Long Overdue

This was supposed to be a birthday present for my mom…then March came & went, as did April.  So then I was going to divert it as a Mother’s Day present.  But seeing as how she’s going to get it right before Father’s Day, it’s officially become a “Just Because” present.

New Project??

For some reason, this project just really makes me giggle.
Mostly because this is what happens when we shave Sylvester to keep him cool in the summer:

Guessing I could get a few bracelets our of that chaos!

The Case of the Disappearing Thread

I discovered that some thread I bought for the giveaway hobo bag disappeared yesterday.
After a fairly quick search around the apartment, I found it under the couch.
Wonder which one was the culprit?

My money is on Radar (on the left)…  He’s Chief Mischief-Maker in our household…great example was blogged here!
(Netter, just had to share the pudge with [...]

Somebody has a case of the Mondays…

…and the Tuesdays and maybe the Wednesdays too!  And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you are missing out – go watch Office Space!

Our external auditors are doing fieldwork for 3 weeks, and they’re already starting to wipe me out!  It’s funny how things change so quickly – I was in their shoes this [...]

Sometimes

Sometimes I surprise myself, like the other day, and get stuff done that I hadn’t planned on finishing.  Then there was last night, where my overly ambitious self got sidetracked by a lovey-dovey cat.  I was getting Steve’s wallhanging ready for quilting.  Since I hate binding, I decided it wasn’t really necessary in this instance, and [...]

New cat bed?

Seriously, that cat is a minx… This is the photo Steve emailed me this morning – he must have been checking on the cats before he left, and found Radar utilizing the bottom piece of my sewing machine case as his own personal cat bed. And look how innocent that cat pretends to [...]

Mental Note to Myself…

This is not how magnetic snaps are supposed to look:

Rather, this is how the snap should look:

The washer goes against the wrong side of the fabric…duh!

I made another fabric basket for a Christmas gift for one of my grandmas…I ran out of steam to make the 3 baskets on my list, and only ended up [...]

My Christmas Gift!

So, this summer, my good ‘ol Canon PowerShot S500 starting turning some pictures pink:

Which was really sad…the Elph was my first digital camera…Steve bought it for me in the fall of 2004 (yeah, maybe a little slow to hop on the digital camera bandwagon). And it has taken some real gems, including this (which is [...]

Happy Thanksgiving to Us!

This is what we found when we got home this morning from the Turkey Trot. I rounded the corner to the kitchen, and stopped in my tracks when I saw this:

The culprit:

There was baker’s sugar all over the floor, he poked holes in the carton, and then seems to have played in the sugar. [...]

Being good…

I almost cheated today for lunch, but got Low-cal lemonade instead.
So I will reward myself with posting a cute kitties photo:Such chubbies!
