Renovating

Indie
was starting to figure out that s/he could maybe get
out of its cage, the spacing of the bars was a little
too big, so I was getting nervous. I didn't want my
little Indie to get out while I was at work and get
hurt. So it was time to say good bye to the cage that
I currently had invest in a new one. This one is much
better, now I won't be worring all day.
Here I am sewing and ironing, and watch OTH (One Tree Hill) when all the sudden black out. AAAHHHH it was pitch black. That really put a dent on my evening. I wasn't able to take Indie out and play for very long and I wasn't able to finish watching my show and sew. So I sat in the candle light for about 2 hours knitting a hat. OH joy! The powers back on, but its ablout my bed time. So there went my night.
Well happy sewing to all and to all a dreamful night.

Total Change
23/Oct/06 06:10 PM
Today I
was talking to my brother (Happy Birthday big bro)
and he has gotten a new family member as well. A
beautiful Jenday Conure, very sweet from what he
tells me. He named her Mahana.
Anyhoo.... he asked me why Peepers, I told him I thought about Piper, but my husband was all BLAH so he suggested Peeper. Well my brother continued to say that it was very generic and so on, I told him I have never been good with names. So he suggested Indie for Indigo Blue plus it works for both fe/male. I happen to like that suggestion. So as of today the birds name has been changed to Indie. I promise I won't change it again.....maybe. just kidding
I delievered the baby quilt today, the new grandmother was tickled to pieced, just loved it. She is taking it to her son this evening. I can't wait to hear what his reaction is. He is a big Curious George fan and isn't expecting this at all.

Frustration & Accomplishments
22/Oct/06 08:23 PM
Today
was a day of accomplishments as well as frustrations.
I was working on the baby quilt that I is due by the
end of the month (even though the baby was born 3
weeks early). I got the quilt all quilted yesterday,
things went pretty smooth. I love my new quilting
machine. But then today I went to add on the binding
and the sewing machine that I am using is my
mother-in-laws and it just pooped out on me, I had my
back turned pinning on the binding and when I turned
around to begin sewing, the machine had just turned
it self off. AAHHHHH! WTF. I couldn't even begin to
imagine what had happened. I unplugged and re-plugged
and plugged into another outlet, nothing. Did I say
AAAAHHHHH! I hope its nothing major. So I pulled my
new Mega Quilter off the quilting table, set it all
up and finished applying the binding. THANK GOD, the
trauma is past, as I promised a delivery date on the
baby quilt tomorrow. (Pictures have been posted, its
the Curious George quilt.)
Took Peeper out for a while today, thats a ton of frustration right there. Peeper is so comfortable in his cage, that its a MAJOR pain in the ass to get him out. Once out everything went good, we did some chasing around the room, we did some ladders. After the ladders Peepers sit calmly on my finger and did some grooming. I thought that was really neat, cause that means Peepers is becoming more comfortable around me.
K well I think I've blah'ed on enough for the night, I have laundry to attend to.

Peepers
and I spent some more quality time together tonight.
After chasing him around the room and finally getting
him to stay on my finger, we did ladders, did lots of
them, and talked (well I did most the talking,
Peepers doesn't talk yet). We finally got to a point
were he would stay on my finger and look at me and
even went on my shoulder a couple of times. He only
tried getting away a couple of times vs. every other
second. Good times ahead, oh I can start to see them
now.
New Family Member
17/Oct/06 08:28 PM
Yesterday I got a
new family member, a beautiful baby Blue Ring-neck.
We spent many hours bonding, and it took a while, but
I think we are going to be the best of friends. I
don't know if it is a he or a she so I am having a
hard time picking a name. But I think I finally
settled on one. I named the bird Peeper. Peepers is
learning to trust me rather fast, considering today
is only day 2. I added a picture of Peeper on the his
one page "Peeper's Page." I was so worried cause
Peeper wasn't eating, well I don't have the bowls
that go with my cage anymore, so I had to just place
a food and water bowl on the bottom of the cage. well
that would be why s/he was not eating. I finally
figured out a temp fix to get them off the ground,
and now Peepers is ch-owing down on dinner. Makes me
very happy to see Peepers eating. I did feed him a
carrot earlier today, s/he loved it. Plus its an
added bonus that Peepers actually ate it from me,
that shows trust. I can't wait for our long lasting
relationship to mature into something
wonderful.
