My Bed / His Bed

I found this cute four-poster dog bed in one of free Lowe's magazines that the mailman delivered.  I would LOVE to make one for Stuart, but I know that he wouldn't utilize the cute four-poster bed, as this is where he prefers to sleep...

I get the right side of the bed, and he's claimed the left side.  He typically naps on top of the covers, but sleeps under the covers during the night.  He sure has it made!  :)

Per Stuart's request, in the next coming weeks I would love to display a photo/story of your dog (with a link back to your blog)!

To submit a photo, all you have to do is send an email to me at:

squirmywormstudio@gmail.com

Please include the following...

One photo

Your name

Your Blog Title + URL

Your dog's name

A little something about your dog (special talents/tricks, fun fact, etc.).

P.S.- I'm assuming you probably thought that I forgot my promise of a photo of my new Target bedding- didn't you???  Well, I didn't...it just took a while to make my bed!  Not bad for $22- eh?  :)

P.P.S- We'll be celebrating starting Monday.  Work got a little bit crazier than I had anticipated at the end, so I haven't had the chance to sew anything for the pending giveaway.  That and I'm still debating on making a couple changes to my blog...I need to sleep on it a bit more.  Please come to visit on Monday!  :)

Crazy Eyebrows!

So, while I was enjoying my lunch break on the couch yesterday (one of the cool things about working from home!) this little bunny caught my eye, which is one of my mom's new Easter decoration purchases from Pier One...

I'm not a fan of holiday decorations, and no sense in trying to convert me, because it won't work!  :)  However, this little bunny is quite cute, AND the similarity to this little guy is uncanny...

Crazy eyebrows and all, I love him dearly!  :)

Good News/Bad News

(Source, by William Dohman of Oh, Dier)

Happy Saturday to all!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!  :)  I just wanted to pop in to share a couple of things from my week.  Do you want the good news or bad news first???

Good News

1. I'm almost done with my consulting gig- woo hoo!  (This should probably be considered Bad News, as no work= no decent paycheck, but I'll survive!).  Within the last four weeks I've driven 1,495 miles (did I mention that I HATE driving?), and spent 70 hours in the car.
2. I've completed and submitted 25 of the 46 reports to my boss, which only leaves 21 to complete by next Thursday (although my goal is to have everything complete and submitted by next Tuesday)!  :)
3. No work= more time in my sewing studio (which I've missed SO much!).
4. I wore my new rain boots to work on Friday (and they were so worth the investment!), as I had 5 site visits scheduled and it was raining- ugh!  Thank you all for voting in the comment section, as I kept the black and white pair from Sam's Club and my Momma claimed the black and white with turquoise accent from Kohl's!  :)
5. I'll be participating in the Orange County Spring Shop Hop tomorrow (here's a post about last year's Hop).  My Momma, Grandma, and Aunt will be joining me- yeah!
6. Last but not least, TODAY is my 2 year blog anniversary (blogversary)- amazing!

Bad News

1. Because of Good News # 1-3, I haven't had ANY time to prepare for my blogversary celebration, SO I've made an executive decision to postpone the celebration until next weekend (or so!).  I hope that's okay with everyone!

Talk to you soon!  :)

Sweet Divinity Diamond Baby Quilt

It's that time of the week again (yeah!), as another tutorial has been posted to The Quilted Fish's blog, by one of the Creative Consultants! This week's tutorial was written by Johanna of Jona&Lili!

Are you sitting down, as I think you should be for this sneak peek!  :)  Johanna has written a great tutorial for a beautiful Diamond Baby Quilt- woo hoo!  Make sure you hop on over to The Quilted Fish, and show Johanna some comment love!  :)

Guest Post- cjae: photography & design!!!

Please tell us a little about yourself- name, location, what do you like to do for fun?

Hi there! My name is Christa, I blog over at cjae: photography&design {www.christamorris.blogspot.com}. I live in the lovely yet sometimes incredibly annoying, Southern California. Oh the things I love to do for fun?? I love to get my hands dirty. I tend to put my hands in a few different things: photography, design, crafts, crochet—pretty much anything that may fall under the realm of art.

Do you have a shop? If so what’s the name and URL? What do you sell? Do you have a favorite item?

cjae blog is: www.christamorris.blogspot.com

This is my blog link, but here I have the opportunity to purchase a custom blog design (by me ), sponsor spots, and soon I am hoping to jump into photography.

How did your shop’s name come about?

“cjae” is just an extension of my nickname. My name is Christa Jae Morris, and as I was growing up and even today my family calls me C.J. For some reason, out of my other siblings and anyone else in my family, I got the nickname while everyone else goes by name. I don’t mind at all. As for my reasoning of using “cjae” for my blog and little business is that I wanted something I could carry on for a long time. I didn’t want to incorporate my last name because when I get married one day, I wouldn’t want to carry that my maiden name on (I want to take my husbands name completely. Hehe). So because I have always liked my nickname, extending it to cjae rather than just C.J. just kind of happened.

What inspires you to create?

I am inspired by the most random things. I find small things attractive in life and those things make me want to create. It could be anything: from a bottle cap I find on the ground, a new freckle I noticed on my face, to an accidentally scribble I made on my paper. It just makes me want to start creating!

What is the one word that describes you best?

Random? Weird I know.

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?

Venice, Italy! My boyfriend and I always talk about how awesome it would be to go there. I keep adding to our mental checklist of “places to visit” J

& to say good-bye...I would love to invite you to participate in a:

what is this give away??
