needless to say i was not in the best of moods on friday and soo soo much on my mind and just feeling extremely anxious & nervous all day that when i got home friday to change into my big lebowski outfit i broke down and by the time i felt better it was too late to catch bart and go on the ride. this month i really took on so much, i worked both saturday & sunday on a trial job interview this weekend (which was one of the reasons i was so nervous) & what with sewing these bags & hats, leaving for NY this weekend, a craft fair on april 23rd , working my 9-5 job & trying to squeeze in some orders for owl earrings that 2 stores have been so patiently waiting for...that is a whole other frustration and story i will tell you later on in the week. i just was emotionally exhausted and a good cry helped.

in order to make the best of the weekend and in honor of the dude we went bowling and made some white russians when we got home....which if you haven't had this drink it is one of the best drinks EVER! the dude knows where it is at...but that is like just my opinion...man....not in the mood to snap some pictures i did however smile for this one...in memory if his dudeness i wore my navajo sweater :D
the rest of the weekend like i mentioned before i worked in the city and then came home and finished one of the bags! and it turned out so cute and i am really happy with my sewing skills! the pattern is really simple but i had a lot of trouble sewing with the batting as i have never used it before so my oh so AMAZING mister went to the sewing store while i was working on saturday and picked up this even feed foot which saved my life and the bag! i couldn't have finished it without this little guy. anyone who quilts knows this little guy is a must!
now onto the next bag! oh and thanks for letting me vent too :)
xo,

Oh bless you, I hope you're feeling better sweetie, sometimes things do just get too much (sounds like you've got a lot on right now), & you're right a good cry can help. Sending you much love & hugs, & all the best for the interview too, just try to think past it all.
ReplyDeletePleased you enjoyed the bowling, love the cardi!
And the bag is amazing! You really do rock! xox
I SO know what you're talking about. Our weekend went a bit pear shaped too due to our pup getting really sick + some work stress piling up. Then I had a little meltdown yesterday and threw a little old-fashioned tantrum to get it all out of my system. But oh boy it helped! :D So I agree with you darling, a good cry works wonders every once in a while! :) I hope this week will be better for you!

Haha. Bowling looks fun, and I love your sweater! I've never had a white russian. Will have to try. The dude is right about so many things...don't know why it never occurred to me he would be right about those too:) Cute bag also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! I know how it goes to be overwhelmed. Those bags look great, and thank goodness for White Russians and the Dude knows best!
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm right up the 101 in Sonoma County. SF is truly the best place ever.
I'd say it was just the long winter playing tricks on you but your in SF so if you don't like the weather wait a minute :) Your bag is adorable!!!
ReplyDeletewhite russians cure all :) Glad you are feeling better now. I want to learn how to make a quilt so I am gonna have to look into this even feed thingy, thanks for the heads up
ReplyDeleteim going to ny in 2 weekends! hopefully bowling helped you destress!
ReplyDeleteIt really was one of those weekends, wasn't it'? You aren't alone. ♥
ReplyDeleteI am so desperately in love with your Navajo sweater. Seriously, I saw it and I let out a little gasp. It's BEAUTIFUL.
I'm sorry your were down this weekend lovely lady! bowling would have cheered me up ^_^ you're bag looks great too. You should be very proud of your sewing skills, I love the fabric patterns you used too, so lovely!
ReplyDeletedeep breath, chin up! you can conquer the world.
Oh my! What a crazy time! Remember that things that don't get done, don't need to be done. That helps me a lot when I am overwhelmed. I just leave a few things on the back burner... Some call this procrastinating, I call this stress control.
ReplyDeleteI love the Big Lebowski! You know, when Austin and I eloped, his best friend married us. I got him ordained through the Church of Latter Day Dude, where it only costs $10 to be a priest! He married us with a white russian and a bathrobe in the park. It was perfect.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better. Drinking always helps me. And exercise.
xxxx
that bag is adorable!
ReplyDeleteso sorry your weekend started a bit off the rails - but at least you rescued it with bowling. :)
i absolutely love the fabric you used!!
ReplyDeletedo you have any tips for me on how/where to find such nice fabric??
i'm trying to get into sewing myself, have the machine and patterns ready... but i'm still looking for the fabric of my dreams :)
