Look Who is Coming to Dinner...

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Look at this amazing shot of a fox at our front door!

Our little security camera emailed it to Fred last night.

It seems he heard about Emmitt's mini-meatloaves and had to try them!

Fire up the Grill and pass the ketchup!

Have a safe and wonderful day!

Emmitt and Me :)

Happy Friday everyone!

I wanted to show you these fun pictures Fred took of Emmitt and me in our matching sweaters!

Here is our family shot. Notice how Fred does not have a sweater?

He looks very happy about it! LOL! :)

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family!

We are just going to stay home this Memorial Day weekend and relax.

I am sure I will find Fred and Emmitt at the BBQ and hanging out in the backyard.

What do you have planned for the holiday?

Please leave us a comment and let us know. We would love to hear all about it!

New Pug Art for my Collection!

Happy Wednesday!

I have been having so much fun this month traveling and finding new pug art to add to my ever growing and never complete collection!

While in Seattle, San Diego and shopping online, I have found the coolest things and had to show you!


I found the Pug-nacious Pugs, little pug elf and kissing salt and pepper shakers in Pike Place Market!



I found this wonderful pug print by Marc Tetro at Warwick's in San Diego!

and I got this beautiful stained glass pull at the Seattle Pug Party from, Fantasy in Glass.

I got these 3 new Fluff Pug Items online in the Fluff Shop!

I just love the new passport cover, luggage flag and change purse!

and last but not least, I just got these two wonderful magnets for my bulletin board from The Drowsy Shop on Etsy!

I love finding new pug art!

It always makes me so happy and reminds me of where I was when I found it!

What new pug items have you found lately?

Please leave us a comment and let us know so that I can come and see!

Sweater Vests for Kitties!

Hi everyone!

I am tickled pink that several friends who have kitties wanted to get them sweater vests to enjoy too!

Diane's kitty, Cooper, makes such a cute Bumble Bee!

Look, he is even rolling over in it!

How sweet! I can tell he is comfy!

and Paula's kitties, Bonsai and Chloe did not want the Puggies in their family to have all of the fun.

Don't they look cute in The Tie Dye Collection?

and here is Mandy Mae, all of 5 lbs in her new XS sweater vest!

Isn't she a doll baby?

Crocheted Owl Ball :)

Happy Monday everyone!

Look what I made this weekend!

It is a crocheted owl, and I just love how he turned out!

I bought the pattern for him Reeneegurumi on Etsy and had a "ball" making him!

Heeeee!

This is the bottom. :)

I used a size G hook with Lionbrand Yarn :

Body: Amazing: color ~ Arcadia
Head: Fisherman's Wool ~Oak Tweed
Eyes: Baby Alpaca ~ Natural

with acrylic yarn scraps for the bright accent colors.

Isn't he cute?

He was fun, fast and easy to make.

What indoor and outdoor projects have you been creating or have planned?

Please tell us... We cannot wait to hear all about them!

Happy Friday everyone!

Have you ever opened a package and got goosebumps?

The kind that bring a huge smile and happy tears to your eyes?

Well, I had one of those special moments last week when I received this amazing gift from our friends Heather, Pugsley and Lola.

We immediately framed it and hung it in my sewing room!

The colors and dots she chose are our favorite! How did she do that?

Friends are Magic I tell ya!


Thank you Heather!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
