Bored Inc!

I'm not going to lie, there are so many tshirt sites on the internet to buy shirts from, that Bored Inc somehow slipped right past me! Then I stumbled upon a giveaway for a Bored Inc shirt at Cake Mom (Thank you again!!!) , so on a whim I decided to enter, and I won! Much to my surprise, as there were over 120 comments.

I chose this shirt:

Mainly because it cracked me up and made me smile. There are a TON of adorable and hilarious designs and sayings to choose from, in everything from t-shirts to belts to tote bags to magnets to onesies for babies. A couple other faves:

It showed up today while I was at work! The shirt is amazingly soft and the print is crisp on the front. I put it on to make sure it fit, and it fits perfectly. Then my dear husband came out of the shower and cracked up.

All in all, if you haven't heard of Bored Inc, you should for sure check them out for all kinds of adorable-ness!

Time To Learn!

I've had a sewing machine for 3 years now. I have maybe used it a handful of times, mainly because I have no idea what I am doing with it! Tomorrow I am going to my mothers house, and she is excellent with a sewing machine! So she is going to help me make a few things so I can get the jist of it, and make more fun new things on my own. :)

First Lesson : Hemming pants. Every pair of jeans I own is about half a foot too long, because I'm ridiculously short. She's going to show me how to do this and not have them look goofy. (I'm not very good with a sewing machine, and straight lines don't happen!)

Second Lesson : Dog bed for Riley! He never seemed comfortable on any of the beds we have tried, so I am making him a nice soft one. I hit up Joann Fabrics buy 1 get 1 free anti-pill fleece sale. I also picked up some thread in the common colors, as that was also buy 1 get 1 free. Below are the prints I picked up. The blue is the top of the bed, the red is the bottom. :)




Third Lesson : I picked out a pattern a couple months ago for a style shirt that I really liked, picked up the fabric, and all the necessary items, and we are going to work on it tomorrow. Shirt C on this pattern. The fabric I picked out is a chocolate brown charmeuse with sage green dots on it.


Fourth Lesson if it's not too late : Pin cushions. I found an awesome pattern for a cute mushroom pin cushion (caught the pattern on sale for $0.99!) that I would like to make.

Here's hoping for a good day! :)
