lately

it's pretty much all cats and dogs!










Not much more from this week, because well, it's an embarrassing story... I did the dumbest thing early this week. I was standing on a swivel chair photographing some paper cuts Chad, of Mon Petit Fantome, sent me – lovely, lovely papers cuts of Jeremy & I – and like an idiot I fell off said swivel chair. Didn't even get the picture! I was pretty much out of it physically the rest of the week, and since Jeremy was away for work until Sunday night, there was no one to help me out in my pathetic state.

This reminded me of a David Sedaris story, Monster Mash, where he visits a morgue.  He describes the people and the unpredictable ways that they died – a woman is hit by a car while waiting in line at a hamburger stand, a man falls from a ladder while trying to change a light bulb. Of this man's autopsy he says it "was the best argument for the buddy system I'd ever seen." Moral of the story, don't stand on a swivel chair and don't eat hamburgers. 

Sunday was the best though! Crafting at Etsy with some lovely, inspiring, crafty ladies, like Nicole of Astulabee, one of my favorite makers! Danielle is fostering Myrtle, that little lady in the bag. Little fuzzy ones + crafty lady mimosa times, best end to a lame week....
