I feel like I am really out of the loop, off my game, etc... Ever since the kids got out of school 2 weeks early, things have been kind of chaos around here and my routine is all out of whack! I picked up my kindle last night for literally the first time in over 3 weeks. I even got a new book last week and I just started reading it last night. My usual reading time is in the mornings with coffee and at night before bed, but I got caught up watching Stargate: Atlantis and I was staying up sometimes until 1:30am and then sleeping later in the mornings so that just shot my reading all to heck. Normally I get into a book and I take my kindle and read any time I have a chance, but since I didn't have time to really get into anything I wasn't even doing that. I sat last night and read for about an hour and a half so I am into the book now and hopefully getting back into my reading groove! I have a handful of new books for series that I have been reading that I want to read now so I have to get back into it or I will be behind!
I made this yesterday in the hopes that it would jump start my reading and I guess it worked! I was going to work on the last order I had fabric for and when I pulled out all the stuff I realized that I didn't have any white zippers and I needed 2 for the Kari Sling Bag that was on my schedule. I have to make a zipper run today so I can get back on track. I also got a shipment of fabric yesterday evening so I have work for the rest of the week now. Anyway, back to the kindle sleeve...I bought three sample packs of Bari J scraps a few months ago. Basically she takes the bits of leftover fabrics from the projects that she makes with each line and she packages them together with buttons and little trinkets and sells them. I got 3 different lines for like $6 each, they each had probably a yard of fabric in them. Most of the fabric I used for this was from the Art Journal line, but I mixed in a couple fabrics from one of the other packs so I would have a little more variety. I wanted something different and I was looking on
Pinterest for ideas and ran across a gathered one like this and decided to try it out. I LOVE it, I think it's my favorite of all the ones I have made and I have made 6-7 of them for myself now! I love the summery colors. I love making these when I have time, they are so fun and it's nice to have something new every once in awhile. I still have a bunch of the fabric left too since the sides are pretty much made with scraps!
This past weekend since we got all caught up with Justified we decided to have a movie weekend. We watched Piranha, Drive Angry, Clash of the Titans and Black Death. Ok, I have to say that if we had seen the 1st two in 3D they may have been better! I liked both of them, but Piranha was SUPER cheesy and I think that 3D would have saved some of it, but some of it was way over the top ridiculous. That said, I really really like
Steven R. McQueen, who is, in fact THE Steve McQueen's grandson. He is also one of my favorite characters, Jeremy, on The Vampire Diaries. He saved it for me and to be fair most of the cheese was not directly related to his story! Drive Angry was less cheesy, but still would have been better in 3D. I am a Nicholas Cage fan so I will pretty much watch anything he is in! Clash of the Titans was on HBO last week so we set the DVR for it, I liked it, I can't believe it took me so long to see it though. Black Death was not the best movie but it has Sean Bean in it and we watched it just after this weeks episode of Game of Thrones. Speaking of Game of Thrones, Sunday is the finale and then the next week True Blood starts!!! I can't wait, it's been a LONG year waiting for this season. They are promising that Sookie and Eric fans will not be disappointed with episode 3 or 4, I can't remember which one, but they better live up to the book is all I have to say about that!
I have to make a list so I don't forget anything at Walmart and I won't have to delay work another day because I don't have everything I need! I am going to my sisters tomorrow so all the kids can have a day to play be away from the house for a bit. I am going to take my camera so I can take some pictures that aren't related to sewing!
Have a wonderful day!!
