A Run for Cover

On a day like today it is the only thing you can do.

They Grow up so fast

It’s hard to imagine that the puppies are already 3 days old.

I have to admit that I am a little partial to…  all of them.  Uh oh.  It’s a good thing I only have enough money (make that credit) to buy one.

Click here to see their individual pics.

I’ll get to visit them in a month at which time their personalities will be starting to show through and their coats will “lift”.  We’ll be able to see how wavy or curly their coats will become too.  Yay, can’t wait.  :)

The Puppies Have Arrived!

I don’t think I could be more excited than this, well… maybe when I actually get to bring one home.  :)

Avalon went into labour at 3 am yesterday and gave birth to 7 beautiful puppies.

You can see the first photos of the little ones here 

Yay!

A New Fur-Baby?

I am so excited to announce that we are expecting!  (Another fur-baby that is)

I applied to Earth Angel Labradoodles for an upcoming puppy and was accepted.

The father is XSton  The mother, Avalon,  The possible look of  one of the puppies  For some of the other photos of their past litter just go here

Now I just have to figure out how to wait 3 months before he or she comes home (without driving everyone nuts by talking about it constantly).

Ahhhhh March…

Finally!

I haven’t been here in so long that I almost forgot the way. Thank god for Aunty Tink who “helped” to “point” out the right path. hee, hee.

I may have fallen off the blog bandwagon for a while there, but I couldn’t resist this new one that came along – the “Superhero Wagon”! I’m on!

I float like a butterfly, sting like a gnu

This will be for one of my sisters once it is finished. Considering how ADHD I am with my knitting, I’m surprised how well I’ve been sticking to working on just this one project. I just hope I will still be able to say that when it comes to sewing it together.
Wish me luck.

Yay! An FO!

And it has buttons and everything.
I love how this turned out with the Blue Sky Cotton. Gave it a really nice feel.
One issue though – The colour change across the bottom. Unfortunately I didn’t notice this till I was taking this picture. Hopefully that means it won’t be that obvious when worn.
Besides, I love it anyway.

Word of the Day

Cannock Chase (n.) – In any box of After Eight Mints, there is always a large number of empty envelopes and no more than four or five actual mints.  The cannock chase is the process by which, no matter which part of the box you insert your fingers into, or how often, you will always extract most of the empty sachets before pinning down an actual mint, or ‘cannock’.      The cannock chase also occurs with people who put dead matches back in the matchbox, and then embarrass themselves at parties trying to light cigarettes with three quarters of an inch of charcoal.     The term is also used to describe futile attempts to pursue unscrupulous advertising agencies who nick your ideas to sell chocolates with.    (“The Deeper Meaning of Liff” by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd)
