there is a tornado! so i am blogging?

Right now I am sitting in the middle of a huge good ole fashioned Texas storm. Its pretty bad here, and I am thankful that Vince, Jonas and I are all at home together. We just grabbed the flashlights, and have our tornado hideout plan in place. Vince is on the phone with his parents- their house is in the direct path of a tornado. Check out the map!
Scary huh? Vince says dogs have a internal sense that lets them know before we do that something is wrong. He said just keep an eye on the dog- he will let us know if we need to take cover. Well he is asleep next to me right now. and actually we are pretty much out of the storm now. Note to self, check out the dog during a possible tornado.

In other news...

Today when I was out running errands, I went to Petco to get Jonas some supplies- and I feel like I just get a million dollar deal. Jonas has been shedding like crazy- I think he is losing his winter coat, even though it is Feb, and when he sheds, he SHEDS. He hopped up onto my bed last night, and left a little furry messy all over the place. I wanted to change the sheets, but it was late and sleep won out. A few days ago I took the heavy duty pet hair roller to him, and after 12 sheets that were covered and ridiculously hairy- I gave up. But today there was finally a breakthrough! I bought this little guy:

the love glove. And yes, it's really the name. Seriously! This little gem works wonders! I tried the furminator, and although I know some people swear by it- it didn't take more than 4 hairs off my sweet hairy puppy! Look at the awesome job the love glove did! It left a small animal! The best part is it is only $8.99 online! I paid $12.99 in the store, which seeing the online price makes me sad- but it is WELL worth the money!

While I was there I picked up a new nylabone too- these are a lifesaver. Jonas was one reluctant puppy in letting me take his picture. He was paranoid I was going to take it from him, which is kind of ironic since I bought it for him! Who am I to understand the puppy logic?

Finally, I have some exciting news to share! I'm making a T-shirt quilt! I have saved up all my Baylor shirts from years past. They have a million sweet memories attached, and I just cannot bear to part with them! I decided to make a t-shirt quilt out of all my great shirts, and I am so excited! I have been on the hunt for some great green and yellow fabric for the past few months, and I didn't see anything too grand. Nothing just screamed my name. That is not until Remy and I went to hobby lobby a few days ago! Inspiration hit and even though I have seen those same fabrics 100 times, I found the perfect answer to my quilt back delima! It is going to be a series of uneven stripes, and I couldn't be more happy! Here are the fabrics I chose:

I am wondering if I should add in this fabric?

I do love this awesome vintage-feel fabric by Heather Bailey- I spotted it on Purl Soho but does it work? I need to think it out for a bit. I can't wait to see the quilt all done!

Ok that's it! Its not even raining outside anymore! Storm avoided!
