Welcome to Storybrook...

Today was a very lazy day. Seems like we've had a lot of those lately, doesn't it? Normally as soon as I way up, I'm like, "We need to do this and this and this!" but I honestly didn't think that once. I was actually just looking forward to watching Not My Mama's Meals on The Cooking Channel. It's really sad, because as much as I can't stand Bobby Dean, I freaking love watching his show. I think making fun of it has a lot to do with it, haha.

Today wasn't completely wasted, though. We ended up sewing the blue and green butterfly set that one of our friends wanted. She's also the one that ordered the zombie set, but it's not even close to being done. She mainly wanted the butterfly set because it was already cut out and could be sent the next day. Anyway, so that's what we worked on.

We had also cut a set for ourselves out of the butterfly fleece, but since we found better fleece online, we decided to go ahead and try and sell it. A little while I after I posted it for sale, a lady contacted us and wanted to discuss placing an order for a couple cage sets. We showed her what fleece we had and what fleece we would be getting (I'll get to that in a second). She ended up going with the butterfly set and an owl set. We don't have the owl fleece in our possession just yet, but it will arrive soon.

Now what brings me to my next subject... fleece!! Joann.com has an awesome deal on fleece right now, plus .50 flat rate shipping today only! It was just too good to pass up. We ended up spending $52 on 10 yards of fleece, 10!! That's just so freaking stellar! Some of it we're keeping for ourselves, then the rest is being sold. Two whole yards of it is going towards one set that this one chick wants. She wanted it like 2 weeks ago, but had an emergency and had to put it off. She's apparently ready now.

We're going to be busy bees next week! Those aren't our only orders, we still have another order from this week that we didn't finish, so that's first in line. Sigh...

Hey, at least we're getting orders!

Omg, I almost forgot! A couple weeks ago I signed up to win a $40 gift card from ebay. All you had to do was list something and sell it within a certain amount of time. Well, apparently we did because we had a $40 gift certificate waiting on us in our message folder!

Since LaVaughn and I were both wanting Once Upon A Time, seasons 1 & 2, we thought it would be wise to buy them. Especially since you can get BOTH seasons for $32... NEW! And since we had to spend the entire $40 in one place at one time, we had to buy something else from the seller for $8. They didn't have much, but we were able to find peel and stick printing labels for Paypal, ebay, and so on. It was seriously awesome! I feel like we need to pay it forward or something, lol.

Okay, I suppose I'll end it there. I need to go wallow is self pity over my 9 hour shift tomorrow... boo!

Until next time...

Love & Peace

And lastly, the fleece we got from Joann.com:

We're no angels...

We ended up selling a set out of the zombie material last night, awesome! There is a downside... one of our frequent customers gushed about how much she loved the set and how much she wanted one. Considering LaVaughn and I ordered the zombie fleece strictly for ourselves, we were hesitant to sell the remaining fleece. When I mentioned that there might not be enough left over, she was super awesome about it and said, "Well, if there's even just enough for a pouch, that would be awesome!"

Yeah, there's no way we're going to hoard fleece for ourselves that I know someone else loves more than us. So that's when I told her there was plenty for a set of her liking. I know, it's terrible, but if we ended up keeping it for ourselves, something would be wrong with it. Karma my friends, karma.

Anyway, after we sewed the original set that we started, we cut out a couple more random ones. One for ourselves and a couple small ones to sell.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. LaVaughn and I originally intended on driving to Ironton today and getting a flu shot. That thought was quickly shot down shortly after realizing that they were having their annual "flu clinic" today and tomorrow. A room full of sick people all anxiously waiting on their flu shot? Yeah, no thanks.

We actually ended up driving to Piedmont instead. Our aunt was planing on stopping by later today and asked that we pick up a box of cake mix for her if we went to the store before she did, so we did. We even treated ourselves to a 1/2 priced slush from Sonic while we were there, lol.

Anything's better than being in a room full of (sick) crazies from Ironton.

Alright, I've exhausted myself. Not really, but I am done for the day. Until next time...

The scenery was far too beautiful on the way back, I just had to photograph it...

My favorite, hands down.

The Zombie Cage Set

Let the sewing commence!

Isn't it funny how I say that like my sister and I spent the majority of the day sewing? Well, we didn't. What we did end up doing was sewing one set and cutting out a couple for ourselves. I know, we're so stingy, lol. Since our new cages arrived, we thought it would be nice for everyone to get something new, even if it wasn't a cage. And that something new comes in the form of a cage set.

We still have lots to cut out, considering we only cut out two -- which we're still not 100% on -- so this wont take place until next week at the very earliest! But at least they'll have something to look forward to, even though they have no idea they're getting them, lol.

We did end up going to town a little while ago. A trip which I wish I could take back, burn, or stab with a stake. Hmm.. it's almost like I'm talking about a vampire. Anyways, the drive there was nice, but the drive back was miserable. LaVaughn and I got into a tiff and it just completely offset the night. We do live together and see each other daily, so it's expected that we have a fight or two, right? Oh well, it's over now and the bitterness is already starting to wear off.

And that's where I call it a night.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention that I ordered us some more plastic balls for the ball pits we got from Sarah the other week. She shorted us on balls (unintentionally) so I ordered more. I got us a 25 pack, surely that'll be enough to fill them all up. If not, I guess I'll order more.

Until next time...

The Warriors Three...

Well our Joann loot arrived today. Of course, it's awesome!! I seriously love nothing more than getting overstuffed boxes of fleece in the mail. And you wanna know the sad part? I already want to order more!!

Just as we started getting everything out to do some major damage on cages sets, family dropped by. It was just one person, but you can't be rude and continue to cut and sew when someone it sitting there staring at you. So we hurried up with our one set and left it at that. Not to worry, there's always Wednesday.

Since we have all this new fleece, plus some old fleece, we're going to have lots to do in the coming days. Now I just hope we can muster up the strength to do it all. You know how easy it is for us to procrastinate, lol. LaVaughn more than me... just saying.

It's been SO cold the past few days. It makes for great pictures taking days, but I'm always so backed up on my blogs, I never have time to go out and enjoy the cold weather. And fall is my favorite time of year, so I'm really missing out. I'm making it my personal mission for the week to be completely caught up on every blog!

I did, however, manage to take a few pictures of The Warriors Three. It's such a fitting nickname for Mr. Friendly, Lilith, and Harley. In case you have no idea who I'm talking about, that's our Tom turkey, our hen turkey, and our duck. They're seriously always together, it's hysterical. I'm pretty sure Harley (the duck) thinks he's a turkey now. No joke.

And in a quick work recap... I survived the fall festival!! It was horrible, though. We were dead from 7:30 to 10:00, but as soon as 10 rolled around, we got swamped! I swear to all that's holy, there were cars wrapped around the building for 45 minutes! No joke! It was horrible, I never ever want to experience that again.

Okay, I believe that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

The Cage Set

Fool me once...

The third, and final, day of nail trims and photo opts has come and gone, like a monster in the night. It seems like it was only Wednesday when I said we still had 10 gliders' nails to trim. Not to mention we had to take at least -- by my standards, anyway -- 15 photos of each of the adults. I know I could have taken less, but it's been so long since we've taken their photos, I think 15 might have been too few!

Aside from all the awesome nail trims and picture taking, we have something to be even more excited about... OUR TWO NEW CAGES CAME!!! Now we're up to FIVE brand spanking NEW HQ cages! I couldn't be more excited about this. Well, I guess if we got 3 new cages in the mail, I'd be a tad more excited.

We wont need a 6th new cage for a while though, so this is more than enough!

And since this is still a lazy day of no sewing, and basically doing nothing, I'm going to end it here. I would like to add that I have to work from the hours of 2-11 tomorrow. NOT cool! You know why I'm working that late? Because the cock sucking fall festival is tomorrow. I think I might go die somewhere now. Until next time (if I survive tomorrow)...

Love & Peace
