Happy mushy gushy lovey dovey day!

    My oh so lovely man this morning went down the road and over yonder to a lil hole in the wall food joint called simply southern and got us breakfast <3 aint a better way to my heart then a big ol pile of biscuits and gravy! Since he is a tattoo artist he goes into work at 12 and stays late so we knew we couldnt have valentines dinner so instead we had an at home valentines breakfast with our weeeee lil one <3

  He was also nice enough to run to the store this morning and get me another toothbrush since I had used mine to paint the fridge... and also picked me up a rose while he was there, first time hes ever bought me flowers or uh flower. Its cute I love it.

 For my sweet sweet man I made him this big ol' collage of awsomeness <3 

  We might give eachother so much hell day in and day out but damnnit we are perfect for eachother. I love that man so much and would be lost with out him. Its so great having someone in my life who we can both feed off of eachothers creative energy. I love him.

I decided since it WAS valentines day that my lil love bug deserved some chocolate.


    Kaliebs grandmother (nana) is watching the Gypsi for me tommorow so I will completing orders and working on new things! so be on the look out for a shop update tommorow. I have alot of new fabric thats just waitin for some lovin. I'm also in the process of getting new photos of everything done maybe I can get to that complete also.


   I hope everyone is having an awsome valentines day!
 wether you are single or not there has to be someone or something on this earth you love. 

My day in pictures

Enjoyed mocha coffee from my new adorable thrifted mug<3

Added more birds to my bird wall

Painted my fridge seafoam green

This was not planned one bit so neither were supplies

Spent some much needed time with throttle in the windy cold weather

Kalieb didn't open the shop today to spend time with me, 

but parts for his bike came in so that went out the window haha.

I got in new fabric today today tho <3

Kalieb traded his truck for this 71 bug.

Now im spending a normal night with the hooligans <3

Sunday Funday.....

I spent a good hour today on the internet looking into parts and what not for the caddy. I won't have the car in my yard till next week because its about an hour away we are having the person deliver it to us buuut because its not in my yard I cant check out the door jam to see what model it is besides knowing its a 1960 and comparing pictures with the picture from my cellphone. I do believe its a 62 series... but not positive.

Kaileb is trading his truck for a 71 bug... hes excited... I havent gotten use to this foreign car gig yet.

OKAY NURSES!!!! I have a question for you!!!!! 

I think that my incision is infected but when I went to the dr. the nurse said it looked nasty but only the dr could tell me if it was infected or not and the dr. said no that it wasnt infected. SO I need opinions on this one because I trust a nurse over a doctor. It been bleeding alot lately and it use to never bleed heres a picture below of day 2 after surgery and day 10 after surgery.

So opinions? is this normal that it looks/feels worst the more it heals? I tried to google and didnt find much.

The other day  the Gypsi and I watched the brave lil toaster and sat in the recliner together and ate lunch <3

Even tho I already have a sewing machine tattoed on me, I would looove to have the sewing machine from that movie tattooed on me!! its so awsome... and pink...

and I forgot to post this picture from the other day when I actually put on real clothes and make up, even tho all I did was work in the work room it still just felt good to not be in sweatpants... and you can't even see my incision in this picture which makes it that much better.

Last but not LEAST I finished another new skirt, more SUGAR SKULLS!! I also have this fabric in white.

Nighty Night Ya'll!

theeeee one and only, Hellcat Mama!

 I always get all my energy at night to work on things

As you can see I have my hands full tonight! as well as the couch in my work room, this is a lil strategy I call "you can't sit down on this comfy couch because it is covered in fabric you must make purdy skirts out of!"

 Now have Star Wars skirts back in stock

Can be found HERE

I also added a new skirt road trip attractions! super duper adorable!

Can be found HERE

I have a lil assembly line of hemming going on right now so i'm hoping to be adding a lot of new stuff to the shop ASAP because once that caddy is in my yard I know I will be neglecting 

the shit out of my sewing machine. <3

Relined and refoamed Tuckers helmet the other night, thankfully my wonderful man thinks he needs a new lid for every day of the week so I have some more I can work on for fun
but I'm doing reline and refoam for 40 buckaroos

Cars and Cancer! WOO fuckin HOO!

   I'm probably just cocky but I tottaly walked into that doctors appointment today with a big head knowing that nothing was wrong and it was stupid that we had to drive another 45 minutes when they could've just called me. First off my neck is not infected its just nowhere close to being healed yet, Second off all the nerve damage isnt bad like the not being able to open my mouth very wide and the movement/numbness of the right side of my neck. Third off when the Dr. walks in and tell you something looks "funky" and "just isnt good" then you know your not about to walk outta that office with a smile. Today I thought I would be getting the all clear no cancer but instead was informed that my lil organ of mine was being sent off to a facility that specializes in Hodgkins Lymphoma which is cancer of the lymphoids. I won't know if this is what I have till Feb. 27th but he did say that if this is what I have then theres a very very VERY big HUGE chance that it can be cured because of how early it was found. I was not thrilled tho when he started talking about cutting me open to take another one of these lil lymphnoids from be specially seeing as how this last surgery hasnt gone very well for me. I only have 2 sides to my face! I dont need the other one fucked up! no... really I dont care it adds character
heres a link about this wierd lil cancer here if anyones interested in reading it
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001606/

I do not get sick. Literally do not get colds or anything like this. So right now I have just been in alot of pain and really REALLY tired so im not a happy camper with anything right now. In the back of my head i'm like whatever I dont have a cancer i'm a rowdy lil healthy girl, but then somewhere in my there is a pit in my throat because I am experiencing everything single symptom listed. Never shouldve googled!!!!


HAPPY HAPPY PRETTYNESS
So right now as many of ya'll might now the Impala is getting/ in the process of being sold, we really racked up on bills and really needed a quick sell to help buy for things so we figured we would sell the impala then take a lil money from it buy me another car (the impala is my daily this I would HAVE to buy something else) but I put alot of work in this car yada yada yada so  I figured well i'll sell it for the chunk of change its worth and then take a lil and buy me a lil beater truck or somin.
well the car kulture gods were looking out for me today and they said themselves." WHAT!!!!????? Kitti cannot drive something boring this CANNOT happen! we cannot let medical bills spoil her fun! lets throw a really awsome SOLID car that runs and drive in her lap and let the price be STUPIDLY LOW."

She needs a lil love and a whole lotta scrubba dub dub 10$ here 20$ there and a lil brake work (this big ol' beast needs to stop right) but shes a beauty and solid solid solid SOLID.

Whats even more incredible is I had a BADASS painter sleep on my couch who I also fed..... who owes me a lil favor for me being such a kind hostess to him. Black with pink roof and pink scallops following the body line. It is not gonna be fun sanding this boat tho, I am hoping that the boys will help me out and we can take turns sanding :D they dont know this yet tho hehehe but I can bribe them to do alot with a good plate of my cookin and a case of beer. eventually I would like to just drop a small or big block in it because caddys arent cheap to work on hoping to find one at some shows or meets this summer.

Heres a picture of my 1966 impala i'm selling

and heres the link you can go to if your interested in buying it all the info on it.
1966 impala (Calhoun,GA) $3500

Of course as soon as I got home I googled the shit out of Cadillacs
Here are some killer photos I pulled up

Slap Worn Out!

  Today I woke up thinking I felt super duper awsome and was convinced that I was 100% healed so I decided to load me and the Gypsi up and head to Cartersville to do some thrift shoppin and pick up some supplies for the tattoo shop. I had suuuch an awsome day with her she is suuuuch a good kid then we got to enjoy lunch with Kalieb well we ate lunch in the back of the tattoo shop haha.

We are broker then broke right now because of my surgery so 

I gave myself a 10$ limit I would say I did AWSOME.

Received my goodies from Fecal Friends!!! They are the SHIT! hehe thank you Kim!!!

I always welcome barters! It never hurts to ask!

After many many requests I now have toddler skirts size 12month to 4t!

I now also have ADORABLE tattoo flash skirts!

So I tottaly over did it today and now feel horrible I also cracked my cut and started to bleed again ugh so I am back sitting in the recliner in pain waiting for kalieb to come home so I can take my pain meds. 

 AFTER my drs appointment friday we are going to go peep at a 1960 caddy ive had my eye on. Hopefully gettin the impala sold this weekend so I can start on a new project! I've just polished the impala enough and did alot to it and just want somin new to tinker with I kinda just wanna re-do 2012 over and start all fresh.

It needs some work and has been sittin a year but I do believe I'm the right gal to give it all the lovin' and carin' it deserves <3 *fingers crossed*

yay for drugs!

 So heres a lil update for all ya'll that have been following this lil journey of this wonderful mass that has invaded my neck for the past year, and also I figured since this is my blog business and personal this is something to add to a chapter of my life. A year ago or so I started noticing that every time I ate or seen something super delicious (that made me drooooool) that I would get this pressure in the side of my neck as the months went on a lump formed, at first the lump would only show when I ate or saw something YUMMY it eventually got really painful because of the pressure of this lump growing and then one day it just kinda stuck out and never went back down (that was 7 months ago) a week before my boyfriend was fired from his job after telling his boss we were going to move back closer to his family in georgia. We found out it was a tumor of some sorts (after many x-rays, ultrasounds and catscans) when we moved to georgia got settled in we had a tragic death in the family that pushed all this tumor/mass mess to the back of my head and it was the last thing I was worried about. It started to get more and more painful so I decided to suck it up and find a dr. well sure enough the mass had grown.

(white blob on left side is the tumor)

blah blah blah blah blah had surgery scheduled had a panic attack in the prep room had to get drugged 

(oh my god I love valium)

so this is post- op neck wrapped with a tube in my neck to help drain all the icky blood and junk

hurts like hell its all good tho when I have my AWSOME drugs, hurts to eat really bad because they took the gland out that produces saliva so I have alot of pressure in my neck when I eat from that gland still trying to provide saliva not to mention how horribly dry my mouth is right. I also had a breathing tube down my throat which messed up my throat so I have no voice. I really really wanna be sewing right now but literally cannot move my neck or hardly breath for that matter because the inside and outside of my neck is soo swollen.

 ta-da I finally got to take my bandage off 

WARNING NASTY PICTURE!

When someone asks about this scar I plan on telling them that I got into a knife fight with a grizzly bear because i'm tough like that.

Friday at 10am we find out if it is cancer or not.

READY FOR HAPPY HELLCAT MAMA RELATED STUFF???? yeah me too.

one of my new faves <3 

and heres a picture i took 2 days before my surgery :) when the oh so wonderful dave and toni came and visited us! they are donating a % of money coming from there tattoo shop to help with our outrageous medical bills we've had. so very thankful for all the friends and family that have stepped up to help me out SO SO SO MUCH <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I miss my lil baby Gypsi Rose and I miss my sewing machine. I'm ready to be able to eat, breath and move my neck again and to get off of this recliner!!!
