Working on: trying to fix my sewing machines tension. Right as I was finishing up my tote bag, it just completely crapped out on me. I tried watching a YouTube video but it didn't help much. I think I'll just have to break out the manual and fiddle see if I can figure it out. If any of you know some tips, let me know!
Making: sugar cookies. I have been seeing so many cute cookie decorating ideas on Pinterest and I really want to start trying some out. For some reason, cookie decorating seems less intimidating than cake decorating. I have some pirate themed cookie cutters so I am going to make some for a friend's birthday next week. The best part is, I get to eat my mistakes!
Reading: The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roal Dahl. I love Roal Dahl's stories, and they've unintentionally turned into a theme this week. They are always crazy and weird and the illustrations go with his style so well. I had actually never read The Fantastic Mr. Fox as a kid; I first heard of the book from the Wes Anderson film. It was cute and I think they did a great job with the movie adaptation.
Loving: peppermint essential oil. Lately at work I've been getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. I don't know what it is, but they love my blood. I just put a drop of peppermint on each of my bites and it really helps with the itchiness.
Excited About: Going to the farmer's market this weekend. Our town has a farmer's market on Sunday mornings and it's recently started up for the summer. I love trying all of the samples of food. It's my favorite part!
