Make it Pretty Monday - Week 37

Hello World!  Guess what?  My rug came in that I ordered from Ballard Designs.  It wasn't scheduled to ship until mid-March.  So, you know I was completely surprised when voilà there she was in the delivery man's hands.  This weekend I have spent a good portion of time shooing the cats off of it.  The Dedicated Husband said we should get one of those little dog fences to put around it.  He makes fun of me so much of the time.  Don't you feel bad for me?  Well, don't, I've got a pretty thick skin.  It's a small rug, so I even roll it up at night so the cats won't go in and try to claim it as their territory.  Silly rug lady.  Oh, and I got a bee in my bonnet and redesigned my blog.  What do you think?  Love it?  I hope so. 

Enough about me.  You people completely amazed me last week!  Seriously, do you people sleep?  The projects you can get done make my silly head spin.  Are you ready to see some features?  Welcome to Week 37 of:
