great destinations

i decided to extend the deadline for entires into the awesome custom crocheted hat giveaway until sunday. SO MAKE SURE TO ENTER!!!

i extended it because i wanted to do a real drawing with slips of paper and let judah pick out the winner on camera, and i won't be able to do that until sunday because layla and i are leaving to go out of town in about an hour and will be gone all weekend.

we are going to tennessee.

to stay with a friend.

who happens to have a little blog of her own.

called "finding my feet."

cue my squeals of beiber-fever proportions. dogs 3 counties over can hear me.

if you can't understand why this is so epic to me read here.

...and now that you know how i feel, you are probably wondering what on earth raechel is doing telling me where she lives, much less inviting me inside. i don't know either. i assume a lapse in judgement or an excess of alcohol was involved, but i am not even pausing to let her reconsider.

that's right, my bloggy buddy and often-muse invited me up to her house for a weekend of HSD (hardcore sewing delight). my reaction was like those ladies in oprah's audience when she went all "YOU GET CAR! YOU GET A CAR! YOU GET A CAR!" jumping up and down and scratching my own eyeballs out in hysterical glee and disbelief.

keep it together, keight.

this is the first time i have taken my sewing on the road. i can't wait to show off everything that we make this weekend. and just in case you never hear anything about it again, just go ahead and assume i blew it somehow and that a restraining order is finally involved. jokes. but i am super nervous because it feels like we should really, really get along just from the emails and everything, so all that's left is to blow it by taking this into real life!

like meeting my eHarmony match for the first time.

i am a flutterbomb of nerves and excitement! here we go!!!!

this video accurately portrays how i feel about today. luckily, i'm the only driver so i don't have the dilemma of "which seat can i take?"

me and raechel: we we we so excited. we so excited. we gonna have a ball today
