update (and a few projects)

Oh, it's Friday. Glorious Friday. 
Currently I'm working on an EB plan in the worst neighborhood in Jackson it seems. Only a block away you can find two strip clubs and an adult bookstore. And Skylar Laine's parent's grocery store? What the heck... Anyway, I'm so ready for this week to be over.
School started this week, and only one night was just miserable. Accounting Theory is going to blow my mind all semester I can already tell, and now I'm very thankful I have two days off a week to study and prepare. On the plus side though, I randomly received an email the other day stating I have been awarded an MBA scholarship through Mississippi College (you know, that place that doesn't give graduate students scholarships). Praise the sweet Lord that I was awarded this, and can use it next semester for when I'm paying my own tuition. 
But this is totally not the point of the post. The point is that the second bedroom in our apartment is was ugly. There's no way really around that. And of course, I hated it. Plain white walls, white papasan chair, and a black comforter. So I finally got around to doing something about it. I decided that my first task was to make a bed skirt. I found a tutorial on Pinterest (of course), and with a little help from Justin, had a brand new bed skirt in no time.

this is the middle of the process. i forgot to take a "Before" picture

Ta-Da

I LOVE it. There's no way around it. Every time I see it, it makes me happy (and yes, that's a little weird because it's just a bed skirt in a bedroom where no one goes). Anyway. I got the duvet cover from West Elm and just ordered the shams today. Wish I had a picture to show you of what it looks like now. Tuesday, I make felt flowers and finally hung my yarn wreath over the bed as well as put brown curtains instead of the black and white ones in there. Oh well. Maybe I'll remember later.
I even had left over fabric to cover our bar stools!

I was very please, even if my corners weren't perfect. Cute fabrics make me happy!
So I'm off to do a little work. Hope you're doing something around your house that makes you happy! I'll be back soon with what we had to eat Sunday night. Just imagine one pot, easy ingredients, and minimum clean up :)
TGIF!
