New skirt!

I bought a new pencil skirt today for work. It is adorable! I had a little "Back to School" money from my Mom left (Thanks Mom!) so I wanted to get a tasteful skirt that I could wear to work. I tend to buy clothes and keep them for years, so I decided to invest a little more money in this skirt since I keep things for so long. It was $70 full price, but they were having a 30% off full price items sale for today only! It ended up being $48. I think that's a pretty good deal for a skirt that I can wear in three seasons!

It's light grey, so it will be perfect for fall. Then with tights under it, it will transition nicely into winter. And with a fun flowy floral top (maybe with a skinny belt, Katelyn? Eh?) it will work for Spring!

I have this really bad habit where I buy new clothes and forget to wear them. (I'm sorry, blue sailor-ish pants that I bought at Christmas 2009 and white skirt that I bought in Ireland in January 2006. Seriously, sorry.) So I'm going to make a point to wear this new skirt THIS WEEK. Oh and those blue pants too. Cause I told myself I'd wear them last week. White skirt, I don't know if you're ever going to make it into the rotation. My bad...

I can't find a bigger picture online, so here's a link to the page on the LOFT website of the new skirt!

Now someone make sure to ask me later in the week if I wore it.

Oh sister friend, that is a super cute skirt! I think the flowing, floral top with the belt would be great! And another great look, if you wanted it to be more structured, would be a fitted button up with a long necklace. Très chic!

Spain just won the World Cup! Alas, I was rooting for the Netherlands. But I've been to Spain! So I'm excited for them too. The view from the Alhambra in Granada.

First Finished Quilt!

Image
I am so proud. After over a month of working on it (off and on), I finally finished my first quilt! For some reason I was having anxiety about quilting and especially binding it, but it ended up being totally fine. I don't know why I was so worried. It turned out great! Mission accomplished... he likes it!

Mother's Day

Happy day after Mother's Day! I hope you got to enjoy the day with your mom, or if you can at least talk to her on the phone. I'm writing this the week before Mother's Day, but I plan to Skype with my mom, and my mother-in-law will be in town staying with us! I really wanted to make something for my mom and mother-in-law this year. I can only make so many random things for myself, so I love getting to make things for my family! Sorry family, expect homemade things for Christmas and birthdays this year... I'm having way too much fun to stop! My Mother-in-law Karen has a Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Fire. Conveniently, both devices have almost the same dimensions. Sweet! So I made her a soft case for whichever one she chooses. Jason went to the fabric store with me and helped pick out the fabric. He specifically wanted something purple. We picked the outside fabric first, then had a bit of trouble finding a coordinating fabric for the lining. When Jason saw this...
