The Beautiful Ones
I spent the weekend with so many beautiful people. Friday, I met a group of lovely crafters at Etsy's Craft Party. There were parties all over the US. I attended the one at Inkling Shoppe in Chicago.
The party included everything you would need to craft away: scissors, glue, fabric, trims, buttons, cupcakes, and wine!
I decided to bring the project that has been floating through my head. I wanted to cover my old Beaters and make them beautiful again. The party was 2 1/2 hours so I had loads of time to knock it out and wear them out the door. I made 1 shoe beautiful and got bored. (SN: This is why I have so many UFOs -- unfinished objects). Le Sigh.
I started a fascinator but became more interested in finishing my cup of pinot grigio and chatting with Natalie (Leader of BurdaStyle's Chicago Club).
Saturday, I spent the day with just one beautiful girl. She's a little cranky though. She has a tooth coming in. Yeah!!! for the tooth, boo-hiss for the discomfort. She also has some nasal congestion. I'm not sure it's a full blown cold though. Is it, mamas? Is it related to the tooth?
The best part of the day was when she knocked out in the new Boba. I had a sweet 45 minutes of peace. V needed it too. She hasn't been sleeping well.
Sunday, I went to The Make-Up Show. I won a ticket from the ChiTown Fashionista (wooohoooo!). SN: She's my favorite Chicago fashion Blogger. I love makeup and really wish I was a person who could do full face everyday and of course know what I was doing. I didn't leave with anything. I am now regretting that. A lot of the products were discounted too. The introvert in me got overwhelmed by all the gorgeous beauties clustered around every booth.
I ended the day at my sister's house with my beautiful family minus Miss V and Daddy V. They had a daddy/daughter day.

Saturday morning I got up early b/c some chairs I had reupholstered were delivered. I was not happy with the way they turned out so spent an hour arguing with upholstery place. Spent rest of day running errands in burbs.
Sunday had dinner with the fam and watched my 3 yr old nephew attempt to wash a car. Maybe we can arrange a marriage between him and V! :) Though, I'm sure she's already spoken for.
This weekend I was sick and lazy! Saturday all I did was read, nap, hit the dollar store, church. Sunday I lazed, napped, walked a bit, read a bit, and we watched Dresscue Me and a dumb movie (Country Strong) on demand.
Woo hoo!
Shaking this cold, and I'm not even teething!
@Baby Shopaholic I want a redo on the makeup show. I want new product. I looked and did not find freebies. Boo.
@Nilsa Gosh I was so excited about my day away. I needed a break real bad. I want to do swim lessons with V. She loves the water. I have to learn how to swim first though.
@Ellen Feel better. Sounds like a great weekend though. V has been spending time with other kids too so she may have picked something up from the outside. She's passed it on to E so now I have to deal with the dreaded Man Cold.
