I think I know what a zombie would feel like...

I am sick. And not just the sniffles and coughing sick. I'm guessing that yesterday I had something that did NOT agree with me, and I'm pretty sure it was the grilled chicken sandwich I had for lunch yesterday. Since about 1 am I have been battling an upset stomach that has progressed into other things. I still don't feel even 40% right now. My day has consisted of the bathroom and my bed and this evening I finally have made it out to the...

So much for a lazy Saturday

Today the weather was supposed to be bad and this morning it looked as it that was going to be true. It's 3 in the afternoon and other than then wind having picked up it's a bright sunny day outside.This morning I had my second entrelac class. This one had 3 people in it and all 3 were pretty self sufficient so I feel like they were getting it and got a lot...

Quick Post - Shawl and Pendants

Last night was busy. I finished up that shawl and am going to try and get good pictures of it in natural light when I get home from work today. The pictures I took last night are horrible. I plan on making another I just don't know if it will be in black or a medium, sort of country blue.After finishing the shawl I decided to start working on wire wrapping some...

Almost Friday

I have been busy as of late. Yesterday some more pendants came in that I'm using for my flower pendants. I worked up a couple last night and they turned out pretty nice. I found an easier way to do the base background by using clay. It works really well for the oval and circle pendants plus the dried flowers embed into it better. One of the issues I've found with using the paper type backgrounds and no way to really secure the flowers is...

Flower Power

After technical difficulties with my wireless mouse and keyboard this morning I am just now getting around to getting t his posted. It's been one of those days for the most part. Enough of that though, here are my awesome new pendants. I LOVE making these. They are very tedious getting the dried flowers in just the right place but it's fun too.I only had one...

Supplies!!!

Today I was expecting some supplies to come in that I've been blogging about. When I went to check my mail I saw that BOTH had arrived. Yay! I've spent most of the afternoon and evening playing. The thing I'm working on requires setting of 24 hours so I'll see tomorrow how they really turned out. I'm a little leery and glad that I didn't choose some of the more...

Quick Treasury Post

I logged on real quick tonight on etsy and thought I would check out the treasury and lo and behold it was right at 333. So I hung around for a minute for it to go down to 332 and snagged myself a treasury. This one is moon inspired. Click here and check it out.I've been working on alot of knitting and crochet today as well as I made a smaller version of my hoop earrings that I am in love with. For me they are perfect. I'll be taking photos...

New earrings

Tonight I decided to finally use some patterned wire that I had bought some months ago for an idea that just didn't work as planned. I got the idea to make hoop earrings out of it a couple of weeks ago but it just never happened until tonight. I have to say that I am quite pleased with how they turned out. A bit heavy for my own tastes because I'm not used to...

Middle of the Week

I always look forward to the middle of the week. It seems if I can make it through Tuesday then the rest of the week is "all good" from there. I took a half day yesterday just because I needed one and it really helped, I felt much better today and did wonders for my attitude. I spent most of the afternoon knitting which is basically like therapy for me and worked...

What a day

Today was your proverbial Monday. My morning started off wrong to begin with as I woke up at 4:30 this morning from a bad dream. Then Little G was mad because I wouldn't let him take his Lightening McQueen car in to daycare with him so he was being clingy and not wanting me to go. I get to work and decide to pull some money from the ATM so I can go down to the cafe to get breakfast and the ATM tells me whatever transaction is canceled and...

Busy but good

Today was one of those busy but not days. It's hard to explain. First, I didn't get up this morning until 8:00 which was absolutely amazing. I am finally starting to REALLY feel back to my normal self and sleeping in was just like icing on the cake. Of course sleeping in made me feel a bit rushed because my class at the knit store started at 10:00 when she...

Treasuries, wrapping and classes....oh my!

I have had a busy evening. First I received a moonstone that I bought in the mail today. I'm a sucker for those flashy stones. This one is really nice too and a beautiful blue, greenish flash in it. I just HAD to wrap it immediately and gave it a garnet drop. It's growing on me and I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would when I originally started it....

If I have to hear...

the song You Found Me by The Fray one more time today I think I will literally rip my radio out of the dash of my car with my bare hands and chuck it out the window. Seriously! When I first started hearing the song I thought it was pretty good. Nice melody, kinda catchy sound....now I'm cringing every time it comes on the radio. It's about a 25 minute ride to work and of course from work at the end of the day. Then of course any errands...

Forever Sick

I'm starting to wonder if I will EVER get better. I'm sure a trip to a doctor could get me straight in a matter of a couple of days but I hate being prescribed antibiotics when I feel I'm almost over something. Of course I've been thinking I'm almost over whatever I have for like 2 weeks now. I think part of the problem is I AM on the upswing and then the weather...

Snowmen in March

A couple of weeks ago I came across the blog of hollyzhobby and her shop over on etsy. She was running a giveaway on her blog for these cute snowman mugrugs. Way cute and Little G LOVES snowmen. I didn't win the set of four but got a consolation prize which was a set of two. Little G thinks they are the greatest things ever. Here he is proudly showing them ...

Always too fast

The weekends always seem to go too fast. Today was pretty uneventful though which was a good thing. We did our usual grocery shopping and had breakfast. I went and did my morning knitting while Dave and Little G went to visit grandpa. Next week I have an entrelec class I am teaching at the knit store which should be fun.I spent some time wrapping another one of the stones I got in and trying to clean the other one up. One of the stones...

New stones

I'm starting to get over whatever illness I've been fighting so now I'm in the mood to start working on some projects. Today I received 3 stones that I purchased in the mail. They are very nice and I am really anxious to wrap them.I figured I'd wrap the smaller of the stones I got in first which is a nice, light, blue-green, kind of aqua piece of chrysophrase....

Picture Day

Earlier I talked about making a vest for Little G for picture day. I actually got it finished and only had to re-do the neck once. He has a big head and there was no way it was going to fit the first time. Here's the first pictureAnd here's how he probably REALLY felt about wearing a vest for picture day...*sighs* Yes, you are my son. Lets just hope that wasn't...

The Best Buy saga continues...

and not in a good way. So there was the whole scheduling issues for Friday. It took until yesterday for someone to finally get back to us. In the mean time we just ordered the stupid part online. Dave gets a call Monday about them being able to come out on Thursday. He tells them he'll think about it and get back to the guy since we already ordered the part....

What the....

I plan on leaving a long post later but I just had to post this real quick. You REALLY have to wonder about some people....http://www.clickorlando.com/news/18839037/detail.h...

Lazy Sunday

Today was a lazy day. Of course the day isn't over but all in all it's been a lazy day. The weather this morning was windy, cold and rainy. I braved a trip to Joann's to pick up a few things that I was needing and decided to pick up some card stock that was on sale to take pictures for my products. I found two different books of them and spent the afternoon taking some pictures with them. I like the way they are turning out so it was worth...
