(this moment)

A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Inspired by Soule Mama.

My Constant Companions

I knit. A Lot. And who is always lying right beside me?

Who prefers to be lying on the cool tile?

Who is naughty and leaves all their toys lying everywhere?

Who wants to go outside??

Who is very independent and loves to explore?

Who stays by my side, even when we're outside?

Who is getting better at coming when called?

And whose tail never stops wagging?

Who wants to go inside for TREATS??????? (please forgive the shoes, they stay outside by the back door...)

YAY, TREATS!

My girls

Just 2 of my silly adorable dogs. Why are they resting in perfect formation????

Boo plays

Boo never stops playing. She wants to play with all the much bigger and older doggies here. She is funny and silly and loves me to death, as I love her.

I had a nightmare the other night that we had to move and couldn't take her. It was awful.

Anyway, here's some crummy pictures of my little girl:

She's a peekapoo - 1/2 pekinese and 1/2 poodle. She weighs a little over 7 pounds.

Sorry for the crazy eyes in the picture!!

Just had to share!

When she is ready for a nap, she comes to find me, and begs to be picked up - then promptly falls asleep in my arms. I need a baby sling for her.

Dog Play

Why bother to make the bed? These silly dogs are just going to jump all over it and roll around and root under the covers. These two are Buster and Boo, for which I named my newest shop.

Boo loves to climb all over Buster, and he doesn't care at all. She's a girl, and he's a boy, so it's not what you may think.....

Boo is a peekapoo (pekinese/poodle mix, still a puppy, bought from a neighbor). Buster came from a rescue when he was a puppy, he is half springer spaniel, half we don't know what.

Silly dogs.

The real thing?

A little story for you:

I received a request for a custom item in my Woolies shop. The customer told me that their beloved doggie was ill, and dying. She wanted a similar doggie made for her daughter, in remembrance of the adored dog. Since we have four dogs, this concept was just wonderful to me, and so so sad. So, what do you think?

Buster and boo

Did I ever tell you where the name for my new shop

came from? I have four dogs -

Teddy Bear, Sugaree, Buster and Boo. Teddy and Sugar

are cockapoos - cocker spaniel/poodle mixes. Buster is a

mutt - Springer spaniel/ poodle/ whatever. Boo is my puppy

- I got her for my birthday in November. She is little, she's a

peekapoo that we got from a neighbor. She is the sweetest

thing in the world - has no idea that she is littler than the others.

I adore her, it's a bit ridiculous. I promise to work on better

pictures, but here are some for your viewing pleasure.

Buster and boo

So the creative process takes a LONG time when you're knitting, I am very impatient by nature, and it's getting worse as I get older. Pathetic, I know.
In looking for a creative outlet, I found a tutorial on making pendants. Voila! A new shop is born! Come visit buster and boo!
The pendant pictured is the first one sold, and I just heard from the buyer that she loved it ! Yay!!!!
