i’ve hit the vintage crafting jackpot. thanks to my mom! it started out with something not so great… my mom’s friend’s mom passed away recently. my mom went to help her friend sort her things, and apparently, her mom was quite the crafter. now i have the good fortune of having tubs and tubs filled with yarn, felt, ric rac, and oh! the pipe cleaners! i have so much good stuff… i’m going to have to take photos of it. i will! once i’m done sorting it all out! wooooo!
so i’m back from my whirlwind trip to the finger lakes region of new york. it was so nice to have all my sisters, minus tristan, together. my sisters are great; i don’t know how i would plan this wedding without them. all in all, it was a good time. i took just a few photos, and i’ll try to post them here.
i missed andy and the animals though. i can’t really sleep well if i don’t have at least one fur-covered thing keeping my legs warm.
Well. I have my almost my entire family addicted to Settlers of Catan. Ha ha! So fun. Only two more members to work over and they will be easy.
I’ve been entranced by patterns lately and I’ve always been captivated by circles. Don’t know why. Maybe if I went to a shrink they could give me some insight. So I made a few patterns recently using circles. Here’s three:

This was the first one I did.

Another.

This was the latest one.
This is how bike racing should be!

we call our animals our “kids.” and the kids are keeping us busy. we just went to the vet and spent some craazy cheddar. it’s worth it though. lucy is such a good girl even if she expressed her anal glands on the vet tech. she’s a doll. every night, around 8pm, she, like, passes out on the couch like this:

it’s been about a month now, and i think that carlos and deezer are getting used to lucy. carlos is really curious about what she’s doing. he’s always coming around her crate and checking it out. when we bought lucy a delicious new peanut butter-flavored bone, carlos camped out next to her. lucy didn’t care cuz mmmm that’s a tasty bone, apparently.

i hope lucy likes living here. i’m sure she misses her old mom and dad and kids, but hopefully she has fun here too.
