Moe the Beautiful Mountain Corgi ~ A New Angel adored with Wings of Fairies

Today is a day to honor our dearest Corgi Cousin Moe who taught us so much about LOVE, Laughter, JOY & Loyalty.

Mark & Melly had to say goodbye to their sweet Moe Moe this weekend.

He is now romping in his mountain meadows that are cascading with wild raspberries and wild flowers ~ Over The Rainbow ~ with Angel Emmitt who adores him.

They are celebrating their lives & continued journeys together and with us as they have never left our sides.

To see, feel, and hear them, all we have to do is just close our eyes and look for the best feeling thought we can find. 

Moe was a true gift to our family.

He was an amazing soul who always made us laugh and taught us what true LOVE and LOYALTY means with a heart as big as his Corgi Smile.

When I close my eyes I see he is busy finding Melly and Mark a puppy that will soon be found and welcomed into their lives.

He will guide the new puppy and will ride on his back as he runs and jumps through the mountain meadows with Melly & Mark.

We love you Moe Moe!

Thank you for all of your LOVE!

We LOVE you with all of our hearts forever.

Friday Funnies ~ All Suited Up & Ready for the Super Bowl!

Happy Friday Everyone!

I am so excited for the Super Bowl that I am practicing my moves on the field all weekend to get in shape for Feb 2nd!

Phew!

This training thing is hard work!

Oooooo!

I think I hear the dinner bell ringing!

Time to come in and eat dinner and watch some TV!

I am not supposed to watch too much TV but I am watching for FUN Super Bowl commercials to start playing like this one that our friends from VA sent us!

Look!

He is wearing a Woofie Warmer neck warmer!

My momma did not make this one for them, but it looks like they were inspired by her original dog sweater vest and Woofie Warmer designs to create this one for the ad!

What a huge compliment if this is true!

How cool is that? :)

Would you like to come over for dinner now that practice is over?

Everyone is welcome!

I have made enough food to feed a stadium full of fuzzy fans!

A few friends have already arrived!

We are all suited up and ready to relax, ummm... I mean train!

See... my play book reads just like this...

1.  Workout out our faces by eating everything we can as fast as we can :)

2.  Grab a cozy Pug Notes sweater vest , neck warmer or  dog hat and curl up to enjoy the Pro Bowl just for practice for the big day!

No need to even ring the door bell!

Come on in!

The door is wide open!

I cannot wait to see you!

New Hooks & Hideaways!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am so excited to show you two new things I treated myself to this week!

One is for making art and the second is for enjoying and celebrating it!

My 2 favorite things to do! :)

I just purchased a set of these wonderful Japanese Hamanaka crochet hooks from www.stitchdiva.com. 

I love the double ended design and feel of the hooks in my hand.

It makes them great for travel as well as efficient storage as you get 10 sizes to work with in only 5 hooks!

I have found over the years that it is really important to work with a hook personally before deciding if you really like them as we all have different sized hands and preferences for hook shape, weight and feel!

For me, I found these to be unique because they provide a comfort grip that I have never found in a hook that was not too big to comfortably fit in my hand.

There are 5 double-ended hooks (a total of 10 hooks of graduated sizes) from Japanese sizes 2/0 to 10/0 or 2.0mm to 6.0mm.

• 2/0 - 2.0mm
• 3/0 - 2.3mm
• 4/0 - 2.5mm
• 5/0 - 3.0mm
• 6/0 - 3.5mm (F)
• 7/0 - 4.0mm (G)
• 7.5/0 - 4.5mm
• 8/0 - 5.0mm (H)
• 9/0 - 5.5mm (I)
• 10/0 - 6.0mm (J)

The second gift I gave myself was the purchase of this magical painting my dear friend Mehry Khosravi just completed.

I knew I must have it the second I saw it and luckily for me, it was still available.

She is trying to create a series of these smaller paintings to fill up a wall but they keep selling before the paint even dries!

This one is still too wet to touch, but she will let me know the second I can come and pick it up!

I cannot wait!

I know just where I am going to hang it!

It is going to hang in my kitchen where I will see it all day long!

What a fabulous week we have had so far and it is not even 1/2 over yet!

I cannot wait to see what else unfolds for us to appreciate!

What FUN things have unfolded before your eyes recently?

Please leave us a note and let us know!

We cannot wait to hear all about them!
