Occupied

Not sure if you have noticed... I have been - occupied. So much so, that I continue to leave you all hanging and without giveaways. Hopefully giveaways aren't the only reason to follow me. When I sit to blog, I don't have much time to do so, so doing a giveaway post isn't really in my time slot right now. But, I will work on it this weekend, and schedule it to go up next week. I pinky swear. ;)

Aside from order making, what else have I been doing? Tuesday I picked Angelina up from school, and she and I had a mommy/daughter date. We went to Starbucks and each got a Caramel Frappucino, and then headed to Borders. We had such a great time together!! We are going to make it a weekly thing. Every Tuesday. Since Zoe is in school until 4pm, and Angelina gets out at 2:15, it gives us time just the 2 of us. I feel like times like that are important to do with our children. And, since I don't normally do it enough, I am going to now. We will do different things... mostly indoors things I presume... since it's supposed to be in the high 90's starting Sunday. BOO BOO BOO! ;)

I have a newborn photo shoot tomorrow. I am really really looking forward to it!! Angelina's teacher had her son 3 weeks early. I LOVE newborn babies! :D I am currently knitting something for it... show you when I show you the shots!

I have also been reading. Need some new recommendations? Good, because I've got a lot! ha ha! I have read the following since the last book recommendation post back on March 26th...

Evernight & Stargazer: This was a good series... I am assuming there will be a 3rd book coming out.

Tithe & Ironside: It took me a while to get into the first book, Tithe, but once I did, I *really* liked it. There are 3 books in the series, but the 2nd book had really nothing to do with the other 2, and there was somethings in it, I didn't want to read about. So I skipped it. But, I loved Ironside! :)

Graceling: This book was SOOOO good!!! It's a new favorite.

Wicked Lovely & Ink Exchange: I really like this series so far! This 3rd and last book in the series comes out next Tuesday! :) Can't wait.

Tantalize: This book surprised me. I wasn't sure how it was going to be, but I actually really like it.

Eternal: The cover of this book is very attractive. As far as the book... it was OK. Not horrible, but not great.


I am currently reading The Graveyard Book. Will let you know in a few weeks how I thought it was.

Also... not sure if you noticed. Someone recommended that I go to shelfari.com and get bookcases to put on my blog... have you seen them? One has books I am planning on reading and one has the books I have already read... so you can always see what I recommend or what I am planning to read. They are updated regularly too.

Read any new books lately? Have you read any that I recommended? :D

Well hiddy ho!

Hello friends!

I just wanted to drop in with a few things... First off... our new kitties' name has been changed. LOL! Not Pearl anymore. Just didn't fit her. Her new and permanent name is Alley. Yes, like in 'Alley Cat'. ;)

Would you like to know what Jenn and I do while we sew late at night together? :D





She goofs around and I document it. LOL! Please note that this isn't a constant state of goofing around. LOL! We actually DO get work done. ;)

OH! And. 3 New Camera Strap Slipcovers have now been added to my shop!! Lookie Lookie!







They are available in my shop Now! :) Click Here.

I so hope you are all doing well! :) Are you?


TaTa for now!


XOXO,

Shealynn

Nevermind!

We just agreed on a name for her!!! Her name is now PEARL! :)

XOXO,

Happy Easter!!!

I know! I am SO lame at blogging lately. Sorry about that. But, I am here now, and I actually have pictures and things to share!!! *gasp* ;)

First of all... I would love your suggestions!! There is someone I would like you to "meet"...



Isn't she cute?



She "found" us last night... here's the thing... We are stuck on a name... we can't all agree. I like Katniss, Katsa, and Suki... Angelina like snowball, glitter and something else I forgot. Mike doesn't like much of anything we suggest. LOL! Here's where you come in...

Do you have any cool and different names you can suggest? Please leave them in the comments!! I would SO appreciate that. :) I will let you know what we choose. I am trying to avoid anything cutesy.


Here are some other pictures from today...





I know! Her hair is a total mess! LOL! That's just how we're rollin today. ;)



AND!!! Here is a sneak of the 5 new fabrics I just received yesterday!!



I plan on sewing the new ones from before tonight so I can photograph them, and get them up! So, stay tuned. For now... I am off to enjoy Easter... relaxing is SO what I need. The kids got lots of goodies from the "bunny". :) And Angelina and I painted eggs last night. It was nice to spend some special time with Angelina last night. I need to do that more often. :)


How have you been? Anything great going on?


XOXO,

Shealynn
