Yummers

Long story short, I ended up only having to work a 3 hour day today.  I finished by 9 and Hubs took the car to work.  Before he came home for lunch I got super motivated.  Dishes were unloaded and loaded, 2 loads of laundry were completed, and I made chicken noodle soup from scratch!  It wasn't bad which was nice since I had never attempted soup or even cooked real vegetables before.  I know-embarrassing.

Here's a photo and recipe for anyone curious.

Cook on stove top
-1/2 cup carrots
-1/4 cup celery

Boil in large pot
-6 cups chicken broth
-chicken- I used the leftover breast and a half from dinner last night
-1/2 tsp marjoram
-1/2 tsp thyme
-carrots and celery

Reduce heat and add
-1 1/4 egg noodles

Cook for 10 minutes and then garnish with a small amount of parsley.

Censorship

I think I have been a bad blogger simply because I worry what people will think of my posts.    That ends now.  I will blog what I want, when I want, however I want to say it.  No matter how badly written or thought out.

freedom is mine

Day of Inspiration

I love when I have a weekend of motivation and inspiration...

• Make homemade strawberry freezer jam
• Photograph some of my finished product
• Work on some new sketches for wallets/card cases
• Start on some demo treat bags

          

Missions all accomplished!!  Plus hubs even bought me some new shoes.  hehe

Craziness at the Cat Show

So this past weekend I worked the 41st Annual Championship and Household Pet Cat Show here in Austin, Tx.  I had so much fun visiting with all the beautiful cats and all their owners.  I had a great time visiting with all the other vendors and made some great business contacts.

Are you ready for some big news?

You can now buy lizziebees collars at Lofty Dog and my catfish at Gallery of Pets!!!

Post Show Organization

So yesterday we went to Dog Fest and actually had a really good time.  I may sounds surprised, but that is only because I avoid outdoor events from May-October because it's so darn hot out in Texas.  There was a great breeze all day and I met some wonderful people (BooBooZoo/Phenominoes/The Lovely Folks at Collie Cottage) and puppies as well.  Plus they had food!  That always makes me a happy girl.  There is nothing worse than forgetting snacks to an event and finding your only options to be chips or m&m's when you want some real food.  Anyway...  I forgot the camera so I didn't get to take any photos, but enjoy the before and after shots of my office area.  It always looks like a tornado blew through after a show.

After

You love my cardboard organizers don't you?  :-)  Eventually I will find something to house that stuff.

What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

Don't laugh at me- but I have a vague memory of making myself a Starburst sandwich once.  Yes, the candy Starburst inside a piece of folded white bread.  I'm mildly ashamed of this but think it's funny all at the same time.

Anybody else want to share their answer?
