I've been busy. Really busy. So I'm sad to say I haven't been in my new sewing room to really get started on everything. The best I've been able to do is get my quilt fabrics into a few bins. What could possibly be taking me away from the bliss that is sooooo sooooo close?… Continue reading A Stranger Parent…and a little extra

Dude is in my car!
Let's just say I'm not liking this person very much today. It's a good thing I've learned to leave a wet snotty kleenex on my passenger side seat. Not really...but wish I'd had. I'll be back with more dream sewing soon!
The Craigslist Option – Chapter 2 in my quest to find a new furry best freind
Have you ever used Craigslist? It is really confusing to me but I went on there to see what dogs are out there looking to be re-homed. It is so sad. Just one after another, listed between the cichlids and the pythons are the Buddy's, the Jazz's, and the Rocky's. Some listings were repeated, some… Continue reading The Craigslist Option – Chapter 2 in my quest to find a new furry best freind
My Adventures and Mishaps for a new Furry Four Legged Friend – Chapter 1
It has been nagging me for two weeks now. I don't know what to do in the morning anymore. I can't sleep sometimes and wake up at 4:00am. I've been so used to getting up in the morning and going for a walk, with a dog, and seeing the same people all the time that… Continue reading My Adventures and Mishaps for a new Furry Four Legged Friend – Chapter 1
Alma Mater Pride! ‘Nawlins has a gem and I hope they know it.
I read an article yesterday written by journalist Tom James for the Tribune-Star out of Indiana. He writes about how Drew Brees, the now 'world' famous quarterback for the New Orleans Saints managed to get in a plug for his Alma Mater, the Purdue Boilermakers during a press conference at the Super Bowl. He writes;… Continue reading Alma Mater Pride! ‘Nawlins has a gem and I hope they know it.
Finding Money I didn’t know I had!
About a year and a half ago (around August 2008) during the big gas price craziness. Remember that time? Remember paying over $4.25 per gallon? Well I do. It was nuts. Anyway, about that time I switched my credit card to one that was offering .05c off per gallon when used to purchase gas. After… Continue reading Finding Money I didn’t know I had!
Goodbye Dear Friend
No sewing words today. There are other words that have to be written. We said goodbye to our dear friend yesterday. He went peacefully. He gave it up so quick, with no fight. A part of him must have been ready. There was no pain anymore and his head rested in my hands. His eyes… Continue reading Goodbye Dear Friend
He’s broken me.
It happened yesterday. He's worn me down to the point of breakup. And he knew it. I left MTD in the kitchen yesterday while we were at work and I came home to a scene from a really bad "pet hoarder" documentary. I put down towels in case he couldn't 'hold it' but it was… Continue reading He’s broken me.
Haiti…let us help and do what we can.
This isn't going un-noticed. I want to write a post real quick about the situation in Haiti and hope you all will be generous in your philanthropy to organizations that can and will use your funds to help this poor nation and these people. I feel too as though I am in limbo as one… Continue reading Haiti…let us help and do what we can.
Let sleeping dogs lie?
This is how it goes around here. MTD (Mike The Dog) loves his bed but can't figure out how to get his back legs in underneath him so he often will just crash. Normally, he should be going the other way, the longer lenghthwise way. A little bit more comfortable then having your head banged… Continue reading Let sleeping dogs lie?
