Jul, 12Thursday Randoms
I hope you had a wonderful and safe 4th or July! Ron and I hopped around and visited friends and family and ended up back home to watch the fireworks from our backyard. We have the absolute best view with no crowds. Colorado put bans on personal fireworks this year and canceled a lot of the city fireworks due to the fires we’ve had recently. So, we were lucky to still have our city’s display.
I’ve also been busy prepping for the Summer Horseshoe Market, as well as working on a few {diy} projects that I’ll be sharing soon. Oh! Don’t forget that there is FREE SHIPPING on all Roblin Tees now through July 14th! Then this Sunday I’ll be sharing my newest weekly feature, {sunday best}, where I’ll share my Sunday Best Outfit with you. I’m very excited about this new feature for many reasons; one of the biggest being because you requested to see more of my outfits, and this is what I came up with!
I had better get back to work, but stay cool and remember not to leave your pets in a hot car, as inside temperatures can reach deadly numbers!!! If you see someone doing so, call the police and tell them right away. ♥r

Jul, 12Sharing
Ello! So, over the past couple of months, I’ve had several of you ask for me to share more about myself. I have to apologize, because at first I thought I was sharing lots about myself, but at a second glance I realized that I wasn’t sharing as much as I really wanted to. I mean, I share what I do and what I like, but not much about myself (photos, stories, adventures, etc.). A few of you have asked for me to share some of my outfits, as well. I’ve been told that you’ve seen glimpses of them, but you’d like to see more. That sounds fun to me! So, I’ve decided to start a {sunday best} post which will share just that, my Sunday Best outfit with you. It’ll be a weekly feature every Sunday sharing one of my outfits, starting this Sunday.
I’ve also been asked to share more about my creative process. So, I’ll be sure to share more peeks into projects that I’m working on and things like that. I love this idea, and thank you for helping me realize that I fell into a bit of a rut where I thought I was doing one thing, but really doing another. You all are so great and I thank you for your continued support in Chickiedee. ♥rl

Jun, 12Parody of a Cover of Gotye
These are too good and too funny not to share! I love Gotye’s hit song “Someone I Used To Know” so naturally I would love these!
This is the Cover version by Walk Off The Earth. It’s amazing how they all play the same instrument at the same time! Such talented voices too!
These guys are so talented too, and oh so funny! I’m still laughing… hahahaha!

Jun, 12a mother + daughter outing
Holy cow! I just found this cute little post in my “drafts” folder!!! Sheesh! Well, the photos are fun and the day was magical, so enjoy…
Saturday, April 21st, my mom and I went to the 2nd annual Firefly Handmade Market in beautiful Boulder, CO. This craft fair was so sweet and magical, because it was set up at the base of the Flatiron Mountains in the Chautauqua Community House. There were about 60+ handmade vendors there all sharing what they do best, and it was nice to be a customer for a day. In addition to the lovely creatives and their crafts, they also had a photo booth, which as you can see, we spent a lot of time in… haha!
Oh, and we did end the day with some light shopping in Boulder and coffee. Perfect!
Spending the day up there with my momma was a lot of fun, now we have to get back to work and prep for our two upcoming craft shows! Yikes! One in May (past), and one in July. I hope you enjoyed peeking at our photos. Have a great day! ♥RobbieLee

Jun, 12let the fur fly
Oh boy has it been hot here in Colorado! I can’t imagine what it must be like to have fur. This year we decided to shave our Heeler-pups, but were told by the groomers that they highly recommend NOT shaving Blue Heelers (and some other breeds, so ask your groomers), because there is a 50% chance that their hair will NEVER grow back!!! I’ve never heard such crazy talk. We were also told that if their hair does grow back, it won’t be the same as before and they can get alopecia. Yikes! Who knew a shave could be so risky. I didn’t believe it at first, but the Mr. Googled it and what she said was confirmed. So, we decided not to shave them and we went the de-shedding route. They look the same, but when I saw how much hair they pulled from their under-coat, I was more convinced that they’d be cool for the summer. It’s just so hot for them right now. Then, with our outrageously cold winters here, I didn’t want to risk them being bald forever, so I think we made the right choice. In the end, they got a bath, blow dry, ear and eye wash, nail trim, de-shedding brush-out and bows. They are shiny and new. How about your pets, do they get any special summer groom?

Jun, 12staying on track
Yesterday was a rough day, but my hubby and mom managed to talk me through it. They both know me so well and always know what to say. My mom sent me home with a fresh avocado and lime salad to snack on and the hubby surprised me with an impromptu date-night. I’m truly blessed. I’m surrounded by sweet people who care about me and what I’m doing. I was reminded of this last night and I feel back on track this morning.
I have a lot to do and a lot to keep me busy this week. I have so many lovely new products in my idea book, just waiting to be made, but first I have to finish a few custom and freelance pieces. I’ll keep you updated and I hope that you can take a moment today to think of what/who you are thankful for. ♥rl

May, 12busy week…
I have quite the busy week ahead of me with dog training, coffee dates, crafting, photo class, cooking class, girl nights and going to watch the Mr. play football. Plus, I have to squeeze in cleaning and grocery shopping. Sheesh, sometimes I feel that there is not enough time in a week. I’ll get it all done though! How about you, what do you have planned this week? ♥rl
