Hello again! I must apologize for my absence in blog land again. I could offer you excuses, which are true; like we have been so busy, work has been crazy, and we have just been enjoying being a newlywed couple with a super cute pup…but I won’t bore you with that mombo jumbo. K?
Oh with the good stuff! Life has been pretty busy for us, which is a good thing. I have been busy at work and while I have days I want to complain about it, the fact is that I am completely and totally thankful for my job every day. I kind of love it. How many people can say that about their job? Thankfully I enjoy what I do all day…most of the time. While I can always think of things I would rather be doing, but I am saving those for dreams to pursue later down the road. Read: opening a bakery. For now, I am so happy in my current job.
We have been waiting patiently on our new furniture to arrive. We finally got the call today that it is in and ready to be delivered. They asked me if next Wednesday or Friday would be better. Umm, Wednesday people…why would we wait until Friday? That is a whole week away! No thank you! I promise to post pictures of some sort next week once it is in our living room. I doubt you guys are as excited as we are…but it’s okay!
Louie has been doing really well. I don’t see his improvements daily anymore like I did when we first rescued him, but I can look at the day we got him and see how far he has come. I love that he will go outside with us and not run off. We have not put a leash on him in weeks. In fact, one day last week I came home from work to Stephen cutting the grass with Louie prancing back and forth right next to him. It was the cutest thing! I wish I had my camera out to capture the moment, but I missed it. I am sure there will be a next time. The weather has gotten colder here so he is almost always in a sweater or something. It is so cute! I am looking forward to getting him a nice red one for Christmas…oh boy, I never thought I would be the person to dress up my dog. Really though, he is pretty small and shakes all the time without something on. I think he just can’t handle the Indiana cold!
Speaking of cold and dogs; what do you guys with pets do when it snows? I am thinking we will just keep a square shoveled for him to use. What do you recommend?
I have spent a little bit of time crafting recently…I can blame Pinterest for all the new projects on my to-do list! Have you seen the coasters that are made from square ceramic tiles and scrapbook paper? Well, I tried that last weekend and failed. I could not get the paper to flatten out properly and then the color rubbed off tinting the modge podge. Any ideas on that? I gave up pretty quickly and started working on this tree skirt:
It took quite some time to complete but I LOVE it! I cannot wait to see it under our tree that will go in our dining room. Since the room is red, we decided to not put any red on the tree…it should be a beautiful green, white, silver and glass covered tree hence the color choice of the tree skirt!
I also worked on some fall crafts, like this fabric flag banner:
I also LOVE this. I plan on making Christmas ones too, I am just not sure where they will go.
I am itching to decorate for Christmas. Really, I am. I am trying very hard to wait until the week of Thanksgiving at least (for our fake tree), but we are not planning on getting our real tree until the weekend after Thanksgiving. I know it will be here so fast, like in the blink of an eye so I am trying to enjoy the Thanksgiving season, too!
I just love this time of year, October through December is my FAVORITE!
If you made it to the end of this long and pretty boring post with me, you rock! J I hope that you also are enjoying this season and you have a great weekend!
See ya next week! (Hopefully!)
