So it's been a couple of weeks, but so much has happened. I have so many purse orders but i can't seem to find the time to do them..im going to have to buckle down and get some stuff done. I am also going to try making some new things. A friend is moving into a new apt and she is wanting to make it unique and funky.....therefore i've offered up a lending hand to help make a one of a kind duvet for her room and some curtains to match and who knows what else...it's gonna be cute when we are done:) im pretty excited for it. I want to try this amy butler duvet pattern

but im thinking we are gonna stick with one print only and I think for those purposes i'm just going to do something really simple....find measurements....sew together....insert buttons ( i don't do zippers) and voila...maybe there is more to it then this...and if you're reading this and have any tips please let me know...it's def a first for me!

I haven't really done anything blogworthy lately. Well, as far as sewing goes. I did however purchase a crock pot that I am probably WAY WAY WAY to excited about. I don't cook. I have never really enjoyed cooking until lately...but I figure I need to start eating out less. I can't stand the thought of such a large chunk of my paycheck going to food..so I set out on a goal to A.) be healthier B.) cook at home more C.) DON'T EAT OUT!!!!!!!! So day one of that began yesterday and I'm quite excited about it! I was looking up recipes that were healthy and several were to be done in the crock pot...and since I had a gift card from graduation to wal-mart, I figured it was logical:) So last night C and I stayed home for a scary movie night and we decided to make Fruit Cobbler with the my new purchase...i have NEVER made cobbler in my life ...i don't even really like it...AND i didn't know that it was possible to use the crock pot for such (see i told you..im no cook) but I found a recipe and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The worst part of the crock pot is having to smell the yuminess but having to wait so long to eat it.

here is the recipe

Crock pot Fruit Cobbler:

Cook a can of biscuits according to package directions, then tear them into pieces.

Melt 4 TB of butter

Mix 1/2 C brown sugar, 1/4 C of sugar(i just realized this said 1/4..i used 1/2 C...oopps), and a dash of Cinnamon into the butter

Pour 1/2 can of the fruit pie filling into the crock pot

Put 1/2 biscuits over the fruit

Put 1/2 the butter mixture over the fruit

Repeat the layers

Cook on high for 2-3 hours or until bubbling

Enjoy:)

super easy and super yummy!!!! I just put dinner in the crock pot for tonight (see im already doing better...eating at home:)) If it turns out well I will post that recipe as well!

In other news...I started Grad School last week....it has only been a week and I already dislike it greatly. Ugh, school has always been easy for me, always been FOR ME, I think im ready for a break. This will def be a day by day thing. If nothing else...finish the semester out and figure out a new game plan...im def not a quitter though..so I will give it a few months. Maybe it is a good thing I put Law School on hold. But for the moment school is 100% paid for because of working for the university...and...you can't get much better than that. I have a degree already...so that is what is important at this point!

I also got a part time job teaching. Part time ...how does that work? I will be teaching ESL students or those with basic troubles with literacy! I went on the interview last Tuesday and they called me within 2 hours to offer me the job...im so very excited about it! It will be a great experience I'm sure.

Have a great week everyone:)(or all two of you that read this)
