"my precious" gets a face lift...

Ever since my kindle screen broke and I got a replacement "my precious" has been naked. Just plain ole boring white because I really was not in love with any of the skins from Decal Girl and the skins from 3acp.com leave a residue. I finally decided to splurge and ordered myself a custom skin from My Tego. The bad news is that they are in canada so I was expecting a bit of a wait for it. The good news is the wait was only about 2 weeks total, not bad for a fully designed custom skin and shipping from that cold country up north.

So, here she is (and no she does not have an official name yet...) with the Oberon "Roof of Heaven" cover and a custom Monet's Water Lillies skin.

Garden Update

Things have been slowly growing in the garden. Most things are doing well, but I need to find some more veggies that we like because I have some unused space. I will have to plan better next time.

For now, the lettuce seems to be doing ok. My onion bulbs have not sprouted at all. The carrots are growing still. I just planted beans and they sprouted up quickly! My green pepper is doing far better than the red and the yellow. It has a full size pepper ready to harvest already. The crookneck squash is thriving. I can't wait to see it vining along the rocks. Vine plants are really turning out to be my favorite things to grow!

My basil and parsley are doing well... I have oregano sprouted. I still need to find some cilantro to plant tho. Something has eaten the marigolds I planted in front of the tomato plants... hopefully whatever it was, they are stuffed and will leave the tomato plants alone.

Kyla has been planting sunflower seeds like crazy so we have quite a few sprouting upward. This year I planted both a cucumber bush and a cumber vine... so far only the bush has sprouted and seems to be doing well. My honeydew is just now starting to grow a bit now that its warmer.

All very exciting, more pics below!

New Moon.. yum.

I have no hope the movie will be anything but cheesy, but all I can say about these posters is YUM. Even Jacob looks hot and I totally feel dirty saying that considering I see him and still think of sharkboy.

Many hours and a destroyed dining room later...

I finished my Kindle pouch I have been wanting to make. I am underwhelmed. To begin with I splurged on the fabric and now that it is finished I am just not in love with it. Second, I screwed up .... it should have a shoulder strap and I just couldn't make it look nice. Third.... me and fusible fleece are not friends and I should stop messing around with it. I can deal with it in diaper bags and messenger bags, but in smaller things I end up with lumpy unflattering almost symmetrical pouches.

All in all, this will work fine for around the house but it is not what I hoped to do and I will probably by myself one from Borsa Bella if I can find a fabric I like.

I am saving the cleanup of the dining room for tomorrow....
