happy birthday, roo

my daughter is 23 today. i feel old.

dog. on thursday

i'm working on ken's computer while mine takes a little break. i have so few pictures available to me here. but here's one, of sweet ginger, pretty fresh from the groomer, lounging on the couch with a diet coke. :)
i had a great picture of fatboy sunning himself but i figure i need to spread out the doggie love between all my furries.

thanks, ms g for the reminder!

hey anna - do you see your pincushion in the picture?? :)

fat give-away

no, it's not what you think. if you have some fat you're looking to get rid of, you'll have to find your own means. the fat i'm speaking of is being given away in the form of quarters - fat quarters.
rachel over at p.s. i quilt is giving away $50 worth of fat quarters also known as bits of fabric goodness for you muggles.

first friday fill in

there's a blog that posts a new fill in every friday. i decided to give it a try. be prepared, more often than not, to see it on saturday. :)

my answers in italics below.

1. being a hormonal mess is not the end of the world.

2. Sitting here, listening to the sound of rain falling, I think of home (washington state).

3. the fresh tomatoes from my garden taste so good!

4. Sometimes, putting others first is a bad idea.

5. the scenery back home (see #2) is breathtaking, really.

6. Well, maybe there is hope.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching the new netflix movies coming in today's mail, tomorrow my plans include knitting as much as possible and Sunday, I want to wash my car!

guest dog

we have a four-legged houseguest. a friend of ours is recovering from a serious illness. so while he gets better, his best friend gets to play at our house. i tried snapping some pictures the other day but this is all i got. he's in the doggie protection program.

ginger is having a ball playing with her new friend.

Latest knit, the OpArt blanket. I'm blogging from my phone on the back porch so I can't add the linky but it's on ravelry and knitty for those who may be interested. It's for my new baby niece Sidney Grace. Though girl-child wants dibs. :)

dogs on friday again

caught the boys napping. fatboy is a real snuggler. ken too for that matter. :)
