Spendy weekend... I need to keep myself out of craft stores...

February 7th, 2011 at 01:59 pm

As the title may have indicated, I spent a bit much at craft stores this weekend... After taking a sewing class a few weeks ago, I realized that I was severely under-equipped to do the kinds of projects I really want to do in a semi-professional manner. That's changed. In my defense, having a clothes-iron is probably a good idea regardless, and the table-top ironing board wasn't too expensive. I also got much of the stuff I bought from Joann Fabrics 50% off-- including a rotary cutter and mat.

The other great thing is that if I spend all this money on sewing stuff, I'll actually keep up with the hobby. I'm good with it. Once I have the basic supplies, all I'll have to purchase in the future really is fabric and notions. And I have PLENTY of projects to keep me busy for a while.

The weekend outside of this spending wasn't *too* bad. We entertained a couple Friday night, which was incredibly fun. I did drop a bit of money on some fancier foods for the night: cheese, olives, berries, and a couple bottles of wine. I made banana and sweet peppers stuffed with couscous, sausage, garlic, zucchini, and spinach. It was fantastic and we had tons of leftovers. We spent the rest of the night playing Apples to Apples and drinking up all that wine... I felt a bit sick Saturday morning.

Saturday night I did some shopping with a friend- at Joann, and I spent a little too much money on home and scrapbooking stuff. No regrets, though, so it should be okay. I'm not going to beat myself up over the purchases, but rather make sure to curb the spending this week. We have plenty to keep us busy now... The rest of Saturday night was spent with my girlfriend watching movies. Terribly successful.

As for the Superbowl, I spent the time reading Twitter feed about the commercials during the game, and watched the commercials when they were on. It was terribly entertaining, and far better than watching football. I hate football.

Today is Monday, and a busy one at that. Lots of homework to do. Working out this evening with my friend, then going to class. It's going to be a busy week, but things are going well, so no complaints here!

Hope you all have a great Monday Smile
