In The Animal Kingdom and stuff...

I am a slacker! There... I've admitted to having this problem lately!

No real sewing for 3 days now!!! Not even anything cut out...

I've been reading up on new techniques and planning.. organizing .. does that count for anything?

The Bald Man was off work today. I can't get any real sewing done when he's home! Sunday was hoop making and I worked at the spa Mon.

I did embroidery these cute dish towels though..... I wanted to give something to my friend who invited me over to her house for lunch tomorrow.

I've also been distracted by my new mini obsession... and there's tons of Hoola Hoop Trick 'how to's' on youtube.com

I'm not afraid to say this... hoola hooping with the fancy tricks and dance stuff is HARD! and I am terrible at it! My waist is sore! my hand is sore from trying to 'lasso' it up, AND I've even hit myself in the head a few times.. whacked my calves! Pathetic!

Prada is doing very well here in her new home. She's been with us a week now. She likes her arch enemies, the poodles, no better.

In fact she never comes down stairs and avoids them all together. The aren't allowed up stairs...

and they know it!

Although a few times today 2-Pac ran upstairs a couple of times and barked at her... then run back down... quickly!!! Knowing he's going to get in trouble by us and he knows she'll whoop his little poodle butt if he hangs around!

Here she is all lounged out on my cutting table.

Here below is a short video of my toy poodles acting absolutely insane over a toy motorcycle!

My sweet toy poodles are forever entertaining... no matter what Prada thinks....

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

Just alittle hoop action

I think I'm getting better! hmmmm... I've got enough bruises from the hoop I should be better! I still can't hoop on my chest for long... and there's a good reason for that! lol!!!

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!! On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!! So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize. I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
