I see Wonderful Things

Being very close to Balboa Park has a lot of perks, lots of gorgeous gardens and museums with amazing exhibits are definitely high on that list.
Upon hearing about the King Tut exhibit at the San Diego Natural History museum, I know I wanted to hit it up after the semester ended. So yesterday, I met up with Janey of Atomic Redhead, and her husband Patrick to take a little trip back in time to view one of the most famous discoveries of the past century.

Now, the exhibit was made up of very faithful restorations, which I was extremely impressed by. The amount of excruciating detail went into making every piece look exactly like the original is utterly astounding. It made me want to travel to Egypt to see the originals more and more.

After looking at more exhibits at the museum, we meandered about to get some photos for our blogs. Some of which resulted in some fun lady adventurer poses.

Lovely Janey amongst nature.

I had such a blast hanging with Janey. I'm grateful for overcoming my shyness and meeting her through blogging. It's always fun connecting with someone you have so much in common with, and having a chance to hang with them is always great!
I can't wait to hang with her again!

Have any of you gone to your local museums lately? What exhibits did you see?

Little sewing tip

Hello everyone!

I figured I'd share a little sewing tip I've learned when I started sewing on how to keep yourself organized with small projects. (And any project, really)

If you have a project you keep putting off and on, and you have all your pieces cut out, use a zip top bag!
Put all of your notions you need for it; thread, bobbin, needles, etc. Have the fabric in it, and if you're like me and tend to loose pattern pieces, the pattern itself would be nice to have inside.

And keep it close to your sewing machine!

If you have larger projects, they make 2 gallon size bags which can hold your bigger cuts of fabric, and even your fabric envelopes.

And there you go, One more step to being a more organized sewist! I'm going o put this into better practice in the coming new year.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Don't forget to enter my giveaway!
