This bedroom looks so inviting. I feel all cheery and healthy? just looking at it.

I believe you could really turn your life around if you lived in a place like this. You would wake up early, go for morning jogs, wear white cotton clothes on your sunkissed skin and eat museli for breakfast.

Sewing Part 2

Last night I decided instead of watching crap TV I would make something on my new sewing machine. Well I did a quick search on the web and found a tutorial on how to make a half arpon. And the result ….

I love it! and I know exactly who I am going to give it to.
