brrr

Soo...the groomer calls & says your pooch is all matted underneath & has to have a "close cut"... & he's going to be very cold. Here was my answer to that...


Not a bad look! I just took an old sweater that I had already felted... cut it to fit, & sewed it together under the neck & belly.




just some pinking shears, some yarn & a big darning needle, & voila.


and I added a bone for a little color on the back...


& to put it on, i just pull it over his newly trim head, & wiggle his front legs through the front opening.


i'm pretty pleased with the results, & mister bean is cozy!

Homemade Circus

Anyone heading to the Rosen Show in Philadephia this weekend?
Well if you are, then you are in LUCK, because my great friend Tammy is having her debut show there. If not, well, there are other ways to collect her amazing sculptures, wall pieces & general fabulousness. Try her Etsy Shop, Homemade Circus.

ok, i'm back.

Hello...
Now that I have more blogging friends, I obviously have to step up & actually POST. SO! I promise to. Here are some images from our walk tonight...balmy, nice, a slight breeze, and....Cooper's first puddle!!! (ok, mom was really excited by the fabric on the sofa left on the curb. But I was vetoed.)






Have a lovely evening, all!
