Giddy Up

Happy Friday, Y'all!

Everybody wants to be a Chi Omega...

Last May when Andy and I were in Dallas for a Wedding, my friend and sorority sister, Kim, asked me if I could turn her old Chi-O shirts in to a T-Shirt Quilt. I had done it once for my own Chi-O shirts, but I'm certainly no expert. Well, 8 months later it is finally finished!! A big thank you to my mama, who got me a sewing machine for Christmas (so i could actually do the project). Here are a few pictures of the work in progress: And the final product:
Warning: Don't look too close, it certainly isn't perfect (which kills the little perfectionist in me). But it was fun to make (minus a few frustrating moments) and its "really-super" soft as my nephew, Trevor, would say. I hope you like it, Kim!!

What Am I Doing?

First of all, Welcome to our blog! Thanks for stopping by.

Secondly, let me confess that I'm not quite sure yet what I'm going to do with this thing. I do know that I spend quite a bit of time "blog-stalking"...you know, kinda like "facebook-stalking"... so I thought I might as well start one of my own.

What will I write about? I'm not sure. Today i'm obessed with my new sewing maching, so I'll probably write about my attempt to be a master seamstress for a while. I'm also quite a fan of baking, cooking, being a decorating wanna be, and also learning about new things (hence learning how to blog...html?what?). If nothing else, it will be fun to document our little lives and look back and laugh someday!

And, hey, if nothing else, maybe it will inspire me to be a little more interesting and to take more pictures!

So here's to a new year and a new blog!
