Feeling Crafty
Today was the Superbowl, but my mom and I have never been very interested in football, so we decided to go craft shopping instead!
I have been wanting to try quilting for the past few weeks, so I was looking for different fabric options today. My mom has been wanting to start a new cross-stitch project, so she was looking for patterns. Although she didn't find any patterns she liked, I found some fabric!
Since I've never made a quilt (or anything close to it) before, I'm going to start out small by making a pillow. If I like it, then I might tackle a full quilt later on.
I'll be making a quilt square from ohfransson.com (where my cousins and aunt got their pattern from as well) as the pillow front. Since it won't take a lot of fabric, I just got a quilter's bundle with 5 different patterns.
I'll need to go back later to get the backing and pillow form, but I was excited to at least have something to start with this week!
I'll keep you updated on my pillow's progress as I begin to work on it. I'm really excited about it, so I hope it turns out well!
P.S. I also found this super cute cross-stitch pattern of an African woman with her child, and I fell in love with it. Even though I tried, I just couldn't pass it up! I'll be making it eventually to add to my African art collection.

Bethany Johnson, RN
I took the dreaded NCLEX last Friday, January 28.
It was awful.
I felt like I didn't know the answers to any of the questions, except for one.
I finished in 75 questions, which is the minimum. (I was so relieved that I didn't have to take all 265!)
I was the first one done in the room, which made me sure that I had rushed through the questions too quickly and failed.
But no matter how horrible I felt, I couldn't stop smiling once I left the testing center because it was all over with!
Four days later my name was listed on the Board of Registered Nursing website with an RN license number next to it.
That means that I passed the NCLEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And today, this came in the mail:
I am officially a Registered Nurse!!!!!
