Merry Christmas to ME

So I got 2 early Christmas gifts. Want to know what they are? As if you can't already see the pictures....

An iphone! Welcome to the current century, Cheyenne. I've never, ever had a cool phone. So when my circa 2005 lime green LG phone decided that it just wasn't necessary to hold a charge anymore, or that it was perfectly fine to turn itself off randomly in the middle of a phone call... it was time for a change. And, let's be honest, if I'm going to get a new phone then why not get hooked up good? And I did. After being excessively annoying adamant about going in to the AT&T store, I finally got a white iphone! And, not to be lame, but seriously it's amazing. Like, how did I live this long without a phone that had picture mail? Or internet? or a GPS? (not.even. picture mail. That's how old school my phone was, people)
Anyway, long story short. It's glorious.


Are you dying to know my second early Christmas gift? I bet you are. 


I finally got a sewing machine! Just call me Suzie Homemaker. My dear, sweet mother of mine was probably slightly ashamed that she (as an incredible sewer/quilter) had a daughter who knew nothing of sewing. So, after a few lessons she bought me my very own Bernina sewing machine! We spent the weekend of Thanksgiving spending way too much time and money at the fabric store just "ooh-ing" and "ahh-ing" at all the amazing fabrics and, of course, we bought a TON of various fabrics for my first sewing project! My mom helped me make the single cutest pillow cases (pictures to come) and I realized how much I really love sewing. My mom is ridiculously talented with sewing and quilting so hopefully now I can finally follow in her footsteps. (ps just a side note, if anyone needs a quilt machine-quilted, she's the lady to call. She does it as a small business from home but, seriously people, she's incredible)

Merry Christmas to MEEEEEEEE
Bring on the projects!

Beyond Excited for Christmas

How excited are you for Christmas?!
Here are some glorious Christmas photos that have gotten me ridiculously excited for Christmas. I'm going to finish our apartment decorations this evening, then I'll share what it looks like :)





Nothing says "Christmas" like The Nutcracker for me, we've gone every year since I was 5. Hence the dream of being a ballerina.... and it has never stopped
