Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!
I hope everyone has been having a wonderful holiday! I am pretty pumped about my Christmas this year.  Not only did I get to spend a ton of time with my parents/dog, we had some fun too! I got my dad a bunch of records, and made my mom a book to use during her upcoming retirement! I also got the Martha Stewart craft station, which I have been looking at for a LONG time and am IN LOVE with!
Besides Christmas, I've been up to a whole lotta nothing, and have been loving it...for the most part. I got to see my best friend in the world this past week...he's probably the most amazing person I know...It was amazing being able to see him again after so long.

Sorry I've been so low on posts lately...I havn't had much to do topic wise but should have some more coming up as I am starting project life for 2013!

Lack of ideas, finals, and final recovery=Lack of blogs.

So I've pretty much been running on caffine for the past few weeks. I had finals last week, and while I only had three of them...they were BRUTAL...but now I am done. I've spent the past 4ish days 'recovering' and just chillaxin.

So, now that I have some time, AND some ideas, I'd like to share my 4 favorite designers!

They are in no particular order, as I do not favor one over another.

1) Whimsy Couture, she is absolutely phenomenal I love love LOVE all of her designs. I have even been lucky enough to be a pattern tester for her a couple times!

Here is her Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/whimsy.couture?ref=ts&fref=ts
and her Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/whimsycouture?ga_search_query=whimsy+couture&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all&ref=sr_gallery_5

2) Violette Field Threads, another amazing designer. I love her style of design and how sweet it is!

3) Blissful Sewing/Thread Couture, one of my most recent 'discoveries'. Absolutely ADORABLE designs, and I love the variety.

4) Lastly is Heidi&Finn. I discovered them almost 2 years ago when I started sewing seriously. They design for both boys and girls which I love. As much as I love sewing dresses and pretyt things, the occasional sweatshirt is nice too :)

So, check out these ladies today! They have a great and short turn around time from purchase to pdf download, and they are EXTREMELY HELPFUL if you ever need clarification on patterns.

So I'm a failure...

At blogging. Seriously...how long has it been? This is just sad.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING...only like 2 weeks late >.>...

But for the remainder of my thankfulness...I can sum it up like this.

I am thankful for the quiet thanksgiving that I had with my family
I am thankful for spending black friday with my amazing friends, Katie and Hayley and Nathalie...
And lastly...
I'm thankful for the last four years that I've spent with an amazing person, who has truly impacted my life. I already wrote about him once for my 30 days, but he really has impacted me that much...I'm who I am, I'm here now, because of him.


I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you...

~Wicked, For Good

The above literally explains it all perfectly...

Hopefully I am back in a shorter amount of time...after this week (Wednesday) I'm on break for 5 1/2 weeks...which will be very nice.
