DAY NUMBER TWO WITH LILY

I took some better pictures of her today. I am really tired i did not sleep real well last night worrying about our doggie. Anyway that is a nasty toy she loves so much I have already cut off the eyes, nose, and pulled the stuffing out of it so she would not choke. And she has taken over our couch that is why there is a throw on it. She really was good last night we crated her and she howled for about 5 minutes then settled down. Then I got up and went to bed and she howled for about 15 minutes but I just went to sleep and so did she.





so tomorrow she has a vet appointment and Thursday she has a groomer appointment to get bathed. Boy if she only knew what was in store for her.
AND YES WE DID NAME HER LILY.Her and Don have walked alot of miles in the last 24 hours. She loves to be outside.
And from what we have seen on the internet she sure looks MORE pug then beagle.

LOOK WHO CAME TO LIVE WITH US

We think we are going to name her LILY but not 100percent certain yet. We have been visiting the dog pounds for the last couple of weeks because Don wanted a dog. Well this is the one he fell in love with last week BUT there were two other people that were in front of him on the hold list for her. BUT guess what? She was meant to live with us because nobody else showed up to get her. So here she is as far as we know she is about 2 years old and a puggle which if you do not know is pug and beagle mix. She is very smart and very friendly. We are going to have her "fixed" within the next week or so then lets just hope she adopts us like we have adopted her. I have never had a house dog before but I am ready for her.



Here she is at the door when Don left to go buy a crate,dog food,leash,dsh,toys,brush..........





and just look where the little princess has decided to sit~~~~~MY CHAIR~~~~~~

Monday at the Moore's house

well the snow is finally starting to melt and dripping all over. I am fine with that and really happy because we have had two days of sunshine. EEKKK look out the door after dinner tonight (I grilled hamburgers on the grill) and IT IS SNOWING AGAIN!!!!
Well today I worked on some projects in my shop. I am working on a cow from Anniescupboard. I made one last year and just loved it and one day I was walking by my pattern basket and it just called out my name. Here she is waiting in the make-up chair

AND HERE she is after make-up but still no arms, legs, or clothes



I am also working on a new doll(for me anyway) It is a pattern of sweetmeadowsfarm. I have had to alter it some to make it fit for what I have in mind. Here is her legs and arms getting worked on.



See her legs hanging on a nail over the cow head? I have painted her stockings and shoes on.



well gotta go the phone is ringing and I am going to go talk to Barb

She is sitting on my fireplace mantle right now but she has been in a lot of different spots. She just has not found where she is the happiest yet. she has so many new friends here she needs to keep moving around and meeting some of them.
Here is her picture and this is BRENDa's blog. Please go visit her and look at her website where her dolls are for sale while you are there. Her dolls are toooooo cute and I wish I could own a bunch of them.
