Day Three

Day three...kitten watch.

Today was day three for the kittens. When I peeked in the box earlier, they were climbing all over their mom. After she left the box to eat, I snuck a peek at how they are growing. OMG, they are too darn cute!!

I'll try to keep you posted on their growth every couple of days. :)

Flowers and kitties

So outside of the house my mom planted these beautiful iris'. Of course I love them cause they're purple. I just think they're so pretty!

And the lilacs are blooming too. I love the flowers, just can't be near the smell for too long.

And surprise surprise! The mama cat that is our "friendly" cat had 5 kittens yesterday. When my mom saw her earlier in the day, she was still chubby, and when I got home from work, she was skinny. So I went searching for her kittens.

She had them in this small cardboard box. LOL right now she just fits, but with 5 kittens, they'll outgrow the box pretty quickly. So I know that Phil will build them some kind of shelter cause he always does. And we'll go out and get her fixed as soon as she's done weaning. I'm just lucky that she likes us and lets us get close enough to her kittens.

Embroidery tips and tricks

So, two weekends ago I took a class with my friend Debi that was called Embroidery T-N-T, tips and tricks. And it was a fun class. It really was a big sales pitch for this uber awesome machine that we got to use from Bernina. We all thought it would be more geared towards tips and tricks, not lessons on how to use this new machine, and by the way, would you like to take one home?

Sure, if it wasn't for the $10,000+ price tag on it. LOL

Three of us shared one machine. So each of us got to do one project. Mine was this one, it was one of those cut out types. It was cool, I loved the font that was in the project. The next project was a reverse applique, and the last project was one on monograming.

I learned a bit about stabilizers, and would like to take another class on those. It made me want to do some more embroidering though. So I think I'll spend some time figuring out some designs to do.

Japanese Kit Kats

So, Phil and I were in the Japanese market the other day, and we saw that they carried Japanese Kit Kats. I've seen them on the internet for awhile now. They make a ton of different weird flavors. Like this bag was a bag of Sweet Potato Kit Kats. I thought, that's kinda weird. But Phil was all into trying them. So we bought them.

These are what the bars looked like. They were a white chocolate, with sweet potato powders in them. And what was great about these kit kats are that they have no fat. You read right, no fat! LOL

Phil says they were really good, so I think he wants to try the maple ones that we saw. They also make a bunch of different flavors, they have shoyu flavors, miso, and a ton of others too. Not sure I want to try the shoyu ones though.

Softball Logo

So, one of our local softball teams wanted a logo done for their coaches shirts. They gave me this picture to create the logo. So I redrew it in AutoCAD, and digitized it.

This is the final product. I liked how it turned out. Their school colors are purple and gold, so we did the girl in gold, the swoosh in white, and on a lovely purple shirt. We also put each of the coaches names on the shirts.

I have to figure out some more softball logos so I can do more things with it.
