Dance class was fun last night, still crowded, but we’re doing east coast swing which is really fun, and foxtrot which is nice.
I managed to fight off a panic attack last night & this morning. I have an appointment on Tuesday to talk to a lawyer (thank goodness for legal insurance!), so I just have to keep my mind off things till then. And in that vein….
This is really cute, but would probably be really annoying to wear.
… at expenses. Signed up for $5 off my internet access, and put my Netflix account on hold. Just a few more things to do around the house to make it more energy efficient.
Speaking of efficiency… to all those who call me “lazy” for chosing not to waste my time/energy on something I deem unimportant, my response is:
I’m Energy Efficient!
I looooooove the edge pieces of lasagna, so this would inspire me to make my own rather than buy the Stouffer’s: Baker’s Edge Pan.
So Khalua was sleeping on my pirate looking way cute, so I started taking pictures of her. During that she woke up. Then I started taking pictures of Mocha sleeping on my lap…. only Khalua crawled over and shoved herself between Mocha and the camera! I know she thinks she’s the queen, but I didn’t realize she was a camera hog too.
Also, if I ever move somewhere that it frosts a lot, this is a spiffy looking ice/dew scraper!
Too bad this place doesn’t ship here:
- Alabama Sofa - This is the kind of sofa I think is most comfy - rounded arms and loose pillows you can arrange however
- Granada Sofa - I like how this looks, though it’s not what I’d want for myself.
- Valentino Oak Table - Love the table, hate the chairs.
- Dash Rug - Why are nice rugs like this so hard to find?More pretties!
- Butterfly shelf - This is just such a neat idea.
Tablestories now has table cloths!
These stools are neato! Plus they come in lots of other colors.
And these are stylish personalized plates with a sweet idea.This stuff supposedly works great for pet hair too: Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover
Felt is the new fabric of the moment it seems. Here’s “How to Make Felt Doors” (from apartment therapy).

PMS week + stressing about money = moody & tired. So I haven’t done much of anything this week. Though I did have dinner at Mana last night with my pirate. And Sunday I saw TC to pick up brownies and watched her play some Animal Crossing.
Drool-worthy stuff that inspired me to blog:
Color Spectrum Umbrella, Collapsible - Love the colors on this!
- Heart Necklace
Apple Slicer
Of a tamogatchi. I got it December 30 and started playing with it. By January 5th it had developed a body and looked like an alien. On the 8th it “got laid and spawned” as I told my pirate. Sadly, I think it gave birth too young and it and the baby died sometime during the night of the 9th and was found dead the morning of the 10th. I actually think it’s cuter dead… and makes a handy watch! No more beeping at me and annoying me anymore either!

Interesting and/or Weird:
Pink bunny eye pillow! But it has lavendar… yuck! (Oops! Found out I already have a similar one when I was unpacking more boxes!)
- Turtle toys!!!! Soooo cute! I want one of each color! Or maybe just blue…
I’m into leather cuffs too. There are two nice ones:
- Thin Leather Cuff: in black with blue thread.
- Perfect Leather Cuff: in black

So this is way cool:
- Flying bed. Too bad it’s too pricey to get that instead of a loft bed/desk combo from IKEA.
I still need a new base station and they just came out with a new one:

I think I’ve linked this lamp before, but it’s just so pretty!
- DeLight.
I really liked this counter height Ashby dining table set I saw at a furniture store next to the place my pirate and I had lunch on Saturday. It was this set in black and came with leaves to expand it. This expanding counter height set and this normal height one are nice too. I’d love the black iron scroll with wood if I could find it in the birch color to match the rest of my stuff.

But if you’re looking for patterns to learn how to make these kinds of animals, Google is your best bet. Just search using “amigurumi pattern” as keywords, you’ll see long list of pattern you can use.
