Feeling Domestic...

I'm not sure exactly what it is....but today I started feeling really domestic. I don't exactly want to vacuum the carpet....I just feel the need to create something. I've got the urge to sew something pretty. How weird is that?? The last time I touched a sewing machine, I managed to knot it up pretty good. In fact, I think it might still be out of comission. [Oops!] I found a cute girls blog (I don't know how to link to it), and she sews all sorts of cute clothes. she took a onesie and attached fabric to it to make a cute dress for her daughter. Um...adorable! I just look at a sewing machine, and I imagine all the super cute stuff I could make! :) Perhaps I'll attempt to learn how to sew. :) I've thrown myself into scrapbooking, and I like to think that getting I'm pretty good at it :) But I think I'd like to become more crafty and domestic-y. I just want to create cute things for my home, my family, my friends. So far, I'm good for a scrapbook page. That's about all. :p I have a couple other ideas. A cute girl makes what she calls "Big Pages" and frames them. I think I'd like to tackle one myself. For a gift. For someone special. Speaking of making gifts....I've been working on a super cute project for someone special! ;) Curious? Is it bugging you yet? That's too bad. It won't be unveiled until its done. Hopefully, that'll be sooner than later. :) But so far its beyond cute, and I'm super excited to gift it. And I think this person will LOVE it as well. At least, I hope so :) So stay tuned for that, but don't hold your breath. It probably won't be ready till after vacation.

Speaking of vacation...

We're leaving for Big Lake next weekend. Do I need to even tell you how excited we are? Because we are beyond excited. We've been anxiously counting down the days. We're staying the full week, and we can't wait. Last year, we had just gotten married, and we only went for a weekend. We're going the entire week this year. Lots and lots of fishing awaits us. I'm even taking some scrapbooking :D Yes, I'm that much of a dork. But I have lots of cute kits made and ready, so I don't have to take all my stuff. Just the basics. It'll keep me busy. I need to get a book. Still debating reading Twilight. Natalie thinks I should. Half the world thinks I should. I'm still being stubborn and holding out. But I haven't completely dismissed the idea. We'll see. I usually end up taking a couple Harry Potter books. :) But I've read them all numerous times....it might be nice to read something new. :) We shall see :p

So...I can't think of much more to blog on about. We're alive and well. :)

I love all your scrapbook pages. So cute. I am so jealous that you are going to Big Lake for the week. Wish we could be there. Maybe next year. You should definitely read Twilight. It is entertaining.

I'm with you...I don't love vacuuming, I love CREATING! :)

Lauren talked me into reading Twilight quite long ago. I picked it up just before starting dinner and was hooked from the very first chapter! It's pretty hard making dinner with one hand holding a book in front of your face, but that's exactly what I did! And HEY! I'm an old geezer, and STILL love it! Read it! Read it! :D

Thanks for commenting on my silly blog! :)
