Rest in Peace Minkus

  

So when I went downstairs to get my lunch together before heading out to work first thing this morning, there he was on the bottom of his tank, not moving at all - sometimes he'd do that and then when I'd get close to the tank he'd swim up and around but not this morning.  My little gold fish Minkus who I've had for the past year died, and he had gotten so big.  Chris buried him for me out behind the house : (

I'll get a picture of him off of the external hard drive later and put it up so you can see him and his buggy eyes.

Quick Hello

Hey, hello, how are you!?  So not a lot going on here lately - working and sleeping, thats about it.  Work has been super busy so I haven't had much time to sew, knit, crochet... anything!   Well I made Napoleons two weekends ago - they were made with a lot less layers that what I've had before so the next time I make them they'll be much larger!  This past weekend I started wallpapering my studio space... wallpapering - no fun at all, but it will look good when its all finished.  Pictures to follow once I finish that and get the room put back together.  There are a few things that I've been working on that I'll pick back up now once I start leaving work at the regular quitting time - a couple quilts, art works...  so more to follow soon.

WTF!?

Holy shit, I just reclaimed my old blog - pinknoodles.blogspot... and added it to my gmail account er whatever... then when I signed in I saw that I had a second blog - What We're At - I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT BLOG... actually I don't remember even starting it though its sorta familiar! Jees - what is up with my brain!? Anyway I've decided to start blogging again because Jill has started a blog!

Crocheting Sea Life

Found these awesome patterns on etsy and bought them.  Wunderkammer.

Here are my squids, they don't have their eyes in this shot:

Back to Blogging

As good as facebook is for keeping in touch it is missing "blogging,"  I know you can write notes and things but its just not the same.

I blogged for a year or so at www dot Lacey Haskell dot com but that was too tedious b/c I was using iweb and a non dot mac account.... it always gave me trouble when I was uploading new content.

I just picked up a Canon Rebel XSi DSLR... I haven't picked up my 35mm SLR in years so I think its going to take a couple days to get use to using this camera!  

We're going to a BBQ tomorrow at Serrene and Dave's.  Chris plans to stuff a salmon... yum!  Once we get a deck built we'll be having lots of BBQ's... but we have to get a fence up first!

For now here are some photos that I've snapped with the new camera:
