Wet Wednesday

Urgh...can I just say that I dislike grey rainy days!!! I woke up to a steady drizzle of cold rain this morning. After getting the boys ready and driven to school I came home and got ready for the gym. Met my friend for a good workout. Today we worked our backs and did 30 minutes on the treadmills. I'm bummed cause I put back on the 10 pounds I had lost, BUT I didn't add anything to that. So it a bit of a victory, right? BUT I am determined to lose atleast 25 pounds between now and April 1st! (Hubby should be home in April some time.)

Zeus is doing much better today. He spent about 3 hours at the 'spa' and when I picked him up he was trimmed, shiny and smelled fresh! Yesterday morning he wasn't limping nearly as bad as he was Monday night and after having his nails trimmed he barely limped at all. today he is doing even better. So my theory was pretty much confirmed. He now has a standing monthly appointment for a Spa Day! =D Here he is chillin' on the folded 3rd row seat in the truck on the ride home from the Spa. He looks pretty comfy huh?


Nothing newly made today, but I'll share a couple pieces from over the weekend and earlier. First up is my version of a Rement piece (seen here!) Each of the blueberries and cherries was hand rolled. The pie is Barbie sized and made in a bottle cap 'tin'.
Up next is actually one of the first miniatures I made...it's a pizza with everything. I was intending it to be dollhouse (1/12th) scale, but at the time I didn't know how to do that size properly. However it's perfect for Barbie. I staged the pizza with some Rement pieces and I must say it looks pretty darned good! The pizza is topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and black olives. And of course EXTRA cheese!

My Creating Pals

It all started about 10 years ago, my husband wanted a dog for our 6yr old son...I didn't think he was old enough to be respondsible for him. We got Zeus. He's a black lab / border collie mix. Then a couple monthes later we went with hubby's parents to look for a cat for THEM. (we had one at home already) Needless to say this black ball of piss and vinegar was curled up in the middle of the stove. (back story...double wide trailer, probably 200 cats!!!!) Hubby went to pick it up and it went crazy. She came home with US! Hubby said he always wanted a spitfire cat. Boy oh boy did he get it. Lightning is the only cat I have ever seen that when picked up by the scruff of the neck would NOT just hang there...she would go insane. (and my husband has the scars on his arms, chest and stomach to prove it! LOL) Any way...rather ironically both Zues and Lightning have become MY animals...not for lack of attention by any one else, they just chose ME. Lightning is my constant companion...it's rather unusual for her to be more than 10 feet from me...most times it's less than 3 or 4! And Zues well in his old age he is more than happy to curl up at my feet. Zues has claimed his spot under my workstation and Lightning has claimed a basket on my desk. (Granted the basket WAS full, but I actually moved the contents for HER! Am I owned or what???? =D) So here are a few pics of my faithful friends!
