Today I had to go shopping to get some more beading supplies and some fabric for some custom orders.  I found this cool new bead shop called Red and Green Gems in Lakewood, CO.   They had tons of great stones, tumbled, semi precious, gems, etc, etc.  They drilled some holes in rocks for me, which was great, ...but it was kinda expensive. at $6 per hole!  But the stones were reasonably priced and they had a lot of variety.  
The last time I went to my regular gem shop, they were out of sterling silver earring hooks...and this new place didnt have any either!  Grrr.  I looked at another craft store for them and still didnt find any?!?  Why is that so hard.  I never did get the fabric I needed....I couldnt make a decision...geez.
Josh and I then went to JCPenneys, since I needed more work clothes.  I was able to get a few things...but the highlight of the day was noticing a pet store right outside of penneys, and we spent probably 1.5 hours in there looking at and holding puppies~!!  They had tons of puppies, probably about 50, I would say!  They are all purebred, which is not necessarially our taste, but they sure were cute!  though, I think going to the "pound" and getting a puppy is the better way to go   But they sure were cute!!!!
Rock would be so upset with us...lol

Its been so long since I have updated, I am going to try to get back into blogging.  Even just a little bit each week. 

For a brief update to 2009;
Josh lost his job at the end of February, and has been unable to find another job :(  
Its been a rough time for us, but we are getting lots done on the house, the yard, all those projects we have.  That's defintaly the up-side to all of this, the basement ceiling is nearly done, we will get the final inspection soon, then there will be lots, and lots of trimwork to do.  He poured a concrete patio out back, with more work to still do on that one, built a rock wall in the front yard, cleaned up the yard a lot, got the garden started (well, i did that mostly), and lots more!  He is still looking hard for an entry level IT job..so if you have any leads in the Denver area, please contact me!!!

I have been sewing, making jewelry, headbands, and lots more this winter and spring!  More and more I look forward to making my part time business a full time life, but for now, I just forge onward.  I am trying to market myself better...and I desperately need my website re-done.  I need better meta tags and stuff like that, which I know nothing about :)  (and dont enjoy)  So if anyone is really goos at that...contact me for a trade?!?! 

Of course spring means planting!  And I seeded our whole yard this whole winter, and it paid off, there is a big patch of green grass out there!  It looks sooo nice!!!  My garden is looking good, I have onions, lettuce and peas already up.  I just planted in the past week cucumber, beans, carrots, and will plant more soon.  
I made herb garden planters with lavender, basil, chives, dill, parsley, and oregano.  I hope they do well, this is the first time I have tried doing this...!?!?  Any pointers out there?
  

I also have a terrible cold that is driving me nuts, and I cant stop coughing, whine whine.  he he.
