At 7:27 this morning we picked Gidgey up!!!

It's amazing how much we missed her

even though she was only gone for 23 1/2 hours!

The apartment was just way too calm and quiet without her!

Here she is taking a quick cat nap right after we got her home. Don't mind the camera phone picture!

One would think she would have been calm and sleepy all day today...Nope, not our gidgey! She's trying to climb her cat tree, play with the dog, play with her toys and run around the house.

Luckily, she's napping again.

We don't have to worry about stitches being ripped out at the moment.

At 7:52 this morning, we dropped Gidgey off to be spayed : (

Poor lil girl...and poor people who have to try to touch her!

One of the vet techs (or whatever they're called)

put a finger up to her carrier and said hi.

What did our sweet lil girl do???

She hissed, of course!

We had just explained to the check in lady how Gidge isn't very good around strangers.

So, this didn't shock them too much when she hissed;

but as a kitty parent, it's not a good feeling to witness her unfriendliness.

(here she's smashing her face against her carrier trying to escape)

Good luck Gidgey (and everyone there)!

See you tomorrow!

My valentine and me

New items!

I added a few new things

to the orange room. today!

Go take a peek! : )

Bob had an assessment test yesterday for a job in his field of education. I'm being pulled in two different directions with my emotions about this. On one hand, I would love for him to get the job...it pays well and he's really excited to actually be able to use his knowledge he gained in college. On the other hand...that would mean we would have to move back to our home town area...BLECH! The thought of moving back there makes me want to scream. It's a small town and everybody knows everybody. Which means, everybody knows everybody's business, ugh. I just don't want to be back there! For now, I'm just trying not to think about it! : )

The test was in a town over an hour away from here...I went up with him and did some shopping while he was testing. I went to JoAnn and instantly fell in love with their fabric selection! I'm used to Hancock and JoAnn has more of my taste in fabric. I like the big chunky designs and the funky stuff....Hancock seems to have a lot of small print and what I call "grandma" prints, haha.

I was able to find fabric for a green and brown scarf within minutes of being in the store! It was so amazing!!! At Hancock I'm usually there for quite some time searching for enough coordinating fabrics that I like together. It was so nice to find so many things that I loved...if only I could have purchased them all!!!

I have finished one scarf tonight (you bet your butt I'll be wearing it tomorrow!) and have three others that simply need to be top stitched to be completed. I cannot wait to show you a picture of it tomorrow! ...I would take a picture now, but I would prefer to wait until day time to get better lighting.

I am hoping to hit up Hancock (yay coupon!!) tomorrow to pick up another round of fabrics for another color scarf! I love them so much...I seem to wear one every other day these days!

Well, it is 2:30am and I should get my behind to bed!

Just loungin'

This was just too cute not to show off...cute lil kitty!

mmm...dinner!

What do you get when you mix black beans, onion, green pepper, a lil red pepper, corn, tomato, cumin, salt and pepper??

Dinner!

Served on top of white rice with salsa and sour cream : )

Yumm!!!

Yea, I know I've been slacking on the blogging! To be honest, I just haven't known what to blog about! I haven't really done anything interesting lately : ( no projects, no exciting new fabric to show off, no pictures, nothing!

I helped out at the tuxedo rental place I used to work at a few days last week. They had a family emergency and needed some help...da da daaaa!!!!

Lacy to the rescue! Haha!

You may not know this but I have been unemployed for...well, we'll just say a while. The few days of working last week made me realize I actually miss working. It's soooo easy to get caught up in the laziness of unemployment and it is nice to not work, but I miss the interaction with people! I miss socializing regularly! I was socially awkward to begin with and I think unemployment has made it worse! I have very limited interaction with people I don't know now, mainly just friends and family. When I'm at work, chatting and being outgoing seems so much easier. It's like its part of the job and its a requirement, haha.

I'm really excited about having worked a few days and possibly being able to get a few days next week as well...fabric money! Woo!!! I haven't been able to buy any lately as I spent all my "fun" money for last week during the week before, haha. Darn it!

I thinking working as given me more motivation to do stuff around the house as well. It just makes it seem easier to do stuff around the house when I've already been working. I've gotten so lazy these days it's not even funny, just ask Bob! He's been great and has been taking care of a lot of the stuff around the house. I'm surprised he hasn't dumped my butt yet, haha.

And on that note...I need to go do some dishes!

I hope to have more exciting things to blog about next week!

Next up...

So, I've been thinking and I have a few ideas

for new products for the orange room.

I'm thinking...reusable snack/sandwich bags and lunch bags!

I would also like to make some make up/toiletry bags.

I am thinking the make up bags will come first, as I am having a hard time finding out if there is truly a food safe waterproof fabric out there...I have an email in to the info people at the FDA.

I'm hoping I will be able to show you a sample make up bag Thursday!

PS...I added a few pairs of earrings to my shop!

Go check 'em out! : )
