How is your week going?

Well, yesterday I left work and found that someone was nice enough to leave a big dent in the side of my truck. Guess they thought that it didn't look right, so they would leave their mark on my truck. Wish they would have signed it too, so I would know who to charge the deductable to. LOL
Can you say SQUISH? I could be mad, but why? Man, they did a doosy on it. Glad that the door and the window weren't damaged. Cause then I couldn't drive it. I was joking around yesterday that the force wasn't with me. Cause May the 4th is my favorite holiday...International Star Wars day! But really it was. Cause one of my coworkers was involved in a hit and run. He was going through the intersection legally, and someone ran the red light right into his car. Of course the person who hit him tried to run away, but luckily they caught him. Thank goodness. So I really was lucky not to have been in my truck.

Well, so to brighten my day, I'll post a couple of kitten pics. This is a pic of mom and the kittens in the small box. they're a little squished, but cute.



Here are the kittens a few days later. They're eyes are starting to open. They're too darn cute. But sad to say, one of the kittens died last night. We think a predator got to it cause their cardboard box fell over one day, so we moved them to a new box, but it was a bit too accessible to other critters.

So, my dad moved the box and attached it to a shelf so it wouldn't fall down. He also put a lid on the box so that nothing could get to them. LOL So hopefully they'll be safe.

New Thread...

So I tried this new thread yesterday for embroidering. I've been using Rayon thread since I started. And I just found out that Polyester thread is supposed to be better for embroidering. It doesn't fade as quickly as Rayon will.

So, I thought I'd try some Poly thread. I had to do new jackets for FGSA, so I thought I'd try it on that. OMG, they're not kidding when they say it's better thread. Now I have to replace all my thread. I just LOVE it! it stitches out so nicely.

So now, I'll be spending a lot of ime at Eddie's Quilting Bee replacing all my thread. LOL
