my next adventure...................applique! stay tuned for results.

my thoughts on Wuthering Heights

So my bff and I decided to start a two person book club together, where we hold meetings via text. lol So we decided we would be a little adventurous and start off with Wuthering Heights. Now with Christmas we haven't been able to keep up with reading like we hoped (we are only on ch.3 hehe) but after the hustle and bustle we should be able to  pick up the pace.
So I thought maybe I would keep my thoughts on the book on here as I read.


The only thought I have on Wuthering Heights right now is:
Why are the heathcliffs so rude, negative and mean. I assume if I keep reading I will soon find out.


--So if anyone wants to join us feel free to start reading and luckily there isn't too much reading to catch up on.--

Dear House, 
 I am sorry I have been neglecting you so. I have been so busy with Christmas. I will be back in January. 
Love, April

My Project for Today

I thought this pattern was so cute. I wasn't crazy about the fabric at first but it ended up turning out pretty cute and now I love the fabric. 

I got this tutorial from a blog called oh, fransson and here is the direct link to the tutorial.

and I thought I would throw in a cute new pic of the kids. I captured it as they were actually getting along

The Latest

So here is what I have been up to lately:

We decorated for Christmas. I still can't believe it's Christmas time.

I made these cute pillows for our bed. Don't mind the mustard wall. Thats gonna change.

and the bed skirt ended up turning out pretty good. It was so easy! I will post the tutorial.

and I have found my new obsession of making bags. It's so fun!
