The job hunt is in progress. So I am, naturally, desperate to complete a bunch of projects and they all have to be done NOW. I don't get it either, it's just the way my mind works. Here is one that I finished today ---->I'm hoping the general idea is coming across in this picture. I feel that all this image proves is that I am not a photographer and that I need to paint my walls. Anyway, if you are planning to open an old fashioned bordello, I can clearly decorate the crap out of it. Or perhaps your hunting cabin could use a woman's touch. Look, I'm just saying - if your grandmother is a burlesque dancer, I might have a great gift.
Ha, I don't know why I'm being so sassy about it, I actually like it quite a bit and I think the picture doesn't do it justice. Inappropriate humor; just part of my charm.
I have a few other projects that I hope to take care of. I want to make Alex some pillow cases and I have already cut the material. Look how cute this is:
I've had the jungle print and the plaid-ish material for at least 10 years and have never used it. Sometimes, I am so odd. Anyway, the jungle one always kind of reminded me of scrubs a "fun" nurse would wear in a dentist office. It's called "jungle says cheese" -- I swear that's printed on the material, I did not make that up. The Cars material I got today at Hobby Lobby. Alex and I passed the cutting counter and they had it in the odds and ends basket. Alex immediately fell in love and started naming all the characters. So of course I tossed it in the basket and promised him a pillow case or something. I also have a couple of Sesame Street blankets to finish so there will probably be more pictures of my sewing machine lunacy later.
I've only cheated twice on the reading deprivation. Ugh, Facebook is like a train wreck - you can't look away! In this completely Mr. Bean moment, I was turning my head away and pulling the phone away from my face but still straining my eyes to see the screen. Oh and I checked out Twitter this morning before I remembered that I wasn't supposed to be reading. It's so automatic. Push a button, read stuff, brain off. I caught myself feeling bad for my Kindle last night, like it was a neglected pet or something. Good grief. If it did have feelings, it would probably be relieved that I'm not constantly filling it up with trashy novels anymore. I've basically been feeding it a steady diet of free books, mostly mysteries and thrillers, fantasy books, and paranormal romances. Don't judge me! I told you, I have a problem! I've actually read a few really great books ... Fine, and a bunch of poo. If I continue the food analogy, I've essentially been filling my brain with Doritos.
Well, I must be off. Let me know what you think of my progress.
Ta!

Hey I would totally hang that in my house. It isn't a bordello but sometimes it resembles a lodge where a lot of people hunt for clean laundry...or something. Job hunting can be a drag for sure. My kindls has been on vacatiln since I got my new phone. Well...sort of. I still use the kindle app. So i guess it is not really vacationing.
Hahahaha! Thank you! I asked Ociel what he thought of the wreath and he looked at it for a minute before just saying "uh huh." Lol, clearly not his favorite ;-)
