Another down...

Just do I don't lose track of where I'm at, I'm posting a cage set that I sewed today. You don't need to understand why I'm posting this, I'm really only posting it as a marker. :)

Sugar glider cage set...

Just because I wanted to "check in", I thought I would share my newest cage set. :)

Sugar Glider Cage Sets

The market for cage sets must be down as well because I'm not getting as much attention to my cage sets as I'm used to. I think it may be the fleece I'm using, or maybe it's because the sets are $55 and no one wants to pay that much at the moment. I think I need to order some more throws from Joann's and do the $40 sets for a while. Maybe that will appeal to more people.

Anyways, here's a set that I sewed today if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Here's the beautiful 8 piece fleece sugar glider cage set I made.

What's been going on...

So, lots has taken place over the last 10 days since I've blogged. I've had some time to blog, but I'm keeping my mind pre-occupied with other things lately, things I actually enjoy more than writing. So, let me start with the most exciting news (to me).

We found a kitten. I know, I know, we do NOT need more cats, nor do we want more, but some jerk dropped a kitten off (maybe more) next to our mailbox. We were driving home I want to say Thursday before last and there she was. LaVaughn got out of the car and chased her down, then we brought her down to the house.

She's young, probably no older than 3 months and was super skinny. She had some eye irritation going on and started sneezing quite a bit over the weekend, so I called Monday and made her vet appointment for Thursday. Her check-up went good, aside from being a tad on the sickly side, but Heather said she really didn't even look that bad. Her lungs sounded good, so she was almost certain she had a viral infection which resulted in a URI. She's on 10 (I think) days of Clavamox now.

LaVaughn and I both swear up and down that she's Bart's kitten. She looks identical to him, even when he was a kitten. I would almost put money on the fact that she's one of his babies, which warms my heart. I miss Bart so much and think of him often. Even more now, but it doesn't make me as sad as my memories of him. We've decided to name her Clementine, which fits her so well.

Cersei isn't too keen on the idea of having another kitten around, but she does seem to be warming up to her. Too bad Clementine wants absolutely nothing to do with poor Cersei.

Crappy picture, but isn't she cute??

I've actually (slowly) started getting back into sewing lately. I sewed not one, but TWO cage sets last week! It was so much fun and such a warm welcome back into the world of vending when my cage set sold literally two minutes after I posted it. She even bought another, but has yet to pay for it. I cut out a set today that I'll hopefully get around to sewing tomorrow.

Sewing and coffee go hand in hand.

This is the second set I did. It's one of my all time favorites. 

In gaming news -- not sure if you know this or not, but Resident Evil 5 was released at the end of June. JUNE!! Do you realize how long we could have been playing this game?? It's only one of the best RE co-op games out there. As soon as I found out, I ordered it. Resident Evil 4 comes out at the end of this month. I'm dying...

Day before yesterday I had to drive my aunt to The Laser Spine Institute in Saint Louis. Boy what a day! The drive was effortless, but the waiting, that was the hardest part. I think LaVaughn and I sat out in the waiting area for over 3 hours! We watched what seemed like dozens of episodes of Like It or List is (not sure if that's the name) while we waiting on her to come out. 

They had a dining area with free food -- mainly some creepy chips, chopped salad, half sandwiches and several different beverages (mainly hot teas and coffee). I got a coffee at one point, but had to throw it away due to its raunchiness. We left with a couple things of apple juice which we had yesterday. 

My aunt got all of her day one testing done and thankfully she didn't have to go back until today to do the rest. Now all we can do is hope that they'll be able to help her out with a VERY minimal surgery.

Since we were in the neighborhood, we asked Christina if she would meet us and pick up the boys that had to be shipped. Since I haven't really talked about the gliders any, I'm referring to Nanook and Gendry. They'll be shipped to Florida and Maryland this Friday to meet their new mommies. #nervous

I guess that about sums up the past couple weeks. I live a very boring life, so not much can be expected in the way of thrills and excitement when I blog. Hopefully it's enough to keep you interested. Until next time...

I see the light coming through my window...

After I finished sewing up a cage set (and cutting some out, bleh) I decided to take some pictures of Nubbins -- the rarely seen or talked about 3-legged joey.

I'll start by saying that he is doing super well. He's getting big, he's gorgeous, and he's pretty damn sweet. He can be crabby at times, but that's just because he's a tad pouch protective, but nothing serious. He also hasn't ventured outside his pouch yet, which is starting to worry me. He's surpassed the curiosity stage and should be venturing outside the pouch already.

He's having to learn everything in a completely different way from all of our other joeys, so I guess he just needs time to adapt.

Like I said, he's super sweet, gorgeous, and healthy -- can't really ask for more than that. And the pictures I got of him today are 50 shades of adorable! Some of my absolute favorites so far.

I guess that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Smoke on the water -- fire in the sky??

The titles for my blog rings true today. There was some type of smoke filling the sky and surrounding woods this evening. Not sure why, considering I don't know anyone in my town so there was no one to ask. My aunt might possibly know, I need to call her. But anyways, I don't really know what to think of it. It's almost like a forest fire. And the smell, oh gods, the smell!

I tried to get some decent pictures of what it looked like, but that didn't work AT all! I ended up settling for some pictures of the sunset on the lake and of Max.

In other news, I sewed a set today in hopes of selling it today. Our Suggie Planter Buckets arrived today from the lady that we thought was our rival. Her buckets are very different from ours, so I don't think there's much competition to be had. She's also super nice, she even friend requested me on Facebook, as well as asked for advice -- we're all good, basically.

I don't think that I've mentioned this, but we're meeting Christina in Arnold tomorrow with Dale, who will be shipped Friday to Detroit. His new mama lives in Ohio, but the Toledo Airport doesn't allow for United Pet Safe to be shipped to them, which is weird. Anyways, that's the plan for tomorrow.

I guess that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Pics from today:

Love, love, love this set! Too bad I screwed up on one of the pouches. That was a first for me.

Can you see the haze in the forest?

It was smokey and creepy everywhere.

The road leads to nowhere. Actually it leads home.

Well hello there, Fletcher.

The lake was quite beautiful, even with the haze.

Max is a loon.

Here are the Suggie Planter Buckets:

Countdown to The Walking Dead...

I thought I would take a minute to update a bit while I'm waiting on tonight's episode of The Walking Dead. SPOILER!!! Denise dies tonight and she gets Abraham's comic book death. That is all.

Lets see, Friday at work was so sloooow! Oh man, there was like no one after 5:00, which I loved. I was also able to get like 6 copies of the paper while I was there. Why, you ask? Well because my gorgeous Milla is in the Mountain Echo Cutest Critter Contest!! We're sending in votes in basically everyone's name in hopes that she wins.

Friday night Bonnie informed me that I would be closing by myself Saturday night, which I did. Friday's close went well, so I wasn't too worried about it. I honestly think I did pretty good. I'm actually looking forward to more days of closing alone.

Today has been pretty boring. I cut out a cage set today that I'm going to sew tomorrow. I didn't feel like sewing today. I almost did, but I decided against it. I'll save that for tomorrow and the next day.

Well I guess that's all. The Walking Dead is drawing nigh, time for last minute coffee!

Love & Peace

-Megan
