I took my first sewing class today. Please pardon the ridiculous pun used for the title of this post. I had so much fun! I learned SO much today, and I'm so happy that I got to take this class. It was a three hour class and we made a tote bag! We learned all about the sewing machine, so I'm hopeful that I will be able to learn how to use MY sewing machine too. It seems like it may be a bit of a pricey hobby, but I really enjoyed it today. I'm hoping when we move into our new place I can set up a little crafty type of station with my desk in the living room. Here is what I made today!

I have been obsessing over paint swatches, accessory colors, fabric, curtains, and anything else you could think about for a new home, because we will be moving to a new place in a month or two! We are so thrilled and excited to be moving into a townhome that Jason's parents bought to be an investment property. For the first year+ Jason and I will live in it.

And YES we will have a guestroom for only that purpose now, so please start planning your visits accordingly. We can't wait for ...

This morning, Jason and I had a little morning date! We got up early at went to Starbucks to use one of the giftcards my students gave me. (Sidenote: I NEVER got presents as a high school teachers. I don't even have my own class now, and I got 3 gifts this year. Awesome.) Then we drove up to the Flatirons Mall to see a movie! We saw X-Men First Class, and it was fantastic. I highly recommend it, even if you aren't a giant nerd like me. It was a really fun action movie. While we were waiting for the movie to start, we stopped into Crate & Barrel, one of our favourite home stores. Of course, we found a million things that we loved and had to have for our house... but we only bought one thing. Well, one set of things. Oh my word, is this not the cutest little dog bowl ever? Yeah, we only shopped for Kingsley. The amazing news about him is: He ate out of the bowl! That's right, our little prissy dog that only eats off a placemat ate out of a bowl today. Hallelujah. We got h...
