Spurned and Moving On

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Snickers/Scooter was given to someone else today. The husband came home from work with the news that a co-worker wanted the pup. I guess it all worked out since I have not heard that he is available again. I was very sad. I really felt that he was meant to be our boy. I moped around a lot today. Call me crazy!!

This afternoon, I finally got my act together and went out to the closest store with thread and bought some to quilt the identity piece. Pretty good color matching.

While at the beach, I started doing some hand stitching on this funky tree piece that i started way back when in a class with Rayna. I pulled the stitching out because it was too regular. I am going to start over. While we were there, we found this strange little bead store with great prices. Terry blogged about it here. I found some embellishments that might work with this piece.

We got the organic fertilizer worked into the garden beds and placed the plants around. I will go down to plant them in the morning, if I get a nice sun break like we had this afternoon. I bought a set of Wells Lamont garden gloves at Costco. I just love them – great color!!

There is a glove for every need. I especially like the ones that are waterproof for working in sopping wet soil!!

Tomorrow, I get to have a visit from Miss Mia while Steph takes Miles to an appointment. This may be a standing Thursday play date. I’m excited.
