Starving Artist

That would be ME right now. I have a custom order to make but until paypal gets the funds TO ME, I can't even start it. That is a sucky feeling, I must say. But that's that, if I hadn't had that delay this week I may never have had been inspired to take scraps and turn them into Cat Sugar's. And I am lovin my Cat Sugar's.

Tonight I am going to a Laughter Yoga class that my friend Barefoot Artist is giving along with a Reiki session. I am very excited!

Later tonight........Grey's and LOST!!!!! Can't wait !

Anyone else gonna be watching?

ps I think my Mom read my blog today. That seems weird. I wonder if she bookmarked it? ...hi NaNa...

A Custom Order I just finished

Mike sent me a pic of his tattoo and a request to put it on a sock monkey for his wife. I think she turned out cool. She is in the mail and on her way to Burlington, WI.

While in Charlotte, NC this weekend we were FINALLY able to visit The Penguin Drive In (though it is no longer a drive in). It was featured on the Food Network, did ya see it? I had fried pickles, sweet potato fries, and The Plaza Pimento sandwich. It was all fabulous, but the atmosphere was better :) The hostess, bartender, cooks, and waitresses were all deliciously tatooed and pierced. The crowd was such a mix that it was extremely entertaining, punks, preps, families, senoirs, strollers. Please go visit them!
