And the winner is....

JOJO!! I wrote all the drawing names on little scraps of paper and had Jimmie Dean pick the winner! He chose JoJo. Not a very bright idea by me. I had to try to get the little piece of paper out of his mouth before he destroyed it.

Congratulations to you JoJo!!! I'll email you. Here's what you've won!!!

A wool snowman ornament. I bought one of these at a craft fair a few years ago and have been making them every year since. Hope you like it JoJo!

Here's a picture of J.D. with his new bed. I got it at Bass Pro and their stuff is mostly for hunting dogs. This bed is bigger than my king sized pillow!! He did drag it across the floor about 2 feet. I couldn't believe it. The little shit is strong!!! I read that Yorkshire terriers were bred to put in a man's pocket and carried to a rat infested home or business. They cut their tails when they're pups and leave a "handle". They used the handle to pull them out of the hole. He's a fast little booger. I can see him catching a mouse for sure. He's sure been fun for both of us. We're working on not biting now. That's not going so well. He's pretty much potty trained, but he's just not quite getting the "don't bite" thing. Patience grasshopper. I wonder how many of you are too young to remember that phrase?!?!?!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We sure had a nice time at my sisters. I got to see all my nieces and nephews and their children. That was a happy surprise. I thought they would be at their dads all day. We took Jimmie Dean but I didn't let the kids handle him since he has bronchitis. I did do some Internet searching to see if we could get sick from him. The answer is no. You can't pass illnesses back and forth from your animals.

Have a great weekend. Hope you're not too tired from shopping today!

Peace,

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Let's not forget to be thankful today. Hope everyone has a love filled day with friends, family and memory making.

Peace,

Working on "Secret Santa" box

I've started getting the Wool Snippets secret Santa stuff ready. I have all kinds of ideas for the box of goodies. Can't tell though. She may read my blog!


It's supposed to be 60 degrees here again today. Talked to Patti in Florida though, and it's 75-80. Must be nice! Got a picture of her on the beach. I've never been to Florida in the winter. I'm happy with 60 degrees!!!!


I've got to go to an eye surgeon in an hour. I have an oil gland in my lower eye lid that is enlarged. Ever heard of such a thing? Me either! I hope it doesn't interfere with my hooking. I'm starting to freak about DH's rug. What, only 30 days until Christmas? I know I'll finish it waaay before, I always freak for no reason. Maybe it motivates me.

I was so proud of Tammy. She's painting her utility room. Sanded off the oil paint, then repainting with latex. Anyway... I read that she had set herself a "mental" finish date of being finished by Thanksgiving. I swear it works!!! Something about making a promise to yourself is hard to break. That is unless you promise to go on a diet. I can always seem to break that promise!??!?

Also Jimmie Dean is doing better I think. He's still coughing, but not as much. He's taking a nap in his playpen now. I ordered one of those big play yards that doesn't have a bottom in it. You can shape it any way you want. It has eight panels. I thought in the spring that's what I'll use outside since our huge yard isn't fenced. I can take just four pieces with us to grandmas house too!
Peace,

Post number 50! Enter for give away!

When I started writing this blog I was doing it for fun not thinking anyone would actually be interested in what I had to say. But today is number 50! Thanks for reading! Just leave me a comment and I'll draw a name on Friday (Black Friday) I'll be giving away a Christmas ornie. It will be a surprise I'll show you after the drawing! I'll be home on that day. Not out with the 4:00 a.m."sale people" I have finished my shopping!

I am feverishly working on Christmas hooking projects. I am getting a little closer every day on DH's rug. And the Santa dolls are coming around too.

One down...

Two to go...

It's already 9:30 a.m. here. I'd better get hooking.

Oh and BTW I had to take Jimmie Dean to the vet yesterday. He was coughing for about three days. I thought it was more like dry heaving, but the doc said it was a bronchitis cough. He's on antibiotics. It is liquid medicine and I told Mickey to hold him down and I'd squirt it in the back of his mouth. Mickey bent over with the syringe and said lets just see if he'll lick it. Duh.....He lapped up every drop. I was prepared for the holding, thrashing, choking of my last dog. Here's the cute little scrap book I got for his pictures. I started taking pictures when we were at the bank withdrawing the cash to shopping at Walmart to paying the lady for him. I forgot to take my camera to the vet yesterday though. Bad mommy. I have lost a scrapbooking moment! I have to take him back next week for a re-check. I'll take a pic of that and put that in the book.

Have a great Tuesday.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.

Peace,

Sheri
