Hannah requested this for her friend's birthday gift. The dress gave me fits, and I cannot find "safety eyes" to save my life! I hit two stores yesterday, then sent Shane out to try two more. He's such a good sport. Sending a guy into a craft/fabric store is sort of like asking them to buy tampons for you. Which, by the way, he would totally do. Anyway, I think she turned out pretty cute regardless, reinforced by Hannah's squeal of delight when she saw it this morning. The pattern came from here, thank you ever so much. No freakin' way I could do one of these things without a good pattern, and this one was really easy to follow.
I'm whipping up a little backpack to put her in for the b-day girl. The party is tonight so probably I should get on that.
What's up next, you ask? A rainbow blanket for Hannah. Haven't done an afghan in a long time, so it should be kind of fun. I love how you can snuggle up in it as it grows.
Trying to catch up on some paperwork today, invoices and such that I couldn't do while the computer was down. Glad things are up and running but not that happy about the cost.
Working on our website, I think it's looking PRETty good. Will post a link when I'm all done.
It's raining! We need the water so bad, and thankfully we have some inside work to do today so I'm not going to complain about it. Poor Hannah though - her field trip today was canceled. She was bummed out this morning.
TV is getting good again!
Watched Lost last night, glad to see that they are starting to answer some questions. (kind of)
Looking forward to The Office tonight, last week was hilarious with the duel.
The Big Love premiere did not disappoint. I love that show!
Also enjoying re-runs of Arrested Development lately - a freakin' crack up!
Third week of daily cards (January is almost over? No way!)

V H C CHENG.Email: (vincheggg@yahoo.com.hk)Good DayI am Mr. Vincent Cheng Hoi Chuen, GBS, JP Chairman of the Hong Kongand Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.Gen Zaiki Taha Abdel, a businessman, also who was with the Iraqi forces and our Client, made a fixed deposit of Thirty million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch, a number of notices was sent to him after the war, which began in 2003 , but no response came from him till date. We later found out that the General along with his family had been killed in a bomb blast that hit their home.After more inquiry it was also discovered that the late Gen. did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. What bothers me most is according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 6 years the funds will be revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody comes for the funds, Against this scenery, I have all the information needed to claim these funds and I want you to act as the beneficiary of the deposit, there is no risk involved in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legitimate method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.All I require is your honest co-operation and I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law. Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this email if you do not appreciate this proposition I have offered you.All confirmable documents to back up this funds shall be made available to you, as soon as I receive your reply, I shall let you know what is required of you.Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated via (vincheggg@yahoo.com.hk).Regards from,Mr. Vincent Cheng.
Eyeroll. Maybe I can get a job as spell/grammar checker for internet scammers.
Got a hot date with my man tonight at the pool hall. His team is in the playoffs and this is a do or die tournament so cross your fingers!
Feeling pretty good and hopeful about work, got some new leads and an invitation to attend a free business expo at my friend's school. It's a private school at the largest Catholic church here so it could be great exposure for us. Brainstorming, brochures, coupons, etc. Maybe I'll have Jordan (the resident artist) do a display of some kind. The weather is fantastic. Sorry all you in the Midwest.
Yep, finally packed up the Christmas decorations. We have accumulated about 5 boxfuls over the years. It's good to get it down and get things back to normal.
Keeping up with the daily cards, and enjoying it. I really think that doing just a small project every day keeps the creative juices flowing. I think I'll post them weekly here, then I have to stay on top of it!
