Ground floor perfumery,
Stationery and leather goods,
Wigs and haberdashery,
Kitchenware and Fast-Topic-Changing-Fridays…going up!
One-hundred points to anyone who recognizes this song.

We have a new foster boy, named Brucie.
I picked him up from a bad situation as a representative of Basenji Rescue.
He’s a foster. He’s a foster. He’s a foster. Repeat as necessary.
|
 |
He is a handsome, sweet, and skinny thing.
We’re working on getting him up to normal weight, and on Tuesday, he starts heart worm treatment.
We’re focusing on his bright future, not his rough past.
|
 |
Now if he would just PLEASE STOP PEEING ON THE GAZEBO.
Next…!

Stephanie and I are working on a little “how to knit” booklet for a kit to be sold at The Knitting Nest.
She takes such nice photos.

I won a Namaste photo contest on Ravelry (well, I tied for first) with this photo. This is all the gear they sent to me! So exciting.
They make such nice knitting gear.
|
 |
When the box arrived, Abe went NUTS. I handed him the packing paper, and he was good for hours.
To see all three winning photos, visit the Namaste site and click on “Photo of the Month”.

On the needles…the Tapestry Cowl from pepperknit (aka MintyFresh).
Such a great pattern. I’ll be teaching this project as a class in September…so many lessons! Magic cast-on, double-knitting, colorwork, chart-reading, and how-to-make-the-perfect-omelet.
Next…!

This crate is set up for when That Guy comes over to visit with his dog. (She has to be crated when we’re out of the house.)
I spent YEARS trying unsuccessfully to crate train Ike. Now that I don’t care anymore, he hangs out in here all the time.
Have a great holiday weekend!

I’ve mentioned before that I’m working on a self-portrait photo project – a self portrait every single day for one year. Today I went back through the reject pile for some of the more ridiculous outtakes.
There is a common theme with many of these photos…don’t ask me how, but I manage to take a photo of myself before I’m ready. That, my friends, is a rare and stupid talent.

Outtake of this photo.
Reason: I don’t need to take a photo showing how annoyed I was during the photo shoot.

Outtake of this photo.
Reason: Not only was I not in this photo, but Abe took one of the zeros off the wall and ran off with it.
Good times.

Lights! Camera! Fast-topic-changing-Friday!
 |
Tropical Storm Edouard was a total disappointment ’round here. Austin’s thirsty lawns were only given a sip of water.
However, the storm did drop the temperature about ten degrees.
It was only 95 degrees that day! I tried to stay warm.
This photo is part of my self-portrait project.

Gus and Lou (my ex’s Basenjis) are back in Houston now, and I’m left with Ike and Abe.
After four weeks with four dogs, my house is so very still and quiet. (Barkless dogs can still cause commotion, trust me.)
But…
|
 |
I have this new girlfriend named Zelda who frequently visits. She’s half-Basenji, half-Lab.
She looks Lab-ish, no doubt (hello, tongue!), but don’t be fooled. She baroos. She climbs high on to the back of furniture to rest. She hates getting wet. She hunts. She’s way smart.
Oh, she’s a sweet wiggle butt.
Next…!

 |
Before…(sexy!)
|
 |
And after.
These are the Fiber Trends Felt Clogs, knit with Cascade 220.
Totally fun knit.
Details on The Rav.

I have to assume that there was something REALLY interesting outside this window while I wasn’t home.
I need to teach the dogs how to work the pull cord.
But the fun doesn’t end there…

 |
Abe carried the Olympic Torch of Yarn through the house last night.
He sure set it up to make it look like Ike did it. Sneaky.
Have a great weekend!
