I'm late. As usual. I just going to include photos that highlight our trip. We were there from Friday morning to Tuesday evening.  We had a really fun time saw fun stuff and had a blast hanging out. 




Saturday we went to the zoo where the most entertaining were the California Sea Lions.  They were barking at the guests and kept pushing each other off the rocks.  

 I had no idea central park was SO BIG.  We found a big giant rock that the boys insisted on climbing. As you can see here darling husband was so excited to climb to the top and have his picture taken.   

 We went to F.A.O. Schwarz to look at toys and they had this HUGE kaleidoscopic that you could stand in. That's the top of it. It was really cool. We also saw Spiderman and Captain America. 

They also had a make your own Muppet workshop. Sadly I wasn't able to afford a new Muppet. 

This is my brother and his new fiance Katelyn. They got engaged the first night we were in NYC.  We went out to a really nice place one night and had the best steak. 

This is darling husband and I that same night.

We went to the American Museum of Natural History which was so much fun.  Especially the dinosaurs. Shark loving Curtis was so excited to see this shark jaw he made me take his picture with it. 

Also, while we were there I did pick up a FQ bundle from Purl Soho.  CUTE! I have no idea what I'm going to do with it but I added them to the stash. 


Tomorrow promises sewing time!

Home again

I am home from NYC. We had a blast and took a ton of pictures (Which I will post either tomorrow or Friday). But for now I just have to make it know that I'm joining a QAL. Wish me luck!

P.S. It's hosted by Allegory

Major

HOLY DUCKS GUYS! I TOTALLY WROTE A 130 QUESTION EXAM TODAY!

I'm excited about that. Major accomplishments especially with googley eyes from dilation drops. I have a slight allergic reaction from them and have an even stronger allergic reaction to reversal drops. Imagine three days of dilated eyeballs, yeah.... I'll take the one day of revoked driving.

So in addition to being super productive in the paying job side of things I was also productive in the quilting side of things. My gift baby quilt is currently in the dryer and once it's done I will mail it off to the baby who will cuddle it. I will post pictures once Momma has received it.

Aside from that I should mention that Felicia Day mentioned Fallen London on The Flog (you must watch) and I played it all day.  That is not an exaggeration.  I literally had to drag myself away so I could buy groceries so Hubby wouldn't starve.

I also knitted on the birthday surprise for a bit. Thank goodness Allegory is a fellow crafter and understands that sometimes birthday gifts are late.  Ahh the life of a crafter!

Slowing to a Crawl

Seems that I can't get enough done lately.  Hopefully once I've gotten through finals I'll be able to focus more. 

Progress is being made

Slow though it may be.  Like I said, finals man. They're killing me and my free time.  

We have new living room furniture which has given us a much larger couch and a HUGE chair that I am plotting to use for my hand sewing, sketching, knitting, cross stitch, and other relaxing crafting stuff. I have to share it though with the crazy little obsessive kitty. As soon as I sit down in it she sits behind me all stalker like. I'm pretty sure she thinks this is now her chair.


More crafting will take place soon..... I hope.....
