye out for mustard yellow or gold. I have been IN LOVE with this color lately. It's the greatest. I found 2 different fabrics for $1.50/yard:

I was already really proud of my findings..and then I found..this...





And then it was love..... Just kidding. But I did get super excited.

My grandma and I have been planning a sewing lesson for a while now, but I finally called her when I got home from my trip to Walmart and I was pumped to head out to her house the next day to learn the ropes on the sewing machine. And to spend time with my cute grandma She's the best and always makes me laugh.

Guys..let me tell you..sewing machines are more difficult than they look. Or maybe I am just bad at it. I had all of these plans to make some awesome scarves, and I even told my friend Jess that I'd have a present for her. The dang machine kept jamming on me. I did get to make this headband out of scraps, though!!

Crazy eyes much??

I have been proudly rockin this headband for two days now.

And that brings me to the title of this post. Practice will hopefully make perfect. She gave me her sewing machine, so one day I will be a sewing pro. You just wait..a long time...but just wait.

In other news, one of my best friends Trish Lindsay is getting married tomorrow. I love her so much. And Zach! I have been parading around screaming "It's gonna be the best day EVER!!!"..like I do with every other exciting event in my life, but seriously, I am beyond pumped for tomorrow. For her. For him. For their marriage. For the PARTY of a wedding. Dang. The Lord is good. So good.

This week of spring break has been awesome and is quickly coming to an end. I have worked a couple of days, but other than that I have been able to relax and have some really great times hanging with some people that I rarely ever get to hang with anymore. Ludlow had a powderpuff volleyball tournament all week where the boys played one another. I went on two diffferent nights and it was HILARIOUS! The sophomore boys beat the seniors last night...uh oh..and the sophomores played the faculty in a pep rally today. What a great idea! So fun and a great way to raise money for the school. Props to you, Danie Frevola.

Have a fun-filled and blessed weekend. :)
