advent part 1a

I finished embroidering the numbers on the felt pockets that I am planning on using for the project I am working on. I am thinking of giving the finished product to someone so I think I will keep it on the DL for now...but I may post up pics of it here and there...I've decided embroidering is quite fun, and I keep thinking of ways to use it!

Weekend Wind-Down...

Yesterday, M came over to watch some of the games on TV. I've basically dropped to close to last in the pool, but it's still fun to watch and root for the teams. We had KFC for lunch and had a ton leftover...it was delicious though :-) I also went over to visit my parents and my brother was home, so we got a chance to catch up a bit.

The Madness

This weekend will be dedicated to basketball...although I did get a chance to get a haircut...The madness is once again upon us...actually it started on Thursday. So far I've been doing ok in the brackets, but never first. Oh well, I guess it limits the smack talking :-)

Something Useful

Yesterday after work, I felt like I needed to do something creative. I also wanted to get rid of this pile of newspapers, ads, and magazines just sitting on the kitchen counter. So I grabbed a box that used to hold the skillet, cut a little bit here and there, used a pottery barn bag and some ribbon and ta-da! A nifty little holder.

There always seems to be some sort of material item that is on my wish list. I wonder if there will ever be a time where there are nothing on that list. The funny thing is that once the item leaves that list, I feel just a bit more satisfied. Especially if that item has been on the list for quite some time. I guess if it was something that had stayed on the list, then it must have been quite important? One can only hope that is the case.
