Monkey Madness!

It's monkey time folks! If yer a local folk or at least somewhere in the Southern California vicinity, why don't you hop on down to Pamona to the L.A. County Fair tomorrow, where Mister A-go-go and I will be representing...Felt Club, that is.

Photobooth Friday: Fifteen Years of Friendship

This picture is from a strip taken in 2005 at my very first birthday bash just a few days before Mister a-go-go and I got married.That's The Leets in there with me, we're doing the platypus pout which never fails to crack us up. Each time we do it, it takes us back to that first time about fifteen years ago. that first time was soooo funny to us probably because we were at work and in the breakroom and this breakroom always managed to make us punch drunk. We had way too much fun in that room. The stories we tell and continue to laugh at make me feel like a lucky girl. This post is for you Leets, I wish I could come with ya to the wee doctor's and hold yer hand or sing or perform kicks from West Side story for you. I'm sending along good vibes and channeling Santa-b who wants me to tell you "brrrrrokh!"

Exhausted!

Ellen was a blast! We got in and proceeded to dance until the cows came home. I even won a t-shirt I rock so much. Along with all that dancing, not to mention the couple of miles we walked to go to Bob's, I have been stitching, stuffing and crafting up a storm. I am exhausted! Seriously! It's also a lovely gray day which makes me want to bake and be lazy. I want to read magazines and fluffy chick lit and watch cheesy movie after movie. I have even already taken care of three loads of laundry, some general straightening and have rewritten two pages of my paper. Phew! I think I deserve a mini break. What shall I do? Read, watch or bake? How about all three? here's a sneak-a-roo at what I have been stitch, stitch, stitching...

We're on Standby

Calamity & I are heading out to The Ellen Show. We aren't guaranteed seats or anything so we will geekily get there early, play uno and practice our dance moves. Me? I'll pony and Calamity will do the Robot. If we don't get into the studio, our next best guess is for the Riff Raff room and if that doesn't happen I guess we'll go get ice cream at Bob's Big Boy. No cameras allowed so unfortunately this won't be a part of my week in review. Now, what shall I wear?

Self Portrait Challenge: September 17

There's something special about my bathroom mirror. It is the only mirror in this tiny casa that makes me not cringe at what I see. Some days are better than others and some days just a wee fraction of myself in the mirror is all I can take. Today was one of those days. At least the necklaces sure look purdy!

The Week in Review: September 10-16

The Week in Review: September 10-16

Last week was a week of crafting and cleaning with a little bit of friend fun squeezed in. Phew! This week will be much of the same with a lot of writing thrown in for school. I've been busy stitching up a storm and dreaming up other things to make. The casa is a disaster of precarious piles of fabric and ribbon tumbling about. There are probably oodles of pins and needles in the sofa and of course I keep misplacing the scissors. At least, the weather is changing which makes for a more difficult wake up in the morning. Why should I wake up so early when the air is just chill enough to stay burrowed in the warm covers? Not to mention the fabulously bizarre dreams I've been having with cars falling from the sky and crazy bookstore managers yelling at me whilst the car is careening towards my head of all places. This break in the heat also makes it possible to bake, bake, bake away! Yay! I love baking and can't wait to try this cake.

There was no traveling this weekend other than errands. The mister and I actually ate all three meals at the table yesterday. How nice was that? We got more mulch for the garden, ate nifty homemade meals and watched a fabulous movie and a very bad movie (I know it was suppose to be cheesy but really, it was just bad. John Waters it ain't). I read a little for school and play and have sheepishly acknowledged that the mister is right, I need a thimble, my thumb is killing me! This week we are prepping for some Felt Club fun at the L.A. County Fair, If you're coming on down on Sunday, check out our Sock Critter demo in the Tapestry Building, we've got itty bitty socks for you to play with!

Have a happy change-of-seasons-kind-of-week!
