Weekend

Here's an update on my weekend.

Saturday morning Lady had a vet appointment to check out her ear that had been bothering her.  So Kitty Daddy and I got up bright and early to take her.  Now you see, Lady is a little emotional and can throw a tantrum when she wants to.  We got lucky though and she was very well behaved.  (Except when she refused to walk through the front doors of the vet and I had to carry her in while the receptionists looked on, but we'll let that one slide...) Turns out there wasn't anything majorly wrong, just a ball of wax.  However, the vet did say that Lady was alittttllleee bit on the husky side.  Poor Lady :( He even jiggled her fat to make his point, rude.


At least she doesn't look too broken up about it.

Sunday was a day of lounging around.  I camped out in bed almost all day and worked on homework and embroidered while jamming Adele.  I told you guys, I am all up on her bandwagon these days.  Here's the progress I've made on Dennis...

I don't know how I feel about it.  I mean it's alright for a first attempt but it's a little too arts and crafts for my liking.  Oh well, I'm sure Cat will appreciate it anyways, she loves all things Dennis.



Hope you guys had a nice weekend!

New Project Idea

Today I was perusing the latest blog posts of my favs and came upon A CUP OF JO's post.

She featured a couple of pillows from this online store called catstudio.

These are the coolest. Come to find out they are all hand embroidered! Which got me thinking... if they can make them why can't I?

I'd love to make Grammie my own rendition of this Maine pillow. This is totally something she would love. I would tweak it to more suit our own families memories and favorite locations in Maine. I am getting so excited even thinking about it.

The only problem is... I don't know how to embroider. Kinda an issue right considering the whole thing is embroidered. However, I did watch my ex's Mom embroider a hat once and it came out amazing and she gave me a basic tutorial. Doesn't look too hard right?

Gosh my problem is always that I have too many ideas for people for Christmas. Is that normal? I don't think so, I think people normally have the opposite problem.

Ta Ta for now,

Riz

PS: In case you were wondering, I ripped this out. It just wasn't working out.

And I started this hat but I will probably rip that out too. Or try to teach myself how to do the magic loop method because I was trying to wing it on dpns, ya no not working out.
