I finished my management final this past week and I got an A!!
hoorah! unfortunatly that A cost me quite a bit of my summer, so I'm taking my summer back as of today!! In fact I've already started up work again on a skirt and coming up with some fresh designs and ideas for a future collection♥
Yesterday I was peeking through my fabric stash and I realized I have a lot.. and I mean A LOT of fabric! jaja I need to really get on the ball and start sewing! it's kinda funny even though I have alot of fabric I still cant get over the fabric I recently bought last month. It's just been sitting pretty on my shelf and I'm just dying to make a skirt with it!I've even doodled a couple of designs here and there but nothing for sure just yet. The print is so lovely and I dont want to take too much away from it's natural beauty, so I'm leaning towards more of a simple design with some defined pleats and a little bit of tulle peaking out would defintly bring out the print.
for now I'm gonna head off and hit the hay! ;-D |

This past week has been super fun! I spent Tuesday afternoon at the beach, it was such perfect weather for collecting seashells, attempting sand castles, and splashing around. It was so fun and I just love South Padre Island and I can’t wait to go back again! 
I also got this adorable vintage linen which I am just wild about! Jeje Every time I go out shopping I come back with fabric!It’s actually a bit of a bad habit of mine but I just fell in love with the print I’ll admit usually I’m not that big of a fan of green fabrics but this print is just way too darling! dots x flowers x ribbons! How could I resist?

I'm baaaaaack and just in time for summer jeje
Hate to admit it but I haven’t been on for a while because of my heavy schedule.
It may sound weird but when it comes to my classes, I take them very seriously! jaja
I feel like such a nerd! Thankfully I passed Accounting! Though sadly not business calculus  it looks like I'll be making up hours during Summer II.
Anyways I'm so glad that summer is almost here!!
I promised myself that this summer I'd get back in shape~
It’s kind of embarrassing but I've gained so much weight this past year 
Hopefully I’ll be strong enough to change bad eating habits, and really start working out! I’d just love to be a size 5-6 again.
Aside from fitness, I’d like to dedicate myself to my designs and really get back into the sewing groove, more importantly I’d really like to get more involved and get a small spot at the next local Artwalk.
I can already imagine it: Lolita designs by VM ahhh so magical
Btw don’t forget about katherine’s campaign on poupeegirl! It’s still going!
Toodles~ |

I cant explain how nervous I've been since classes have started!
This semester I'm taking Business Calculus, Accounting, Advertising, and the second part of Geology.
Though I face each class with a "can do" attitude I cant help but feel nervous!! I know this will be a tough semester without a doubt~
I'll admit math has never really been my strong point and even though I feel like a complete wreck I really really really want to do well this semester!!
wish me luck this semester I'll need every bit of support♪! |

Although this past christmas was quite the penny pincher it was very special!
My father gave my sister and I the sweetest gifts, and our relatives were so thoughtful.
I was really touched 
With money so tight this year we felt so awful we really couldnt afford gifts, so instead we sent delightful homemade rasberry filled cookies! They were shaped like stars, hearts, snowmen, and christmas trees~ so cute and festive!
They were quite a success! of course I do feel bad, my sister was the one who put all her love making them. Honestly I've never been good at cooking, muchless baking!
I mostly watched her make them, and definitely helped in eating the leftover cookies!
I'll definitley have to contribute more next christmas~
 
Anyways!! Tommorow is New Years Eve and I'm more than excited to be celebrating the start of a new year in Downtown McAllen! this will be Mcallen's very first Annual "Drop the Ball New Year’s Eve Bash" which is completely open to the public! I just cant wait for tommorow!!!
but I've still got a load of work ahead  like right now I'm working on resizing a waistband to finish up a skirt, and then I'd like to start up on another matching vest.
I'm also working on making a pair of shorts! unfortuneatly the draft I started up was a bit small~ so I'm adjusting the pattern. I really really really would love to get the shorts done before my vacation comes to an end but only time will tell♪ |

I hope everyone is having a wonderful time with their families and friends!
I'm happy to say my christmas has been absolutely wonderful!
I was able to spend time with my family relaxing, watching movies, baking cookies, and eating alot of tamales and menudo.
Although this christmas was much smaller than the past years I stll feel extremely fortunate to be able to spend it with the people I love and care for the most.
Now for aspecial holday reccomendation I'd like to share with you a book I had bought sometime back, it's a small christmas themed poem from the creators of GloomCookie called, A Monster's Christmas.
has anyone read it before?
it's a dark little holiday story about a monster who's always on the naughty list.
This is in no way a story for children! but I enjoyed it so much! and I think others would enjoy it's dark humor, and it's definitly a must read poem for the holiday!
Well that's all for now~ happy holidays everyone!! |
