Well I have been super busy being pregnant, but have so many fun things planned for the future. I just hit less than 100 days til baby girl is due, so as I get to things until then, I will get to things! I have lots of plans for some high end velvet stuff. mmm velvet.

I will be making this blog much more snazzy for promotional jewelry giveaways and contests, which will be exciting. And I have an earring sale going on right now, buy one get one free! Check the earrings section of Lula's Boutique. I will be listing more styles soon also. This sale will probably go on for a while as I am on slow speed right now in the dog heat of summer too.

Hope everyone has had a great summer as it is coming to an end the next month. Hopefully we will get through this peak of hurricane season without any big storms also. So far so good! ::crossing fingers::

xoxo everyone!

I am pregnant

noreply@blogger.com (Monique) — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:17:00 +0000

I have been a total slacker when it comes to blogging, but I have a good excuse, I'm pregnant! You can find my latest ramblings in my pregnancy journal. :)

So I will be updating this site again soon, as I have been down and out with pregnancy nausea and just getting my groove back. Life is good.

Cheers everyone!

Waking up with a song in my head, Soundgarden

noreply@blogger.com (Monique) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:20:00 +0000

I often have a song stuck in my head in the early morning. How, why, I have no idea. I think it has to do with my mood, and here is what I was singing in my head this morning.

hey, it seems like youtube isn't being as cool with the embedding anymore, so here is the link...

Soundgarden, Burden in my Hand

Follow me into the desert
As thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol
cause down below the truth is lying
Beneath the riverbed
So quench yourself and drink the water
That flows below her head

Oh no there she goes
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine

I shot my love today would you cry for me
I lost my head again would you lie for me
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again would you cry for me

Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
cause fear is strong and loves for everyone
Who isnt me
So kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost
Just a burden in my hand
Just an anchor on my heart
Just a tumor in my head
And Im in the dark

So follow me into the desert
As desperate as you are
Where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven
And all the little pigs have god

Think Pink Treasury

noreply@blogger.com (Monique) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 02:00:00 +0000

Earlier today I noticed the Treasury section of etsy looked like it might open up tonight so I could create my own treasury. I have tried for months now and it is always full. The Treasury is where you present a themed selection of etsy items from other seller's shops. Its really cool and I am so excited I created my first one. :)

Think Pink! here is a screen shot of the my pink treasury which has now expired...

Today we went to New Orleans and strolled along Magazine street, then we went to the Freret market. I had a great time and brought home two young tomato plants and a huge amount of fresh, organic dill. Delicious. I will have pictures tomorrow!

Don't forget to set your clocks forward one hour this weekend. and Think Pink...

Dogs who Sleepwalk

noreply@blogger.com (Monique) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:08:00 +0000

If you are a pet lover, you've probably seen your little buddy passed out sleeping and dreaming. Their little faces wiggle, their legs move, and you can tell they are dreaming. My dogs occasionally slightly bark in their sleep, or grumble. It is so cute.

Here is a video of a dog who is lying on his side sleeping, breaks into a full gallop, then gets up and runs straight into the wall and wakes up. Poor guy! But the dog is okay and the video makes us laugh.

Errands in Westwego

noreply@blogger.com (Monique) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 17:18:00 +0000

Yesterday we had to run some odd errands in Westwego, and I had my camera as usual.

Being from California this place has become my home and more familiar to me in the last three years, however there are always sights that I see that will always make me look. It is such a different place down here than the concrete jungles of Los Angeles. I do enjoy the beautiful blue skies and lush greenery of South Louisiana though. I don't miss the smog, that's for sure. So I really enjoy snapping pics, especially in the nice weather we have been having.

couple of pics:

Introduction to Monique7500

noreply@blogger.com (Monique) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:24:00 +0000

Hello and welcome to my latest blog. I am a chick webmaster who lives in the south of Louisiana with her husband and two miniature pinschers. My husband and I both run lots of websites, and get to work from home and have a great time. I also do lots of crafting, design jewelry, dye and print on velvet, run tons of blogs, and love to be creative. This is going to be my best and most personal blog site yet. I plan on doing many new things in the future with this personal pet project, and hope to venture into video very soon.

Check back soon for lots of pictures of New Orleans, my garden, my etsy store items and lots more useless things. :)
