She has a new dress

Just over 4 years ago, I made my ironing board a new cover.  I have been looking at it recently and a new cover was needed.  The area where I do most of my pressing on the board was discolored and crusty with starch.

I stopped at Hobby Lobby on my way home on Wednesday and spotted some very pretty fabric that I felt would work just fine as a new dress for my ironing board.

The gray and yellow I find striking together.  I'm going back on Monday to get more yardage for some pillowcases.  This girl can't have too many fun pillowcases for her bed.

I've been thinking hard about reorganizing my sewing space.  It's out of control.  I went to my local sewing center where I purchased my Koala cabinet and ordered the additional shelving for it.  I spotted the most AWESOMEST new machine that was begging to come home with me.  The owner gave me the trade-in value for my current machine plus all kinds of extras but... the price tag was, well.... kind of insane.  I came home without a new machine.  It's still on my mind but I'm holding strong.  MAYbe next year I'll cave but right now I'm good.

Back to reorganizing - with my new shelves coming for my cabinet in the next week, I'm going to slowly start getting my space back in order.  I would take a picture of it but it's horrible.  I can't bare to show it off.

Punkie had her first Spirit Day for school yesterday.  Crazy hat/crazy hair - one of our favorite Spirit days.  This year she wanted a punked out pony tail on the top of her head.

Next year we're going to add some hair color.  Lots of kids had fun colors in their hair this year but nobody teased it like I did.  :)  In my humble opinion, we rocked it again this year!

Enjoy your day!
