And now Nemo will sing a special song just for YOU!!

I made our first LOL!

I created my first LOL for I has a Hotdog! Here's a link to it if you want to vote for him:

Also, In case you didn't already know. Nemo is famous. He won a contest and is dog of the month at http://www.itsadogthang.com/ We couldn't be more proud!! He won us a free t-shirt. Cool! Check him out because he'll only be there until the end of May.

I've been pretty much out of commission lately from the migraines, but I have managed to make a few things. Here they are:

My first foray into needle felting. I made a needle holder. Pretty much you take raw unspun wool and poke it over and over and over again with barbed needles until you get the shape and design you want. Pretty fun! I want to do this more!!

Step one: take wool and lay it on the pad and start poking away with needles and......

Voila! A New Needle Holder. How cool is that??

My Great-nephew turned 2 and had a Car's themed party. I made the invites look like tickets to a race. Then, I got out the scrapbook supplies and made a custom envelope with Doc Hudson (which is his favorite from the movie) I added actual doll eyes to make him a little more dimensional. It turned out so well that some people thought they were store bought. I guess that's a very high compliment that they didn't look homemade. I'm very proud!

I'm working on my nephew's high school graduation present. It's an afghan with his future college logo on it. Boy, I hope he doesn't decide to go elsewhere. I'll have to kill him, or he'll just have a reminder of where he was gonna go to live with forever. What a nice reminder that would be?? I'm also reworking my first pair of socks for the thirtieth time. You'd think I'd measure my foot before starting again. I keep getting halfway finished and it always ends up too small. Must measure first! Oh, and swatch too!

Snow Day!

Finally, I'm posting my first real blog entry. We had an exciting day. SNOW!!!! We've gotten over 4 inches and sadly that's the most snow I've seen here in years. The world is so nice, quiet and peaceful. We took lots of pictures of Nemo out in the snow. He actually ran around for a while. Too bad I couldn't snap a pic quickly enough when he ran and suddenly stopped ,plowing his nose into the snow. He had a really cute snow beard. But somehow I just couldn't get him to stand still. Go figure.


Ewww--it's getting deep out here! Pretty soon he's gonna go under.

Snow Day!

Waiting to go inside and get warm and a couple of treats so he can keep up his winter bulk. He's really added to his belly since coming back from Tennessee. He gets a lot more exercise when he's being chased around by Oscar--or is it Nemo chasing Oscar. Better yet they have a ball fighting over the toys. One day Nemo just might learn how to share with sweet ol' Oscar. Ok, probably not.

Snow Day!

He came in covered in snowballs. The snow was so wet it took a lot of effort to get them out. Of course he got to run like crazy, rubbing all over the furniture, and then basking under the hairdryer for a good 5 minutes.

I really wanted to keep my chubby face out of this one (Thanks Phillip) Try not to stare:)
Nemo is sporting his new hunting coat and hat from his Aunt Denise. He's one spoiled pup!!
The snow got so deep he was up to his belly. You would have thought he'd be running inside, but he stayed quite a while (by that I mean a whole 5 minutes).

Isn't he handsome??? Now, you'd better say yes to that one. After all, he's the only child I have :)
