Hola!

So yesterday was a good day, got to babysit again... and man, do I love kids! Well, ok I say that now that I can give them back after a couple of hours, ha! I really don't know how moms do it, kudos to all of them! I know I want to have kids, but not quite yet, still I looove hanging out with kids!
So the rest of the day was pretty ordinary, except, wait! I got notice that my job permit arrived at school, woo! I have been waiting for this since Feb 1st... Gotta love immigration, ugh! But I am now at a place where I can get a real job and starting making, saving, and investing some money. I'm so looking forward to officially opening my business and being adventurous!
Then I got started on my creative thing of the day, the fiance arrived, and we headed to Lee Roy Selmon's to pick up our side for Neal's birthday cookout at their place. Got to hang out with some of the people I love the most. Seriously, this is family.
And then it was back home where we busted some dance moves with Kels, Ryan, Juan and myself. That game is addicting, and every time I play it its so on the spot, which makes it more fun, because I'm working out, but actually enjoying it. And that, is the best kind of work out for moi!

Creativity TodaySo cooking is an every day kind of thing, especially when it comes to my mom. And she is the best cook I know, her food = comfort to me. I l-o-v-e it! But ever since she came, we've been talking about getting an apron, and we always, always, forget to get one when we're at the store. Its so silly, we need to take some ginko and see if our memory improves.
Well, anyways, the other day I was thinking about it, and I decided to make an apron for her. Now for most of my projects I would rather spend $0 dollars, since right now I can't afford anything really, and besides, it pushes me to be more creative. So recently I had gone through my closet and I remembered that there were a couple of tops that were hand-me-downs that I thought were super cute but never fit right, but I still kept them. And voila! There's my fabric. So I have no sewing machine, but I can do some basic sewing by hand! Here is my project!

So here are the two tops that I started off with

I cute them both right under the bust line, ironed both of them, attached the white one under the gray one (to both add length and a different texture) with just needle and white thread, and then also made the gray sash be permanently attached in the lower portion. I then used the left over material to make a flower, and a little pocket. And that's it!

Here is the finished product!

And here are the details!

So in all, the project probably took me about two hours! But it was fun, different (I have never, ever, done anything like this before), and I cannot wait to give it to my mom when I see her next week!!

Anywho, that's it for today!
