i can do hard things

So a friend of mine asked me if I could alter her pants because it was too big around her hips. I've never done this type of altering before. I knew in theory how to do it, but i've never done it before. So with that I told her I'd try, but hopefully just the theory of it would help me out.

They turned out perfectly.

And I got paid to do alterations--do you know how wierd that is? I guess I could make a career out of my sewing skills. :)

Firebolt

This made me laugh. Divine Comedy is hilarious!

I Can't Believe It

I'm actually buying something from ModCloth! I've been swooning over this suit for ages, and I'm using some of my birthday money to get it. I'm sooooo excited to have a cute swimsuit that I can hang out at the pool in all summer long.

And it has polka-dots :)

Speaking about Parachute

This song is beautiful. He is beautiful. I totally forgot how good this band is.

I Don't Need a Parachute

I love Ingrid's hair. And I like the song though it is so different than her normal music.

Frills and Flounces and Ruffles. Oh My!

So for an early birthday present/end of the school year/rocking my finals sort of present I bought myself this book.

I got home last week and saw the package sitting on my table and I ripped the box open and immediately started to devour the pictures/info. All I want now is to design a big dress and make it. My only problem is I have no where to where a big frilly dress too. Sad day. But I may just make one anyway.

Blessed

I feel so very, very blessed. I know that Heavenly Father answers prayers. I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and I was able to find a job--within a week after my old job closed. I'll be working at Veg Prep at my university--basically chopping up vegetables and prepping hot entrees and other salads for catering. I was so worried that I wouldn't find a job before I left for Disney World this fall for my internship, but I'm so glad that I was blessed.
