the year of the babe

Almost time for the mondo beyondo.

This will be dubbed the year of the babe.

I was strolling back through my calendar trying to figure out where the year went and then I realized that 'the year' is napping sweetly in my bed.

close your mouth when you chew

what's that?

oh, you were wondering what else the dogs could have possibly eaten lately?

here, have a seat and I'll tell you:

one rubber boot, size 6.5

4 servings of warm, homemade fettucine with chicken alfredo

1/3 of my morning latte

one delicious pinwheel cookie

kleenex

and one bag of dirty diapers

I know five big fat doggies who are getting nothing but coal in their stockings.

sailing the seven seas

Crayon Pirate

There was a single blue line of crayon drawn across every wall in the house. What does it mean? I said. A pirate needs the sight of the sea, he said & then he pulled his eye patch down & turned and sailed away.

did I mention?

did I mention that one of my silhouette necklaces is in the January issue of Country Living.

I am swamped with christmas orders. I'm out in the studio all night, every night. And right now I'm just trying to perform a little brain drain before bed.

My craft fair was a smashing success and now I have all kinds of ideas on ways to elaborate this handmade militia thing...

Tomorrow I need to get started on my christmas presents. 

Eight days. I'm so screwed.

day of rest

Today's been pretty low key.

In the past 24 hours the dogs have only eaten

4.5 sticks of butter

2 vanilla snack packs (pudding)

1 entire bag of tortilla chips

1 partial bag of cornbread stuffing mix

1/2 bag of salt and vinegar potato chips

4 rotten hot dogs

and the rest of my elk jerky.
