Lacie Meets Pebbles

My faux granddaughter came to visit yesterday and got to meet my new foster, Miss Pebbles.  I knew Lacie was coming and positioned myself on the floor next to Pebbles pen so I could catch her expression.  She so loves all animals!

 I LOVE the expression on her face as she spies the puppy.

 What a face!!!

Not sure what Pebbles thinks about this two-legged baby!

 

I am helplessly enraptured with this child!!

 

Where O Where....

have I been lately!?!?  

Besides having a miserable sinus infection, I am mostly trying to adapt to living in a suburb.  It's not enough to say I miss living in the country, because I REALLY miss the country.  The smells, the views, the crops, the animals, the wildlife, the privacy and so forth. 

Don't get me wrong, I like it here.  This house is new and has tons of storage and I even have an extra room for my crafts.  The neighbors I have met are nice too.  It's just different.  And you might be saying to yourself, yeah but she lives in a neighborhood all winter and that's true, but I was always able to balance that by coming home to the country for the summer.  That was until dad had to come live with me and and wanted to be closer to rest of the family while he is home for the summer.  

So now I am left to fool myself.  In the evenings, Mr. Fix-it and I sit outside  and face the lawn chairs away from the other homes so we can look at a nearby woods.  Note, that field will be filled with houses someday but not to soon I hope!

Anyway, maybe it's just me but it doesn't seem like I have anything interesting to write about here.  There's always something going on in the country you know and I'm missing it all!


So what have I been doing?  Usually I'm taking dad to various doctor appointments and have even been going to physical therapy for my ankle that I broke last winter.  I have made a few dog collars and yesterday I finished a new project that I'm hoping will take off because I have ideas for more!

Here it is..............

I love it!  It's an overnight doggie bag for your pooch. 

 

I came up with the idea last winter.  I have lots of dogs that come to board with me and some have their possessions in a bag but many just bring stuff and hand it to me.  So, that's when I thought, 'Doggie bag'. How funny is that!

I just listed it in my Etsy store

Hopefully someone will like my idea as well. 


I have also been lucky enough to have my faux granddaughter for a visit so I can't not show off a picture of her!

 

She's just so dang cute!

Eyes of an Angel

 

Aren't those the most beautiful eyes ever!!  Well, ok...I might be a bit biased.  Those Bette Davis eyes belong to Miss Lacie and she is my 'faux' granddaughter.  Her grandpa is Mr. Fix-it, my significant other.  Since my two children don't have kids and probably won't, this may be the closest I get to a grandchild.  I have fallen head over heels for Lacie.

Mr. Fix-it had to baby-sit Lacie today so mommy could work and he brought her to see me.  Well goodness, if she's not a depression buster I don't know what is!!

 She decided to 'help' me by sorting out some of the dog collars I've made. 

 Apparently she needed my reading glasses to assist her with the task!

 I suggested to Mr. Fix-it that perhaps he needed my reading glasses to dress her!  Wow, orange shirt and bright pink crocs!!  Of course, I added to the mix by putting a red ribbon with white puppy paws in her hair.  She was quite the fashion statement today.  

Oh, and here's a picture of her showing her new baby doll to my dad.  He was pretty pleased about that because she is a bit afraid of him.  

All too soon it was time for her to go home.  Isn't she just the cutest with that little backpack and her blankie on her back.  

Sighhhhh.....what an angel!
