busy, busy, busy....
Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 05:48PM over a month since i sat down to update flicker, facebook and our blog - wow! you'd think we'd have gotten a lot more accomplished! while nothing new is happening at the house (yet!) we have been busy. just after the garden started to bloom at the beginning of march, we took off for utah to ski and hang out. unfortunatley, i forgot my camera charger so, there aren't many photos.
since we moved here, ray has been trying to convince me to let the cats out. i managed to resist until last saturday... 
there are rules for this new development. 1 - they can't be outisde when we aren't home. 2 - we have to be outside with them or have the door open. 3 - when lula scales the wall, she is brought inside and grounded for the rest of the day. 4 - no going out at night.
i've also reserved the right to add more rules whenever i feel like it. they are so happy to be outside, it is really fun to watch them!
we also have a new flower! sunday, i started making the table runners for our wedding . You can't see the color really well here but, it is "honey dew" from Robert Kauffman's Kona Cotton and the thread is orange.
does anyone remember Home Ec in Middle School? the rumors that someone sewed through their finger the year before? urban legend for sure, right?
apparently not. really, it isn't that hard to do! all you need to be doing is not paying close enough attention and, it goes right through! luckily it didn't go through my fingernail, just the corner of my finger pad. it also gave me a blister on the other side of my finger - i'm not quite sure how that happened....

your poor finger! hopefully it will heal soon. :) your cats look so cute outside - unki and maggie would just freak out and run away forever. :( they are so not smart.
Its so sweet to see Butch and Lula outside! You're poor finger, I hope it feels better soon. xoxoxo
The finger thing - something I would totally do.
My cat has been an indoor cat for the 3.5 years I have lived in my condo. Her favorite toy is a hair rubber band. She will play with it for hours, carry it around, toss it up and bat it. It's quite entertaining.
lula looks like she's just waiting for some tom cat to stroll by. on second thought, i know she's just out there waiting for tom cats. lula's gonna get some backyard action! meow!
I saw you write about this on purlbee and HAD to click. This is one of my biggest sewing fears! I hope your finger is feeling better.
Ouch. I am just waiting for that to happen to me. I've sliced the same finger w/ a rotary cutter, stabbed w/ pins, so it is inevitable I sew it too. Love the skirt!
I've come so close to doing that, too... Just waiting for it to come true. Closest is when I sewed through my fingernail. It didn't feel good, either.
Skirt is awesome and lovely!
Been there! I sewed through my finger just like that; even broke the needle! What's worse though is that I did it at college, in my patternmaking class. I had been sewing for a long time, but one quick look away (especially when using an invisible zipper foot!) and there it goes. I had to go get an x-ray too to make sure it didn't knick bone! Yikes.
I know that hurt! But it should heal quickly. I did the same thing last year, trying to sew a seam using an applique foot.
Love your embroidered banner, and those kitties in the garden are precious!
yuck! i always worry about doing that! that looks really painful, hope it wasnt too bad
