Yesterday was my “day off” I was supposed to do nothing but clean and decompress. the day itself was great very low key good cooking for a good lunch and some quality outdoors time after some desperately needed house cleaning. I even made two little coffe cup sleeves so I dont have to keep getting those paper ones, I always tell myslef that I will save them and reuse them next time but they got ruined in my bag or I just plain forget. so now I am in business with my very own totally reusable and cute cup sleeve. to make this all I did was use one of those cardboard ones as a template, cute out, add in some fusible interfacing, sew it up turn it right side out and put the ends together. viola a wonderful reusable cute coffee cup sleeve. YAY!
so after this wonderful day we had a crazy storm. from what I understand the entire city of Savannah was without power for about 9 hours… driving home was very surreal. Zack and I had a blast sitting on the porch swing and lounging in the house in candle light. I think that these times are great it forces you to just sit in your head and basically meditate.

this little thing doesnt typicaly look scary but last night with the fire reflecting on him he was a bit frightening
Thinking about the coffee cup sleeves…when I was making pot holders I bought this stuff that is heat-resistant. It’s about the weight of interface and easily sewn in. If you find that the sleeves are still not heat-resistant enough for those times that they make you some scalding hot coffee, maybe try that stuff. I can’t remember what it’s officially called, but when I asked the girl at the cutting table at Joann’s she knew exactly what I was talking about.
I just wanted to tell you that your the coolest person ever… thats all!
