I love my music room. I know it doesn't look like much (that is, if you've been to my house and seen it)... but it means the world to me. Besides the fact that I love music, I love that Tony said to me the first day we met:
"when we get married, we'll have a music room and make music together."
Oh. em. gee. *melts*
And lookie, we have one.
I'm also thinking,
I rock a needle and thread. Read why...
for approximately 5 hours yesterday I worked on assembling this years Halloween costume (this is a first for me). Usually, I'll head to the nearest Wal-mart or wear last years costume. Really now. This is a whole new domestic side of me... and if I do say so myself, I did a smashing job!
The best part about it?? I sewed it all by hand! I felt so.. project runway. Except they actually do have sewing machines. And mannequins. My sewing machine works great... I think. I don't exactly have a cord or a pedal for it. Hence, the sewing-it-by-hand bit. (no you may not see or know what I did... not yet, anyhow)
Lastly...
I have a pet peeve, I've decided. Yes. Singular. A pet peeve. Ok, that might not be true. But for one, receipts... *shudder*
QT, thank you for being a cute, reasonably sized receipt... not to mention environmentally savvy. All that paper savin'. Auto zone needs to get the memo that it's NOT ok to supply their customers with a book every time they make a purchase. I literally got one the length of my arm the other day when I bought one thing. Tell Target too- who will give you like 17 receipts with every purchase. Just saying. UGH... sooo annoying how friggin long and ridiculous receipts are these days! Ok, glad that's off my chest.
G'day.
Love, Connie

I hand sewed Jasper's ghost head last night. I think hand sewing is more fun in a way..you can just sit on the couch and watch a movie (or listen) while you do it. Plus I cant seem to get the machine to go a few inches without getting all tangled. Anyways...
Love the music room! I want my own kareoke room like my dad has.
as fair as receipts...ugh. i know. long receipts are a pain. i say cvs is the worst!
i can't wait to see your costume! :) :)
You poor thing sewing by hand. Not fun! I borrow my mom's machine or I totally would have let you use mine. Can't wait to see your costume! I've got to get sewing ours.
By the way your ring is to die for! I love it...
Ooooh receipts...or devil-ceipts as I like to call them. Srsly, no joke I got three seperate devil-ceipts at Target yesterday...out of control!
I completely agree with you about receipts. Except, I always get really tiny receipts at Target!
Tony

And I just want to know what you sewed by hand! Cuz that's awesome.
