Peanut, the foster pup




most of you know that I volunteer with Almost Home Rescue ( www.almosthomerescue.net ) in transporting dogs, doing home visits, and being a foster home for dogs looking for a forever home. Our latest foster, Peanut, joined us before Christmas & found his forever home a week or so ago. Can't say that Oscar or Murphy are sad he's gone but we do miss the pup and hope he is loving his family. We'll wait until after an upcoming vacation to take in another foster.....

the boys

for those of you who did not see our Christmas card this year, it featured a not-so cheerful photo of our dogs, Oscar & Murphy, otherwise known as "the boys". Yes, they look particularly miserable this year & I can only wonder what must be going on those little brains of theirs. For your information, it took a bag full of treats, 30 minutes, and 1 frustrated photgrapher to snap this piece of art :-)

weaving the day away

the colors are a bit wonky here, but this is my latest rug weaving project. I took a "refresher" course at one of my favorite places, Alewives in Damriscotta Mills. In between orders for custom holiday cards, working on handmade Christmas presents, and making our own Christmas cards I am weaving a row or two of this rug....very relaxing! Was thinking about making 1 or 2 for gifts but I'm out of time on that so I'll start them as gifts for birthdays and such.
