My good friend Cait of Gypsy Arts has begun the habit of needle felting, and wanted to make pieces to benefit the CorgiAid holiday auction. She used Galaxy as the model for this adorable Cardi wool sculpture! I’m surprised after 2 weeks of Galaxy at the coast in August, she ever wanted to [...]
Galaxy the model, supporting CorgiAid!
An adorable team of trouble….
The little girls, making trouble as Aunty Kay and I work with Red Bull and Galaxy on obedience stuff, and take some photos. These two make a great team, always getting into trouble together. Who can resist the cute though? Alright, I’m a bit biased :)
The sky is falling… errr, I mean leaves are falling!
Having more fall color than usual here has been so nice, and given us many opportunities to play out in the leaves, and me to snap cute pics of kid, and critters in the leaves. If only every year here were this colorful!
Having found that large pile of leaves in the park makes me [...]
Sparkles abuse alert…..
Sparkles thinks living with a 4-year-old, and a crazy lady aren’t always as cool as it’s cracked up to be…
But hey, she’s CUTE! She actually LOVES the attention she gets when dressed up. Dea wanted Sparks to wear this hat out, and both the little girls loved all the fawning, and attention. [...]
Life with an honest 4-year-old
On the way to daycare, and school yesterday morning at 7am, the car was quiet (Too darned tired to talk!), and out of the blue Dea blurted out “It would really suck to be like you when I grow up”. Muffling back laughter, needing to hear the explanation, esp not knowing what brought this [...]
Spinning resolution, plus what I’ve been doing
I don’t spin enough anymore, and seems when I do spin, I never finish projects. Why do ya’ll think I keep making new spindles ;) heh My spinning wheels are packed away, and I really need to pull the ashford back out, now that it’s getting colder. I bought the jumbo [...]
Visiting Silver Falls kennel, again
We were invited to visit Jeannie, and the critters at Silver Falls American Water Spaniels last week, and had a blast! It was a much needed break, from a long week at school for me, and daycare for Dea. This summer Jeannie and her husband added some adorable Shetland Sheep to their family, [...]

My dreadiversary- whoops, I missed it!
August was technically the 1 year anniversary of my first (And currently only) dreadlock. I realized this, as I did something I’d been wanting to do for a while, and dyed my ratty mat purple *G*
Most people don’t like dreads, but I loooove it. And no, since many people ask, it doesn’t stink. [...]
Maybe I should live in Nashville?
Nashville, Oregon that is. Bored, and on the way to the coast I decided to ‘detour’ off hwy 20 out to the Summit, and Nashville area, and have to say, OMG, so beautiful. I don’t know what it is about dinky little rural towns, but I love them. Whenever I see long, [...]
