A weekend of woes!!

Boy does being sick on the nicest weekend of the year so far really stink! We're all walking around like the zombies from the THRILLER video BIG TIME!! Kleenexes are everywhere, we each take a different medication (Baby, toddler, ear infection, liquid, gel caps) and we are so stuffed up that the volume on our TV is at like 500 and we still can't hear it :)

I have had a little time to craft and finally cranked out 2 new pieces, they are really cute. I was then rudely kicked out of my studio by my husband who insisted that making jewelry could be his thing too! So he added a new necklace to his shop! He makes me laugh. (But then I start to cough, and then hack, and then heave and before I know it I can't breathe).

This is my Candy Kisses Necklace http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10308373

This is what my husband kindly refers to as Geek Chic! Computer keys and that plug that connects the keyboard to the back of the computer!

Here is my husbands first attempt at Jewelry it's a necklace, but it's a LEGO miniFig from his shop:

He works with legos and figured this would be a great way to branch out!

Lucky in Love

Have I told you how much I love my husband!?!? Honestly, he's great! We went antiquing this evening and just watching him browse and tell stories about stuff that he found made me smile and remember just how lucky I am to have found someone like him. I love that I can introduce him to new things and he never hesitates to try and then end up liking most of them! Him and my dad were just recently talking about our upcoming trip to the mouse house! It was his idea again to bring my dad! How cool is that!?? HE loves hanging out with him and that makes me loads of happy because my dad is my total BFF after my husband! So about my open house the other day, like I said it went totally well, but I have to come up with some new winter inventory for my shop now, since everything I was going to put up sold! YIKES! My grandma is coming in from Mexico in a couple weeks and she's interested in getting some goodies too, so I told her I may set up a little shop front and let her browse, I know I don't have to get all my funky stuff out since she's not into that! hahaha!! I've been thinking recently with my husband about possibly hosting our own craft fair and opening it up to ETSY sellers only. It would be a great way to branch my business out in a craft market NOT overrun by the old church ladies that don't go near my stuff with a 10ft pole! I need the funky minded ;) BUT my problem is that my husband wants me to contact the Wicked Witch of the West (insert the DUN DUN DUNNNNN music here) hahaha! He knows someone that is in the hotel business and can get me a decent sized banquet room for cheap, but well we both can't stand her and he doesn't want to call and I certainly don't...and this person is sooo not reliable! Believe you me, I worked with her before. Soo it's on hold right now!!

Hospital Etiquette?

Well I just got back from having some testing done at the hospital and we're off in a bit to another hospital to visit a sick relative. Now when you walk into a shared room and the person you know is in the far bed, what do you do?

Do you stop and chat with the first person?
Give them a smile and a wave?
Walk right by and make no eye contact?
Put on your invisibility cloak and just stroll in the room???

I am the right by and no eye contact type of person, I don't know if they want me looking at them, or if they even know I'm walking past. I get all nervous about this less than one second encounter and I have no idea why!! I think about it in the parking lot, i mention it to my husband (who really doesn't even see the big deal!), it nags at me in the gift shop, where I proceed to purchase magazines that I know will only get eaten by my one year old and drawn on by my 2 yr old and then i think about it in the elevator ride, the walk down the corridor and then i'm there, at THE DOOR, to the room of the relative. My palms are sweaty and I think, today I am going to smile and wave. YES today I am going to change the world with a smile. YES I am going to make this persons day...Open the door, in we go.....

ahh...the roommate is gone. Oh well maybe next time :)

Naptime is upon this household (Let the chorus of angels sing) and the dishes are done, everythings clean and while I was gone husband even spot cleaned some of the carpet! Ohh maybe I should go away more often!!
