Unpacking & saving little critters...

We are now up to 2 dogs, 2 fish, 3 guinea pigs & now little bunny foo foo. My daughter named him "Tweet" (Dad found him?her in the road) . After some Google searching we learned Tweet can be released when the little white line of hair on his forehead disappears. For now I feeding him kitten milk replacer (similac for critters) & assorted greens...

moving sucks

My apologies if that word offends anyone but it fits (fortunately my children aren't reading this). I can't sleep well or find anything - I feel totally discombobulated (not sure if that's an actual word but if it is it's probably misspelled ~ oh well!)


I am d-y-i-n-g to to sew something!!! If I could just get to the machine....I have to move boxes first- and then unpack it and then clear more boxes off the sewing table. If I ever locate my camera I'll take a picture of Mt. Fabrica :-)

New Fabrics are on the way!

I am so excited about the new Spring prints I ordered from Robert Kaufman Fabrics! They should be on my doorstep (or rather in front of the garage as the boxes will be huge) in about a week :-)

One of the prints from Michael Miller (on my wish list ) reminds me of some little critters we "adopted" last week.... How cute are these little hedgies?

 (we actually got guinea pigs - 3 of them- I still haven't told my Mother- who lives in another state- in DC actually- which is not a state - anyhoo, she is going to have a cow- and why at age 41 am I worried about that?)
