Beautiful Things

It's really strange how the weather can change from summer to fall all in one day.  Last Sunday it was still rather warm and this Sunday I am running the heat to keep it warm inside.  Definitely moving into the dark side of the year.  Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing though as it gives us a time to rest and reflect.  For me as soon as I find out about this surgery, it will give me time to work on more jewelry.

• I was able to attend a birthday party/potluck over a friend's home last Sunday.  Had a really great time especially as I was able to connect up with folks that I haven't had a chance to see in forever.
• I have a flat top stove and Chloe managed to walk across a hot burner last night right after I had taken off a pot of pasta.  I immediately put some ice on her paw and gave her a pain reliever.   Luckily the burn wasn't bad enough to blister up.  I feel sorry for her but I really hope that this teaches her not to walk on the stove anymore.
• I won a beautiful necklace from Alicia at All the Pretty Things!  She has a great blog that I enjoy reading and I just love the look of the necklace.  I will be sure to take a pic when it arrives so that I can share it with everyone.
