Soupy Sunday ....

Almost 5 PM, and I haven't put on this weeks soup. I'ma try a different one this week, potato & turnip. We'll see how that turns out.

This is my last custom order for 2012. I really love how it turned out. This fabric being incredibly adorable definitely helped.

Other than that, lazy Sunday here at WB HQ. Discovery ID, plenty of sewing, listing, picture-taking & soup making. The annual holiday sale has been extended until Saturday the 15th. 

Then There's This ...

Tuesday is also league night. Got there last night to find this. I am so stoked! And, somehow I'm top gun in both 8 ball & 9 ball. Huzzah!

Now, back to the huge pile of sewing in front of me.                    

On the Third Day of Christmas ...

Last night was our pool teams league night. As it turned out, the team we were supposed to shoot pulled a no-show. As we were the only folks in the joint at that time, we decided to have a little mini-tourney. It's not an entirely common event that we're all together, with no-one else waiting on the table, so we decided to make it count. 

In the background, you can see the t.v. on. We were watching Layover, which I was actually on! My phone blew up like crazy, as everybody was telling me they saw my ass on t.v.! I didn't think they were filming me, just my friends and/or patrons, dancing behind the bar. If my team-mate (and resident Friday DJ) didn't play such great tunes during happy hour, I wouldn't be forced to shake my ass.

The episode was really enjoyable, as there were more than a few ppl that I know, along with places that I frequent or have worked at. Not to mention, my absolute hands down favorite PHO was featured.

Back to work for Miss Waffles. Been up for hours, packaged 12+ orders already. Back to filling orders, getting help from the lads, enjoying this gorgeous day and listing new items.

(And ... I won our tourney. My prize was a shot of Johnny Red, a 40 of Bud & the title "King of Colanzis". Fitting, as our team is Bloodweiser.)

I can't believe it's almost December again! Things here at WB HQ have been frantic & frenzied for weeks.

I meant to post this last Thursday, but between working the craziness that is Thanksgiving Eve, 7 hours of sewing non-stop the following day, dinner, more sewing & even more work, followed by more sewing, didn't get a chance.

This is one of the things I was most grateful for here at HQ. An uninterrupted block of peace and quiet! No breaking up fights, no shooing lads off the fabric, no using mom as a scratching post.

The annual sale is slated to start on Saturday, December 1. Limited edition gift items will be listed starting Monday, December 3. (The link WILL NOT work until next Monday)

Back to work for me!

Since we here in Hostile City were pretty much spared the damage that most of the NE suffered, I started a  Sandy Relief section in my shop. I am going to leave these items up until every last one of them is gone. I will continue to add new items as the original ones sell until at least December 31, 2012. I would ideally like to reach a minimum donation of $250 by years end.

Or you can click here, for other ways to help the relief effort.

Also, a Happy Birthday to friends who have since passed on. You are missed.

Update from HQ

We were incredibly lucky to be spared all the destruction that hit NY, NJ an CT. My heart goes out to all the folks who were hit so hard by Sandy.

Frankenstorm!!!

This is the view from my stoop, 5:45 PM. Sandy is due to hit within minutes. 

This lovely tree is in front of my neighbors house. I'm hoping it remains intact. 

Wind is picking up & the lads are sound asleep. I thought animals were supposed to be sensitive to natural disasters?!?

Since Sandy is due to hit about NOW, there is a FRANKENSTORM sale in the shop, running til 12 AM Wednesday morning.

News said Sandy has just hit Atlantic City, just as I've been typing this. Stay safe & stay dry.
