Just call me a tease

Hello my dears!

So I am totally getting my butt in gear... ok somewhat!

Between the kids home for summer, The girls going to their father's for vacation or friends houses, or having people over and Monkeyman wanting to play outside all day long until dinner, there hasn't been much crafting going on. AH! summer time.
Lots of reading to Monkeyman. A total addiction to Pinterest, especially on my phone. Now I am on twitter, too.
Lord, when will I find the time!

I did start a project on sunday.
Can you guess what it is going to be?

Hugs,

Cherie

Got Magnets...

Hello my dears,

Hope that you all have had a great holiday weekend.
I know I did!

Went to the beach, got too much sun, had too much fun. Hair is lighter and wavery from it. There is no taming it now. It is a HOT MESS.

Got to love web cams.


On a higher note, I found out that I won a giveaway from Pretty Handy girl  Which is pretty awesome. And she lives in the same area as me. WOOT so I don't have to wait for the mail to get my prize. We are going to meet for coffee or dessert. I actually get to meet a fellow blogger, how cool is that?

So, on to the crafty side. I know I have been very crafty lately. Too much going on. The girls father came back from a 2 year stint overseas, so they are with him for the next 2 weeks. Mack has decided to move in with her Dad, lets just say I am not very happy, but she made this decision on her own. And I get a craft room out of the deal. I know that sounds horrible. But what else am I going to do with the extra bedroom for the rest of the time.

I did get bored and make some magnets, you know the ones you have been seeing all over blogland made out of the clear vase pebbles.

With some scraps of fabric, mod-podge, hot glue and some strips of magnets. EASY. Next time though I will use round magnets. This is not fun when you have to cut round edges on the 1/2 inch pieces of magnets.
They don't hold up much, but they sure are cute!

P.S. Don't forget to like the facebook page. I am up to 20 likes so far!

Hugs!

Crazy Cat Lady and Family

Well hello there my dears,


Those that know me know that my children are close to my heart.

The Vain One
Lizard
 The Emotional One
Mack

The Daring One
Monkey Man
I love my children, though they do grate my nervous frequently occasionally :-)
Monkey Man loves giving me mini heart attacks with his many adventures in bike riding and riding on the scooter.


Then there are the cats. My babies, yes, there is baby talk involved. I don't do it to humans, but animals get it all the time. Weird.
Jax

Murphy, the shy one

Marley, the curious one and eater of all food.

LOVE the cats.
Marley was a field rescue that Lizard brought home and needed a lot of medical attention.
Murphy was from another rescue group that I dealt with, however I was not happy with them and the way they communicated with potential owners.
My baby Jax was a foster to adoption from Alley Cats and Angels of NC. He was shy. A little bunny kitty when we got him. Now he is thriving.
I now support Alley Cats and Angels of North Carolina. Wonderful ladies. The group is dedicated to trapping, neutering and returning cats to the places they came from.
Please everyone spay and neuter your animals. That is all on that soapbox. :-)
We will soon start fostering 2 more kittens as they have so many that don't have their forever homes yet.

Have you thought of doing this? Have you fostered an animal?
Would love your thoughts on this.

Hugs,
Cherie
