Making a pillow

So, for my boyfriend’s belated one year anniversary present, I decided to make him a pillow.
I went down to Joanne’s, picked out a yard of fabric that I wanted to use (you only need about half a yard…depends on how big your pillow will be), bought pillow stuffing, and thread (because I wanted the thread to match).

Here are some pictures!

Then, after sewing the edges, I decided that i wanted to embroider Peter’s name and our anniversary date on the pillow. To do this, I wrote his name on a piece of paper and while using a embroidery circle, I directly sewed the paper onto the cloth. The paper serves as a guideline. Be careful, I poked myself many times.

Here are the letter’s “ter” in peter. After sewing all the letters on, rip off the paper. During this process, some of the thread will be ripped off along with the paper. Don’t worry. Just fill it in by hand sewing it. There should be “needle holes” that can semi-serve as guidelines.

Stuff the pillow.
And here’s my finished product:

In celebration of my 3 straight A’s and one A-, my mother bought me this from American Eagle: $130

Anyways, Peter and I went to watch Yes, Man today It was a good movie; I really think it was worth it. Peter and I went to the glendora amc (new opening) and we got free popcorn and a drink and a free ticket (yes..moviewatcher discounts). Anyways, they had a wing stop and a golden spoon right next to the amc and peter and I bought chicken and a quart of frozen yogurt! yum Goldenspoon has really good new york style cheesecake frozen yogurt and tart mango. haha. I love eating cold icecream/frozen yogurt in the cold! It’s fun This is the second time (we went to coldstones the other day when it was raining). Today was fun. I love going to pretty shopping centers with peter!

Happy one year and three months to us! (dec. 19th)

Pet Peeves

My pet peeves:

-when I have to baby sit my brother and miss out on fun because no one can take care of leo. (this has happened so many times)
-buying christmas presents is sometimes very irritating.
-drivers who don’t turn on their signal lights!
-drivers who turn on their high beams.
-drivers who aren’t nice/polite at all…when you signal that you need to change lanes, they don’t care about you; instead, they speed up so you can’t change lanes!
