Weekend plus Today

This weekend I spent my whole Saturday with my Mom :). We got to spend some quality time with each other. My poor Toby, there is something wrong with his front left leg. He started limping friday night and it got really bad on Saturday. He didn't even want to get up to eat or go to the bathroom. :( He's 11 years old now so its not like he can just run it off. :( 

Later I grilled some burgers, hot dogs and corn. It was my first time grilling corn so they weren't perfect but they were not too shabby. 

Oh I almost forgot, my sister-in-law started wearing glue on nails. Yes I know it sounds crazy but they look really good!! So my mother-in-law and I decided to try it as well. I got some that had designs on them since I'm not much for plain. :P They lasted over a week then started popping off and breaking. I think they are really good especially for only 7 bucks. 

These are them run down from wearing them for so long but they were originally square tipped but they still look really good for wearing them for so long.

One of them split in the middle. lol

Sunday I went to CUTT (church under the tree), were on youtube if you want to see what its all about. I haven't been in over a year, due to being out in Cali. It was nice to get back into it, granted the people that I knew weren't there anymore so I looked like the new guy. It was funny because I was there when we started it and people were like this your first time here? lol I was like nope, just moved back. I missed my Pastor, he was so excited to see me. :) It was a good day.

Today is my Mom's birthday and my good friend Homeschool's birthday, so all of the family went out to the Cheesecake Factory. Ohh man it was delicious. I got tiramisu cheesecake! YUMM!! Here is my mom's plate :)

I really need to carry around my camera again so I can take quality picture rather than these phone pictures. I did my first project for my concept design and we had to choose a subject. I choose a bird and I wanted to do something with a flamingo and with sunglasses lol.  So here's the end project. :)

Fixed machines and new possibilites

As y'all all know, I was having issues with my needle and sewing machine. Well.. yesterday I took it with me to school so then on my way home I could stop by Joann's Fabrics to see if they could possibly help me with this tragedy. When I got there they were super crowded.. Sad day, so I went to Target to go get a tripod for my camera which was only $15 before tax. I needed to get the tripod because I needed to take pictures for my midterm project in digital illustration and didn't have anyone to help me with what I needed. So.. after I bought my new tripod that I was so anxious to mess with, I stopped back by Joann's Fabrics and they were still crowded. I headed towards our apartment because I needed to get other things done that were due today. I decided to stop by the little fabric store in the town over from mine to see if the owner would be able to help. I explained what had happened and that I was having a lot of trouble getting a new needle in. She got some pliers to get my needle out of the machine (lol it was really stuck) and then used one of my other new needles and just stuck it in there no problem. ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! I've spent hours upon hours trying to get a freaking needle in there and she does it in 3 gosh darn seconds!! I told her that I had been working awhile on it awhile and couldn't for the life of me get it in there how its suppose to needless smoothly. She was like well maybe you getting it jammed like that opened it up so I could just slip it right in lol. Needless to say, I am uber happy that it is now fixed, but also frustrated that it took so long for me to get nothing done on it and then her have no issues. But she probably is right because I know I wasn't going crazy, it wouldn't fit in there lol.

Here are some pictures that I took with my camera and my new tripod. :) Now just to get a remote.

 These first two are for my self portrait project for digital illustration. It will be nice, since I actually get to post about this one because it isn't on copyrighted stuff.

I feel a heck of a lot better now, thank goodness. I hate being nauseous, but I mean who likes it. I will be going over this outfit later :).
