Of Socks and Bunnies and Turtles...

with a few kittens on the side
look who I picked up today at the office for a while...
Sally's mini-me has a new official name: Radar
Proof that I'm working on my socks ;o)
More bunnies are hopping around here...
This isn't the one for KTS, he's hiding in the cupboard until it's time to mail! The lady I swapped with on Etsy said she will send my items out tomorrow -- which means it will arrive next week -- think that is too long to wait??? Should I send it in two packages? I don't want my pal to think I've forgotten her!
Linky: Tortoise's great but slow escape found via Fark. Sad, but cute.

There is a lot going on here -- but I have a lot of work to do now that I'm better! Yikes - I see some of it calling to me right now!

Neat finds, busy day

Hello Tea Swap Pal! Nice to Meet you!

I found a wonderful red bag at the thrift store yesterday, it is just the right size for me! Then later on, I swapped with another shopowner for some great items on Etsy too! I'd give her a link here, but I want the items to be a secret, (knitter's tea swap!) and they would show up in her items sold queue :o) I hope they come soon, because I have the rest of the package contents ready now.

I stayed up until 3 in the morning sewing softies last night -- but I have more to go today. One of these softies is hopping in the package too... Have to go post office for my end of the Etsy trade, and then off to work!

Willowpede and Sally-Mander were sleeping on some projects on the ironing board
Uh-oh, she saw us napping together!
Now that we are staying home more often,
we have to get along.
Well, I'd better just kick you off then,
after all, our reputation depends on it!

The Birdwatchers Stay Home

A note from Willowpede and Sally-Mander...
Did you hear? She didn't take us to work,
and she promised!
We had to stay home and watch birds because
J stayed home and fought with some large piece of computer equipment.
We bothered him all day though, so that was fun!

I'm back in the groove -- I had a busy day, post office and library, shopping and work, then back home to make dinner. I'm getting my pal's box together too -- have a few little items to make as bonuses :o)

More progress on the sock, I'm trying hard not to put this aside anytime soon. Chris saw through my evil plan to let this sock be for May and June... *whistles*.. it might be true, sad enough. I do have a pronounced tendency to let my sewing overtake my knitting.

On to making those bonuses! (Tricia, your bear is on her way! you should get an email today)

Movie tonight:Kate and Leopold (I am such a girl... I kept apologizing to J for this rental...) - I am such a sucker for these sort of movies.

Bought from: Dea Terra* Monsoon Winds	Look interesting: Two Waters Mandyed Yarns Cabin Cove

*Maia in the tea swap owns this shop, she's great! :o)

Delivery!

Mail that made me happy!

I can't even begin to do justice to the chopstick rests that Tasha McKelvey (blog) made for me as a custom order on Etsy! You might remember I mentioned something last month about them... Click here to see her close-up shots that show their detail much better than my camera can. I am so happy with them!!! They are for our anniversary dinner next month :o)

She also sent an orange Etsy pin which I will wear on my jacket with pride! Oolong tea came from Adagio's tea-chef today, and I sampled it at work while I coded HTML. (yes, I WENT to WORK today -- although I stayed at the workshop the whole day)

I need to get started on Carrie K's sloth soon -- now that I am feeling somewhat more alive. My lungs aren't entirely clear yet - but the icky part is over, and I'm breathing much better than I have in a week.

Progress on the PS:May sock

Thanks again to everyone for the well wishes!
*and for keeping me sane while housebound ;o)*

Weird sense of humor when I'm sick...

I hope these don't offend anyone -- but I get a little weird when I'm sick. J and I laughed way too hard over the first one...
Cat Cozy
J says we need two of these...
'Rabbit flavored ice cream (Softie)'

while trying to convince the guy that yes, they do have a peppermint blizzard...
oh yea wait - there is chocolate mint, will that work?
We went 'out' today - J said I needed it.. these are out on Perry School Road near McKenzie, TN.


As long as I keep liquids in me - I can breathe... but it got bad for a while, when we were out, and I didn't have anything to drink. J felt so bad for me he got me a coffee and a peppermint blizzard. He is SO SWEET, really. Right now he is cleaning out the refrigerator just in case there is anything in there that could make me worse. **hugs the guy**
