Introducing Chewie … the latest family addition

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Chewie10wksMeet Chewie… my sweet little baby.  He’s pomeranian and havernese, 10 weeks old and totally crazy.  He has absolutely no idea that he’s tiny… he prances around our house like king of the castle and is afraid of nothing.   I feel kinda bad for not giving him a big fan fare welcome, (I’ve had him for 2 days already) but I’ve had a migraine for 2 days also.  He’s going to be a small little dude, so I’m litter training him.  He did pretty good today already, so I’m optimistic about that.  His fur is a mottled brown at the roots and black from about half way, then to the tips.  I just adore him and our cats are warming up really quickly.  Goliath, my pride and joy cat, has been the first to warm up to him and they started playing together today, by sharing a jingly ball and taking turns running after it.  Our cats range from 9 lbs to 18 lbs – and this 2 lb pup thinks he towers over them – it’s hysterical.

I’ve never had a dog (as an adult), only cats… I keep waiting for him to purr, LOL  (guess I’ll be waiting a long time) and it’s such a treat to bath him and not have to worry about being used as human pin cushion!

The winding road

Friday, June 19th, 2009

windingRoad3Every moment of every day is a chance to make a choice… choices that affect you and lives of people around you.  Some choices are easy, some take no concious thought… Some are so difficult and make you wonder if you made the right one… The winding road of life takes some on easier paths than others…  My oldest son’s road seems to be a long, slow, uphill path and I would do anything, anything, anything in the world to make his journey easier.

I love you Trevor, with every fiber of my being, with every breath I take, and no matter what – I hope you carry that with you.

I took this picture the other day, when we were looking fore sweet creak falls, and got side-tracked (ok fine…. lost).

Playing around with a little clay

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

I couldn’t sleep last night, so I pulled out my pottery clay and made a few bugs :)  They will need to be fired and glazed, but here they are in their still wet, raw glory.  Below are thumbnails, so just click on each one to see it better.

The holes are for wire attennas to be inserted when they are done, and the long skinny one will hang, so it has an extra hole.

The Destroyer of Light loves bubbles…

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Goliath, destroyer of light, discovered bubbles tonight and he can’t get enough.  When we came in the house, he spent the next few minutes crying at the door to go out and get more…. Like that shrimp in Finding Nemo  “My Bubbles! My Bubbles!”

Pausing to…

Monday, June 1st, 2009

smell the flowers, smell the ocean air… smell the rain

Every morning when I get up, I open up my front door to spy the sky for the day’s weather and lately the air is filled with flowers and green. It’s so heavenly, I wish I could bottle it for winter.


Work has been crazy, not only is it busy, but I’m redoing the site, starting with the shopping cart. I’ve been creating, testing, reworking graphics for days…. yesterday I took a couple of hours to go look at the waves, and breathe in the fresh, salty air… after looking at the computer screen for so many hours… I was going buggy.

As I write this, there is a fantastic thunder storm going on. I’m sitting outside with my laptop, watching the light show and listening to the echoing thunder. I just love a good storm. The lightning is getting closer and closer… you can smell the ozone. I can feel the floor rumbling beneath me.

I was asked to submit an application to join a local co-op gallery. I think I should because it would be really good for me… if you know me, you know I tend to tuck into my shell like a little turtle, lol. It will keep me on top of my creative time – get me mingling with my artsy friends that I should be staying in touch with, etc etc.
I guess I’ll find out tomorrow night if I’m ‘in’.
