Use it or Delete it....

That was the ultimatum given to me by one nameless sister in law. After many threats of this useless blog I guess I will update! I joke with Josh that the only reason I have a blog or facebook is to enter all the giveaways. If I won any of them than maybe it would be worth it, lol!

I haven't blogged since November and now its May (in case you weren't aware). Pay attention for the next few lines of the Woolstenhulme November to May run down (in no particular order. Thanksgiving, Sis in Law wedding, Christmas, Lots of Christmas, first teeth, first steps, new nephews and new nieces to be, baby blessing, new (local) job (for Josh), they canned my horrid boss (yay), Amelia turns 1, trips to Idaho, anniversary get away, new apartment, birthdays, birthdays, birthdays, Elise demands a raise (and GETS it :D), decorating new apartment, diets, failed diets, gardens, school, true health eating reform, Amelia walks, talks, and is the greatest joy of it all.

Now I am sure I could fill in a whole lot more details on the last 7 months but really it all boils down to that. We have been so grateful to having things fall in place the last couple months. I think after 3 years of marriage I have FINALLY learned how to budget. We are paying off huge chunks of debts and we are potentially saving to buy a house. I want to have a pretty sizeable down payment! It always blows my mind why I couldn't figure this out sooner but than I realize I am only 22 and most 22 year olds still live off their parents. Don't get me wrong we HAVE lived off our parents at some points, lol, but well now that I have got it all together (somewhat) I can just say we are moving on up from here.

I am a big blog reader and like to read all the sewing projects, especially from bloggers who transform their current wardrobe into a whole new one. Well Saturday I took my first stab at it. Now I am a pretty adapt seamstress thanks to my Mom and Stepmom, yet thats going off patterns and fabric from a bolt. Re-working already made clothes was not something I have done before. But I did take a light linen shirt that had a stain on it and cover it up with ruffles. Once it gets washed from the most recent wear I will post pictures. Are there any good blogs you follow with super easy money saving, sewing, cooking tips?
