Busy, but with down-time
We had a great week! Lots of afternoon pool time, lots of puppy play time, some computer work and a bit of studio card time! But first … Chloe’s posse turned 7 wks old. They are so fun to play with and too stinking cute! If you want to see more of our bulldogs, …
Waterlogged … and happy!
Spent as much time in the pool as possible this week. So, I managed to get ‘sun-kissed’ and pruney-wrinkly fingers. Of course, that much time in the pool meant not much cooking happening in the kitchen (and a large amount of liquid meals … Hey, that sun was warm, I didn’t want to risk dehydration!) …
Growing …
Chloe’s pups sure are! They turned 5 wks old today … the cutest little stinkers!!! And, I’m growing my skill set as a card maker … slowly. I did some water coloring with the Peerless travel set: Played with scraps of paper for a background Revisited a couple of stamps for some copic coloring: …
Sunshine & Puppies …
It doesn’t get much better for this old gal! Our Neo pups have moved on to their new homes, which is bittersweet. My bulldog posse have opened their eyes and found their VOICES! Here are a couple of group photos: And Clyde – profile and posing! I made a few cards, sent …
It’s Time to Make the Donuts …
Motherhood isn’t always easy … But poor Chloe is doing great! And her piglets are growing and thriving. While the Cowbell loves her babies very much, she let me know with a look or two this week that it’s not all bonbons and roses. My sweet thing! The pups, who are 10 days old, are …
What a week!
Chloe had her babies! On Wednesday, she started stage 1 labor, and when she ‘returned’ her food, we were off to the vet. Six hours later, we came home with one groggy Momma and four beautiful bulldog babies! Here she is loving on her ‘posse’: Life-on-the-outside is settling in (day 1 was a bit rough, …
Tales from a card-maker wanna-be …
I had some ups and downs this week. I’m having a drink right now to ease my latest nightmare adventure … [Cue drama …] But first … I love me some fuchsias. I can’t write the word without the aid of spell check (what is up with that crazy spelling, anyway); I can’t keep the …
Minimal Adulting here …
I did some coloring this week. That led to organizing my available markers, deciding which colors/color-families I wanted to grow … A wee bit of online shopping … (Umm, Mother’s Day is coming …) More coloring and new stamps to color (I’m not too sure about that clown, but the witch and Frankie are pretty …
So, yeah … We’ll get to glass
But first … I made a few cards this week. And, I’ve got a few (hundred) more ideas rolling around. I did feed DH – my version of Eggroll-In-A-Bowl. He loves it. And, we made a small stock-pot amount … Leftover’s for the boys! This week-end we’ll be making a giant crock of (my) …
Aha! Success …
Sort-of … Well – not really … But, CLOSE ENOUGH! Today’s challenge was to bust out the Sizzix Eclips and figure out how to use it for electronically die cutting, for my next-level evolution as a stamping ‘card maker’. Challenge accepted! I hate the idea of paying $20-$30 for manual die cuts, and there are …
