July 18, 2008

Whoo hoooo it's Friday!!!!

Today is going to be such a busy day for me but I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY!  What do you all have planned for the weekend!?
Let's throw it back!!!

I went to bed with Bob Marley...and woke up with him. LOVE THIS SONG. Crap, I LOVE BOB MARLEY!!! LOL

Let me make a confession.....my name is Adrienne and I am a box keeper. I was cleaning out a closet the other day (making space for my fabric lol) and I have SO many boxes. But not just ANY boxes...boxes that my sewing machines came out of...I still have the box my macbook came in...my cell phones..my cameras, lenses. I just didn't realize it...soooooo I decided to take them outside to our storage house...guess what was out there?!? MORE BOXES lol. I ended up breaking MOST of them down and putting them in the trash lol. I DID keep my sewing machine, camera and lens boxes in tact though. I did good lol.

While I'm confessing...I'm also addicted to knits:

Knits

And that's not even half of them lol. I SERIOUSLY love knits. WOW. lol

While I was going through my fabrics the other day I found this sweater knit:

Sweaterknit2

and one with it unfolded:

Sweaterknit1

I'm guessing I have about 2.5 yards. I have NO idea when I got this but I know I was with my mom because she has some too lol.  Any pattern suggestions? I THINK I have a couple in mind but I haven't pulled them out yet. I LOVE the colors in this.

Then while cleaning out the closet, I found this denim jacket that I no longer liked but I LOVED the buttons:

Buttons

I took all the buttons off and saved them lol The jacket is LONG gone lol.

OMG...y'all know I love to go to the spa right? WELL I went to a different one yesterday and I LOVED IT....I've only been to one spa I didn't like though lol. Those of you local need to check out Fusion Spa. I had a facial, the cleopatra body treatment and a swedish massage. An afternoon of PURE BLISS. OMG. I wish I could go back today lol. So glad I didn't have to drive myself back home lol.

Remember my plea for a Martha Stewart Punch!?!? Then I let you guys know that it had been found?!?

Well GUESS what came fed-ex???!?!

Marthastewart

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes YES!! Thank you SO MUCH KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate it soooooooooooo much!

I also got this one:

Fiskars

They are so similar....but Martha Stewart ROCKS!!!

And on a final note, I will leave you with some cuteness:

Cutekitty2

and one more lol

Cutekitty

Is there anything cuter?? They are living in my kids playhouse  LOL I wish I could keep all five of them...but Tony said that's too many damn cats lol.

Have a great weekend guys!
Toodles!

Lets not even talk about my collection of "bags". Shopping bags to be exact!

Gurl! I can't believe you have so many kittens! Haha!

I really need a spa treatment right about now!

Luv the song, I sho need to hear it! :o)

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Oh my gosh! I'm a box keeper too! Thanks for reminding me that it's time to purge, even though I really prefer to keep my gadget boxes. *Sigh* DH calls me a packrat...I must confess...I agree with him. Sad, isn't it? Thanks for sharing "part" of your knit stash. You have a beautiful collection. And I love your kitty pictures! They are sooooo adorable!

This weekend I'm hoping to finish a pair of shorts. I also have two sewing projects that I need to start thinking about. One is a purse/bag for a friend's birthday. The other is sewing myself a fancy garment for an upcoming wedding.

Have a wonderful weekend! Susan

Nice to catch up on all your posts. The little kitties are adorable.

I love finding old fabric that I love but forgot about too. And your ice-cream cookie has given me a great idea about what to try with the kids this weekend.

LOL! I keep boxes too! I'm so glad I'm not alone :)

I thought of you when I was in GailK's yesterday.

Have a nice weekend.

OMG! I can't believe you have so many knits!! that's wonderfull!
Normaly, I have only 4/5 diferent fabrics, and each one were already chosen for some project!

Like the song...

ever since i saw i am legend i have been on a bob marley kick. i found my 'the best of bob marley and the wailers' cd and now even my kids are fans!
have a great weekend!

Oh my gosh, the kittens are so cute.. It going to be very hard to give them up...Loving the music.......yeh man....

The kitties are too cute. I love cats especially at the kitten stage. I need a day at the spa too, I might look into that this weekend.

Put me on that confession list! Yikes- a ton of boxes in my closet! I just never know if I will need to pack any items away in the original boxes... maybe, possibly, dude I could need those boxes one day! LOL

oh what cute kitties...I wish I could have one!!

I've seen that spa in Homewood, but I'm kinda "special" when it comes to trying new places like that without a recommendation. Glad you had a good experience.

Oh gosh... I join your club of being mad about knits.... I even detect that I have one of yours but in a different colour way... and the kitties... what can I say, they are a treat!

YAY!! And it's 18h30 here and I'm about to start my vacation!!!!! So what I have planned for the weekend: some serious cleaning (I want a "clean" start, ROTFLOL!), some resting, a nice tan AND, of course, some sewing!! (I could use a visit to the SPA too, LOL!)

hip hip horray for the weekend. We are going out Sat. to an adult get together - always exciting when you get to drop the kiddies off ...
I have more than enough housework to do - oh well I'll tell my husband it was too hot!

Will u please pass some of the "cleaning, get rid of stuff" over here????? LOL!!! I nned to clean out some things around here and just can't make my self do it. Especially not while the scrappin mojo is flowing. ANYWAY...I meant to ask u if you had that threading water punch when I didn't find the MS one.. I have it and love it. Oh, well, glad you got your ms puch. Now, let me see what u do w/it!!!!! LOL!!! Have a great one!!!!

lol I keep all my boxes too!

I love that knit collection of yours! I am addicted to knits too. I just bought a whole bunch of new ones the other day - I think we might have some of the same pieces!

I too share 2 of your addictions - knits and boxes. I have had two sewing machine boxes sitting in the hallway for weeks - trying to decide to part with them. I finally cleaned off the top shelf of the closet in my sewing space to make room for fabric stash but I put all the books from the shelf into one of the sewing machine boxes - telling myself that I'll sell the books on ebay. The fabric is now on the shelf, but I still have the two boxes. I'M GOING IN CIRCLES. I love all of your knits, you make beautiful choices.

I have always been a box keeper. That was until hurrican Katrina. After loosing everything, I have learned to let somethings go. However, I still have my camera, laptop and my daughter's Dora doll house box.

You have a fab knit collection!

I also have boxes from various purchases & need to go through them & purge... lol

aww the kitties are adorable.

Kitties!!! I LOVE a kitty shot!! They are SO cute. LOL at your Mac box & sewing machine boxes :D :D Mine are cluttering up my closet too!

Oh I nearly had a heart attack when I read "I tore them down and threw..." All the camera gear DH and I have bought new, we keep the boxes and all wrappings... Every sewing machine (now DH rolls his eyes at this one...) box and all padding and trappings I also have. My serger and embroidery machine as well. If you ever sell it or have to ship it off to get it repaired, those boxes and styrofoam inserts really come in handy!

Nice bit of stash you got there. :-)

LOVE this song and Bob Marley so much. I used to live in the Caribbean and as you can imagine, reggae is huge down there. Brought back memories and a tear to my eye.

Are you and Micah related? He loves to keep boxes for things... but don;t you know, the minute I throw them out, the thing breaks and we need the box to return it! UGH! Glad you found your punch too!!

Thank you Adrienne for putting a smile on my with that song. Brings back old memories.

Oh, those kittens are so adorable!
For the knit, how about HotPatterns Mini Midi Maxi cardigan? I think it would look great on you in the Midi version!
