Happy Rabbit Day!

Hope everyone has a fantastic spring Sunday, no matter what you celebrate!

Spring

Spring Break

I was on Spring Break all this week. It was probably the most unspectacular Spring Break of my academic career. Not only did I not do anything fun, I also got virtually no work done. I honestly don't know what I did, except clean my apartment, run errands, sleep A LOT, and spent several fruitless hours searching for a dress for my opening.

I finally gave myself permission to not do anything thesis related for a couple days, and took off to Goose Creek State Park yesterday afternoon. It was a much needed trip out of town, but forcibly reminded me how much I'm going to miss North Carolina. I don't know where I'm headed after graduation, but I'm looking all over, and staying here seems unlikely. I just hope I like the next place as much as I like it here.

Sunday Sewing

It's spring and I've been the mood to spiff up my apartment. Last weekend I did some much needed spring cleaning, although looking at things now, you probably can't tell. (Seriously, how do my floors get so dirty in a week?) I'd like to do some redecorating, but making my apartment exactly how I want it isn't really an option, since I can't afford replace all my furniture. But I've been thinking about what kinds of things I could make to brighten up the place, specifically things I could sew.

I decided to start with the throw pillows, and made this over-sized pillowcase today. Again, it's maybe not exactly what I wanted, but I'm trying to stick to my novice sewing skills. I'm going to try to get another one of these done today, and then maybe something for the smaller pillows. I'd also like to make a bright patchwork throw to cover most of my couch, since it's dark, and I'm kind of tired of looking at it. But I might have to wait until summer to tackle that. I might rearrange my furniture, too.

Flickr Fav

I love Flickr's Explore feature and I love to favorite photos I really like. I was browsing through said favorites and decided it might be nice to periodically post one. I'd also like to do this because sometimes I forget about all the great photos stashed in my favs. So here's the first one by shiningegg.

Rabbit Day!!!

Happy Easter Everyone! Hope you have a fantastic day and a wonderful spring!
