This Bed is Juuuuust Right

 Good morning,

Kjell and I were watching a movie last night when I realized I hadn't seen Elsa for awhile.  We have multiple dog beds around the house as well as kennels with soft blankets and  open doors where the pups settle down for a snooze. They are usually nearby in the living room while we are there watching TV in the evenings.

I went upstairs to set up the coffee pot for this morning and found Elsa snuggled up on my bed.  She had even pulled the comforter down so she could put her head on my pillow.  It was all so cute!  Of course, I didn't mind.  

I immediately thought of story of Goldie Locks  and the Three Bears.  Elsa had tried all the other beds in the house and decided that mine was Juuuuuust right!

Stop to Smell the Flowers

 Good morning,

I'm glad my camera was ready to catch this sweet image.  

That's darling Elsa again.

Another Title for Elsa

 Good morning,

Still another Agility Trial Title Certificate arrived in the mail for Elsa!

She is now a Master Excellent Jumper.  :)  

Elsa and her trainer/our daughter, Catherine, are racking up the titles!

Yes, we are so proud of Team Elsa.

Work in Process - A Favorite

 Good morning,

This design should be getting familiar.  The one I made last month sold eight days after I listed it, so it immediately went back in the queue to make another.

This is a Brilliant Rainbow and Off White Large Afghan Blanket.  It's over half finished but will still take several more days and evenings to complete.  Of course, it'll be in the shop when finished.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois

Penny in Colorado

 Good morning,

Our friend Bill and his pup Penny are hiking in Colorado.  Bill sent this picture today of Penny who is surely having a blast spending so much quality time with her Dad.

I asked about the shoes that Catherine ordered for Penny and Bill said Penny decided not to wear them.  

Stay safe, my friends, and we'll see you in another week or two!

Colorful Berries on the Vine

 Good morning,

These pretty berries are on a vine that has taken over my flower ladder against the garage.

What struck me about them is the range of color of the blue, green, purple berries and how lovely those colors would be in an afghan blanket.  Then I realized I had already done this!  Check it out!

Ah, yes, Mother Nature is my best inspiration.
