Latest News on Projects

Next week is our anniversary and St. Paddy's Day. I finished Joe's journal, and the Vagabond made it so easy. I will post all the pages of the journal after I give it to him. It really turned out beautifully, and you know I am dying to give it to Joe so I can see his reaction. A lot of work went into it, but when you have an electric Vagabond, it goes so much easier. I also got Joe a wonderful gift from Amazon UK....I can't tell you what it is in case he looks at this, but it is something he will throughly enjoy.



I also completed a mug rug, and love how it turned out.....very patriotic.

I can't wait to show you the journal. I am ordering some things for a vegetarian recipe book that I am going to make. I turned vegetarian, and I have collected some wonderful recipes, so I want a recipe book to put them all in. Becoming vegetarian helped me a lot in losing the two and a half stone. I am ordering some Cricut Cartridges from Hallmark Scrapbook to help me with the book.. One is called
From My Kitchen and the other is Preserves.Both have tons of kitchen items I can then cut out with my Cricut. It should be so cute! I can cut out recipe cards with one of the cartridges, and I can't wait to begin that.

Hi Micki!
I just read your Post and for better understanding I translate it with bubblefish.
I´m still laughing about the translation! :))
You wrote about the electric Vagabond and the "Fish" translated it in "electric tramp!" The translation is ok but idea of "working with an electric tramp" might be very funny!
It´s a nice project you are working on and I wonder how it will go on.

Oh, the next joke with the "Fish" is: next week you´ll celebrate the "Street"-Day of Paddy!

Hope, my comment will arrive you and wish you a nice weekend!
Greetings to Pauline! :)

Ha ha. I just read the comment from Katrin. I have to use Google to "translate" the British to American English. So now I know how much a "stone" is.

Your mug rug is adorable. I'm sure Joe will be thrilled with the journal and his special surprise present. Spending your life with someone you love is a gift everyday, but it's always special to have a present to remind you.

What a lovely mug rug Micki!

Clara said...

Congrats on the anniversary, Micki, I'm sure Joe will appreciate your journal. My husband and I too we are turning vegetarian, it's a little bit harder for the children, but we've started the process. And not because they love eating meat, but because I'm studying all the alternatives, such as legumes etc..., to meat to maintain the nutritional value. Take care, Clara.
P.S.: you're right : the mug rugis so nice and patriotic!
