Cutie Pie

This is my little cutie pie, Tarcil!  I love him so much!  Today is an early morning of meetings at church, and it always makes me so happy to see Tarcil!  :)

Music Box Piano

My little Tarcil was playing on this piano that is actually a music box.  It was the perfect size for him.  He really seemed to like it!  :)

Cuddles with Tigger

My husband didn't have to work today, so it turned into a bit of a lazy day.  There is nothing better than cuddling in bed with those you love!!  :)

This adorable stuffed animal was made by Vicci from Vicci's Little Critters!  You can find more of her wonderful work at www.viccislittlecritters.com and buy it at www.viccislittlecritters.etsy.com.

Cuddle buddies!!  :)

In Penny's Basket

This is the basket that I keep at my desk while I work to help contain my cat, Penny.  Without the basket, she walks around the desk rubbing my hands while I type and knocks things off to get my attention.  With the basket, she climbs in and lets me pet her at my discretion until she finally gives in and just goes to sleep.  So needless to say, the basket is a must if I plan on actually getting any work done at my desk.  I realized it serves a second purpose of containing an adventurous hamster while I work (obviously only if Penny is sleeping elsewhere).  Clearly this basket keeps me sane and productive.  :)

Working at my Desk

Tarcil decided that today he wanted to help me with my work while I was at my desk.  I let him stay with me for a while, but then I realized he was too distracting, and I wasn't actually working... haha.  :)

My Purse

Tarcil loves being with me!  He thought he could sneak into my purse to go with me, but he has to stay home where it's warm.  It's a big, cold world out there for such a little guy, even if he is fluffy.  :)

My Tote Bag

This adorable tote with veggies embroidered on it was made by my amazingly talented cousin, Aimee Ray!  She is a wonderful artist and has quite a few published books!  She gave this to me as a wedding present, and I have been using it to organize and transport my papers back and forth from home to my church where I work part time.  Tarcil apparently wants to come with me to work today.  :)

You can check out Aimee's artwork at aimeeray.com, follow her blog at www.littledeartracks.blogspot.com , and buy original art at www.littledear.etsy.com.  This particular pattern on the tote came from her book: Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection which can be found on Amazon.  You really should check out her stuff... it's amazing and adorable!  :)
