So…I’m sewing Baby steps. I’ve started with some bandanas for the pups. Ike’s my glam fashion model. I’m excited though because I’m getting the hang of pinning, and my stitches are straight. I don’t suppose I really needed 2 yards of fabric for 2 pug bandanas, but you gotta start somewhere!

Super Bowl Even though we cheered, even though we wore kicky homemade Panthers shirts , they still lost. Poor Ike wore his super Panther fan cape in vain. Better pic of the super Panther fan cape here. Maybe next year!

Almost Famous Rachel sent me the link to Dogster. Such a cute idea! It’s neat to see all the other pugs out there. Ike and Kea have their profiles up! Kea’s wearing a kicky pink turtleneck in one picture. Thanks Aunt Rachel! =)

No sleep for pug parents Wow. No sleep at all last night. Kea slept with us, right on Jon’s head. Ike couldn’t figure out what this other dog was doing in bed with us. He was really hyper. In all of his bouncing around he scratched and cut Jon’s lip and my chin. After some…

It’s a girl! We’ve added to our pug family! Ike’s got a woman now! We picked her up today and she’s just the sweetest little thing. She checked out great at the vet this afternoon, where she weighed in at 1.8 lbs! Her name is Kea LiReo Mei Fun. Ike and Kea. Ha! LiReo is…

Iced In! Couldn’t get out of the neighborhood yesterday to go to work because of all the snow and ice. Keep in mind, it’s the south, so yes 2 inches does mean all the snow and ice. I did a good bit of slipping and sliding trying to take Ike out. Then my mom came…

D.I.Finally You know how sometimes you can start a project but it never looks quite right then finally, bam, there it is- finished!? That’s the story with our bedroom. We painted the walls a pale lavender ice. Then I painted a harlequin pattern on the focal wall in a darker shade. That was in September…

So not dank and dusty We’d been planning on hanging our big mirror over the fireplace light we had at the last house. So Jon gets out the stud finder and can’t find a stud! Dang these newly constructed homes! The mirror weighs a good 100 lbs or so, so it went on a wall…

I’m in the party! In today’s mail I found the prettiest stationary with the sweetest note inside. Lisa has asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding next January! I’m so excited and honored. Plus I get to wear my kicky silver bridesmaid shoes again! I can’t wait- what a fun, beautiful wedding that…
