First article up....... and other ramblings

My first article has been published for Blissfully Domestic! Now that everyone is probably knee deep in back to school papers, schedules, etc maybe you are thinking a little organization might help. And what better way to get organized when there is a fun and stylish DIY project involved! That's what my article is all about! Take a peek!

I happened to catch a commercial saying that Stephenie Meyer will be on Ellen on Tuesday! Definately going to catch that! I think I have a few "Twilight" fan blog readers here.......

and speaking of T.V., there's nothing like watching The Biggest Loser with a nice big bowl of ice cream and large pregnant belly. Makes a girl feel "good"..............*sigh* (rolling eyes). I have a serious case of denim envy right now. I'd LOVE to look cute in a regular sized pair of jeans with a zipper and a button! LOL!!! I guess it all comes soon enough!

Treating myself.....

I have been busy fliting in and out of town - short trips - finishing up a few sewing projects and attending to details for an upcoming event I was in charge in. Glad to have the event off my plate with and done. whew!

I created a custom order pair of women's "Shaggy Mosaic" jeans for a new customer. She wanted jewel tones with accents brown and black added. It's been awhile since I have taken any custom orders because I was ill for so long in the early part of my pregnancy, but it felt good to create this rich colorful design and work with the denim again. Here's a few peeks at how they turned out. (you know I love to share photos!)

Of course it's Miss Anna's Garden Party fabric again. I just loved all the rich, deep, jewel toned colors and variation of pattern and size of the designs as well. I hope that the customer likes them!

So after getting a few big projects completed, I had to treat myself! I've
spent a few days glued to the new Stephenie Meyer book, Breaking Dawn, which completes the Twilight series of books. *sigh*..................I'm sad for them to be done but the new book was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! They author definately did not disappoint! There will not be any spoilers here! I would have hated to have stumbled across a spoiler before getting to read it myself. Just a bit of fun summer reading and a good break from reality. *snicker*

Vampire Fan

I've posted about the "Twilight series" before but if you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet - I HIGHLY suggest you do. Ask your hubby to buy you the first book - Twilight - for Mother's day. It's a love story and yes it's about vampires. Totally not my style but I reluctantly bought a copy and immediately got sucked in! I was "thristy" for the next one as I devoured the book in 3 days. BUT now the first teaser has been released for the movie which comes out this December. It looks good!!! take a peek here or here for the FULL screen version.

The author, Stephenie Meyer has just been selected as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2008! how excitng and congrats to her! She is a very talented writer!
