Our friends Trevor and Keesa told us about this AMAZING book warehouse here in Logan. I LOVE it!! I've only been a few times, but reap my rewards:
I'm a huge fan of children's books and my collection is pretty weak. I found out about this book warehouse and jumped at the chance to increase my small stack of children's books. This huge stack of book cost me $10!!!! I'm not messing with you! Everything in the entire warehouse is $1 a piece unless you want to shove as many as you can into a plastic grocery bag, which in that case the entire bag totals $7. What a steal :). And I've been fortunate enough to go with a couple of pretty good bag stuffers! You know who you are. Anyway, there are books of all kinds at Jensen's warehouse just waiting to be shoved into a bag, so if you want to go and need someone to go with, give me a call :).
KEN: a friend I never really thought I'd be that close to, yet, we've found each other these last couple of months and our time together has been a learning experience and quite productive.
This Kenmore sewing machine belongs to my mother-in-law Denise, she leant it to me a few months back and I used it here and there, but for some reason I've been finding myself sewing up a storm the last couple of weeks. This sturdy hunk of metal has done wonders.
This is one of the random projects I've made for a few friends and family that have been having babies. It's simple and inexpensive! If you have a few squares of fabric lying around just make a burp cloth :). This is only one of the ones I made, but I thought they turned out pretty cute...even if I can't sew very straight, babies arejust going to spit up on them anyway right ;).
A few of my projects I can't blog about because they're gifts, and I don't want to chance the recipients seeing them :). This next picture is just a sneak peek at a project I've been working on that is turning out quite adorable! Even Coup told me it was very cute.
This picture looks like it was taken in the 70's, but I promise it's me and I promise it was taken last week.
PUZZLED?
Me too.
Coup and I decided to be puzzlers. We thought it would be a fun thing to occupy our time while the weather is still deciding if it wants to warm up or not, and it's an inexpensive activity to do together with spare time...
We expected it would take us a few weeks, but we successfully finished this puzzle 3 days (probably 8 0r 9 hours) later...hmm, don't know what to think of that. It was a lot of fun though. And we chose an awesome first puzzle!
Dad thought an overhead view would be cool :).
My favorite part about doing this puzzle was watching Couper. I never realized how much you can learn about each other doing a puzzle. (luckily it was a good thing in our case)
(Coup's going to kill me for this next little bit)As you can see, the picture above shows that all we need is to enter the last piece and booyah. However, I got an urgent text from Couper while in class one day that read something like this: "Crap! The puzzle is complete but one piece, and it's the wrong one!" I was a little frustrated that we had purchased a faulty puzzle but we had actually had a few other instances where we had put pieces in the wrong places because they looked so much alike so I assured him it was the same kind of situation. He was positive it was faulty and guarenteed I wouldn't be able to find what went wrong. When I got home from class I went straight to the puzzle, glanced around for a few seconds, and found the mistake, it was legitimate, but I laughed for a good 10 minutes. Love you Couper! :)...( click to enlarge pic) can you see what piece is placed incorrectly?
