Day 95

I'll admit it...while Barry has been gone I have been having

a torrid affair with my local redbox. 

;D

 

Day 96

Day 97

Isn't she cute? When she's quiet.

 

This event requires two photos.  

A pigeon flew in my car. 

I can't make this up!!! 

I was driving under an underpass with my window cracked about 

six inches and a pigeon dive bombed my car, came into the cab where

it proceeded to FREAK OUT right in front of me while I was driving

and then dive into the back seat where it apparently knocked itself out. 

I pulled over and just as I was about to check it's wings to make sure it 

wasn't injured, it popped up and flew around my suburban until it landed on

this window. I figured it was ok and after I had taken these pictures (because

I knew that NOBODY would believe me if I didn't) I rolled the window down

and out it flew like it hadn't just scared the ever-living crap out of me. 

Day 99

FOOTBALL SEASON HAS RETURNED!!!!!!

230 Project - Week 13

Day 86: Monday August 8, 2011

Day 87:

Another shawl I made for my mom. :)

Day 88:

We went to visit my dream kitchen from Ikea.

Day 89:

Kayden's Bday Party!

Day 90:

Apparently, according to the guy who was going to level our
house, there is a lake under the house that is caused by our
A/C condensation. Old A/C unit = TONS of condensation (aka - water)
that has to drain and instead of it draining into the plumbing
like new houses, ours just drains to the outside then it runs underneath
the house causing a freaking lake.

SO! I had to put a bucket under the pipe and empty it every
hour or so until we could run a hose from the pipe to my front yard.

Once the lake under my house dries up I'll be able to get the
house level.

Meanwhile my floors are all jacked up and some of
the doors in my house don't close. Grr!

Day 91:

Lily!

Day 92:

Apparently (apparently I just love that word) if you search
"soap sock" on Etsy my items come up in the top results!
Yay!

230 Project - Week 12

It really does seem like I am forever a week behind
on these photos. :)



Day 79: Monday August 1, 2011

I've started selling some yarn on Etsy. I've
bought a few lot sets of yarn off of Ebay and there
always seems to be a few yarns in the lots that
I have no intention of using and so I've added
a Destash/Supplies section to my Etsy shop.

Day 80:

This is a custom order I've completed that was
an absolute nightmare. The customer requested this
set of colors, should be no problem, right?

WRONG!

Apparently, Bernat Yarns makes new colors every season...
the problem is that you cannot buy last season's colors
from them. At all. Not online, not in stores, no-wheres!!!!

Luckily I had juuuust enough yarn left over from a
previous order to make this set of washcloths.

Day 81:

Hi. My name is Maria and I'm addicted to buying
school supplies.

I've decided to go through my extensive stash and donate
all the supplies that I have yet to use. I will keep one (and
only one!) of each item and then donate the rest.

I've had these colored pencils and crayons since I was
in high school. Yeah.

Day 82:

Ee! So excited!

This is my newly designed soap satchel!

I finally learned how to crochet in the round and I've
added these nifty little cinchers that take care of
the whole knot tying fiasco.

I love these cinchers! They're fairly cheap and make it
so much easier to scrub yourself! Now you
don't have to worry about your knot coming loose while
you're scrubbing! I love it!

See item here: Light Mint Green Crochet Soap Saver

Day 83:

It seems like I've been working on this shawl for forever!

I love this deep plum color!



Day 84:

I went shopping with Mom and we stopped at a Ross
and I saw these lovely shoes.

It took me 24 years but I have finally discovered my
inner shoe lover. :)

They were super cheap (like $15) and they
are amazingly comfortable. I usually don't go for
peep toe heels since they tend to pinch my feet, but
that is probably because I always buy shoes with a 4+" heel.
These heels are a bit lower but that is okie-day with me!

Day 85:

Mom's birthday! I intended to get a pic of the cake
but never got to it. This ICanHasCheezeburger will have to
do. :)
