Updated Etsy!

What is the deal with cats and computers?
Every time I sit down to do anything at the desktop, there's a cat rubbing up against the screen or trying to nap on the keyboard, and I swear they have something equal to the transporter on Star Trek because they always seem to materialize out of thin air.
That's all I have to say about cats.

I spent my morning yesterday finishing up all the Etsy listings, and let me tell you, that's no small job.
It's always surprising to me and somehow I always forget how much effort goes into these listings. from the time it takes to make whatever it is you're making, taking the photos, telling the story and writing a description, you can get pretty lost in space (another intergalactic reference, I'm on a roll).
But anyway, it's done.

I hooked up another rug over the weekend, made two batches of soap, stitched up a pile of dishcloths and a handful of teeny weeny preemy beenies, so I have a little bit of selection in the virtual storefront.

I'm really digging rectangle rugs right now. 

I've always done round, but I'm liking the look of these, and you know what they say, it's hip to be square. 

Or almost square.

I also had a few bars of my orange chamomile soap left and it is w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l.
The chamomile is from here on the farm and paired with the orange oil... Amazing.

I made a tri tip in the crock pot yesterday and I really wish I hadn't.

I didn't care for it. At all.

Kind of like the quinoa.

I feel like Pinterest really misled me on this one, because when I talked to my sister about it she let out a heavy sigh and told me that it's against the rules to cook a tri tip in the crock pot.

Live and learn.

Let's talk some more about Pinterest.

Last night I discovered the reason behind my lingering obesity, and it's ALL Pinterests fault.

I had recipes pinned that had so much butter and sugar they should be probably be illegal.

Cookies, cakes, candies, custards, coffees and canned soup recipes.

I kid you not, I think I gained weight just cleaning out my Deelish board.

I'm still losing weight.

Two juices or smoothies a day and a protein for dinner.

No added sugars and no wheat.

No coffee.

I feel like a lot of my puffiness is gone, but I also feel like I'm 5'9 and weigh 137 pounds, so in all reality I'm still probably pretty puffy.

Around my middle. And my ankles. And my thighs. And my butt.

Mostly my butt.

Peas.
