RAIN!

WOW!, what is this stuff? Why is it falling on my head? Hey I am getting wet. Oh I like this. Lets see if I can catch it. These are the thoughts I am sure that ran through my puppies head as she encountered rain for the first time.


The Puppy encountered the rain for the first time. She had so much fun playing in the rain I had a hard time getting her back inside so I could go to work.



She ran all over the yard trying to catch the rain.

New Use for Bull Dog Clips

A co-worker French braided my hair at work this summer. I don’t know how to French braid so I let her put it up for me. The braid on my neck was bugging me so she too bull dog clips to pin it up.

6 months old now

The puppy reached 6 months of age. She now weighs 50 lbs. Her fur color is changing. All her black fur is changing to Brown tipped. It is really kind of pretty. She still has the black on her face, “mask” that is common in Akitas.




She is just a big (and still growing) happy, healthy, goofy puppy. I am so glad I got her. I absolutely adore her.

FRAMED

Finally got some pictures and some cross stitch pieces framed. I got both of my Stitch Specialist pieces by Abi Gruden framed.




The Great Escape



Tree of Stitches



I also framed a ton of pictures I had waiting for frames, mostly pictures of the puppy. My co-worker was upgrading her frames and gave me her old frames, which upgraded my frames as well.

Owl and the Pussycat update

I have actually gotten some work done on Owl and the Pussycat this week. I admit I have not stitched on it probably for several months; I have been working on other things or just not stitching at all. Some of the time it was just not possible to stitch with a new and young puppy trying to eat everything. She has mellowed and has learned to lay in my lap when I am stitching instead of trying to eat the stitching.





You can see what I got done yesterday and last weekend. I have completed page one of the pattern now. I think I have like 10 more pages or something like that still to go.



I am going to have to go and buy some more DMC threads, I have already gone through a couple of brand new skeins of thread on page one alone. I think I am going to need a lot more thread.

This is Heave and Earth Designs Owl and the Pussycat.

Last update was Feb 2013, A little bit of everything post.
