Tax Day!

I've always been excited to do my taxes- this year was the exception. It was not a good year for me. Next year will be better!

Just a reminder, today is the last day for the Grand Opening Sale at Zibbet- 20% off your purchase with the code P51WYM at check out. I've added a couple new strap slipcovers- these are new prints and a new design, and also less expensive. They're not padded so they're not as gushy against your neck as my other camera strap covers, but are gorgeous and I loves them. I'll be adding the padded versions of these in my Etsy and Zibbet stores soon. I listed one this morning on Zibbet and it sold before I could finish listing the third! I thought I had made a mistake with my listings! ha! Off it goes to Canada!

Oh, and I got some terrible news yesterday. My doctor lady told me I should cut down on my coffee intake. Ugh. This is while she's telling me how much she loves coffee and the benefits of caffeine. Rub it in! So... needless to say, I'm enjoying a cup right now. I might cut down, but not today!

A couple pics of the new slipcovers:

Happy Birthday to my Mum!

Big year for her!

We went to the Still River Cafe for dinner last night- I wish I had ordered the beef entrée rather than the lobster (especially since my mom ended up getting the lobster as well so we didn't have much variety), but it was a beautiful location, the service was lovely and I wouldn't say no if somebody really wanted to take me some time. Connecticut magazine called it the best overall restaurant in the state for 2010, but I'd prefer Bella's or 85 Main any day. The balsamic vinegar at Bella's is out of this world delicious (I have a bottle of it in the cabinet downstairs that I treasure), and I have intense cravings for the wild mushroom ravioli at 85 Main.

I made a citrus bundt cake for Thanksgiving last year that went over real well, and that's what my mom wanted for a birthday cake this year. Ask and ye shall receive! I plan on making a kahlua mocha cake later in the month too. Just because it's the birthday month and a good excuse to try something new!

P.S. I haven't done any tweeking on the full SLR camera straps yet, but did make a wrist strap for point and shoot cameras for my Etsy shop. I like it. I think I might be tweeking that too, but we'll see! That's the update.

They're coming...

Soon! Couple tweeks and they'll be good to go!

Spring Has Sprung!

It's so nice to be sewing with the windows open. The magnolia tree outside is about to bloom and we have a bunch of beautiful spring flowers around the yard... I love this time of year. It's not too hot, it's not too cold- It's Goldilocks weather!

This little guy popped up where a pot was placed last year- what a resilient little fellow!
