There you have it…..this is where I am thus far….I’m still not finished….I still have to find art to hang on the right side of the bed, and a new skirt for my vanity….I am really kicking it up with my sewing skills!  Not NEAR as much fussing and cussing as I used to do…..I made the pillows on my bed without uttering one single ugly word…..Praise the Lord!!!  I’m on a roll!

Hope you are all having a Marvelous Monday!

Contrary to Popular Belief…

I have NOT fallen off the face of the earth entirely…..still clinging by a fingernail…

As an update on my precious Bella, we have not found her…I have been looking for her for two and a half weeks and done everything I know to do….flyers, newspaper, Craigslist, Facebook, foot searches, searches by car….I am going to have to just tell myself that she is living with another family somewhere and they are taking wonderful care of her….I can’t let myself think otherwise….

Then…..Friday…..Seth brought me this…

I know!  I have to admit, I didn’t think I was ready for another cat…my heart is still so raw…but I have to admit, she has been a breath of fresh air around our house!  My old cats just rolled their eyes when they saw her and said, here we go again! lol  But she is fitting in quite nicely….she was a rescue kitten from the pound….a life saved….always a good thing :)  Her name is Sadie….she looks like a Sadie don’t you think?

And for the first time in weeks, I started piddling around my house and changing things up and moving them around…..
