Domesticity

Many things have changed over the past week. Emme lost the desire to sew (for a couple of days, at least). Emme rediscovered the desire to sew (with a vengeance). Oh, and we filed for domestic partnership.

This is the picture that Emme's bestie, Bianca, made for us. (I'm sure she's super excited to be mentioned right now). While not technically married, we are legally each others now. Sweet, right?

But, more importantly...
Emme purchased 7 new patterns and is burning fabric on her sewing machine. Not literally burning fabric. That was an attempt at cuteness. Like 'burning rubber'. Ha.

With 1 of the patterns. Concentrating.

Another pattern. Finished product. She's adorable!

I drew a crab. I just really like it, so I thought I'd share.
Anyway, we are now bound to each other through a small filing fee and a cute document that we'll one day have calligraphy'd. (You can find out registry at target.com under one of our names)

The week she couldn't sew

This week has been busy. Not just our normal random things busy. But, epic things occurred. There were kittens. Work was busy. And, there was Amanda Palmer!!

On any given night Emme sews or embroiders or cuts fabric or cuts patterns. Basically, she has some project lined up everyday. But this past week she did nothing. Zero. Nada. It started with Wednesday night, in which we drove out to my cousins to pick up 2 kittens. They (my cousins, not the kittens) were going hunting for the weekend and we were going to watch there 5 week old kittens for them. 

These are the cute little beasts. In a bag Emme had previously made. 

Thursday, we had to meet up with someone to purchase tickets from them.

Friday, we utilized those tickets and saw my hero, Amanda Palmer. 

Absolutely amazing!! For cereal, everyone, I saw my freakin hero!! 

Saturday, we hung out with kittens.

A valid distraction.

Sunday? Kittens. 

Monday, Emme worked a crazy long day. Plus, when she came home, there was kittens.

Tuesday night? That's right. Kittens.

I was tired of them by then, so I tried to eat them.

It's now Wednesday night and we just now returned the kittens (unharmed) to their proper family. They truly are cute little things. And, it's nice to know we can go and see them at any point. 

Hopefully, tomorrow things will return to normal. I miss the roar of the sewing machine. It's just not the same around home without that sound. Read back later to see how it all turns out.
