Happy New Year!!!!!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year. We had about 8" of snow Christmas eve and I think it has been pretty much snowing ever since. The other day we got another 5" of the white stuff and today it is snowing again, mainly flurries. I never thought I would be so tried of shoveling my drive way but I am. Yesterday was the 6th time since Christmas day. I am so happy I do not live further north and east. I think I am packing up the pups and cat and moving some place warm. :) Ha Ha I think our whole country is in a deep freeze and there is no place warm at the moment. So I think I will just stay here...............

Here is the snow we got from Christmas. I know not so bad right. Well here in KC, MO it has been quite some time since we have seen this much snow. We used to get this through the winter when I was a kid many many many years ago. :) Everyone was used to it then - and they could drive in it. Most places would be closed over the holidays so there was no need to drive. Just stay at home play out in the snow make a little money by shoveling out neighbors drives. You know the good old days!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a shot of my birdbath and the the little red things sticking out are what used to be my candy cane lights down in front of the bushes. You can see the candy cane lights better in the photo above. I must say now you can't even see any of them at all even my little sign. All Christmas lights will have to come down when all of this melts, maybe in April?????

The Holidays were great. Spent the day with my family and dinner, opened gifts. Just a good old fashioned Christmas. We do this every year. Its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below are my two pups opening a gift from Santa- (my Mom). She spoils them more than I do sometimes. They got a few more gifts as well from me.

Well again I wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope we all have a good, happy and healthy one.

New bears for 2010 are now on ebay. I will post some photos later this evening.

Until then.

Puppy kisses and bear hugs,

First Snow of 2009

Well we just had our first accumulating snow fall for 2009. I just finished shoveling my drive way and thought I would take a few photos. It looks like in my area we only got about maybe 4" of the white stuff and now it is really cold about 11 degrees out side now. At least the sun is shinning.

This is my house. I just finished shoveling out the drive way. Oh what fun that was !!!! Oh by the way my house is bigger than this looks, my evergreen tree to the left covers that side of the house. I should have stood out in the street to get a better view.

These are Yucca plants in my neighbors yard. They look pretty with the snow on them.

These geese just happen to fly by while I was out front. They said they had enough of the cold so off to the south they go.

This is my boy Shadow out in the back playing in the snow. This is the only time when it gets dark out side that I can see where he is in the yard. LOL

Here is Shadow and Kayla. They were playing in the snow before, but Kayla is too fast to take a photo when she is running around the yard. Those crazy dogs!!!!!!!!!


I hope to take some night photos of my Christmas lights outside. They are going to look pretty with the snow out there.

Talk with everyone soon.

Puppy kisses and bear hugs,

PS I have listed more Annie dolls on ebay. Please take a peek.

Shame on me......

for not posting for so long.

There has been quit a lot going around here. First off I was let go from my job at the end of May due to down sizing. So all kinds of emotions have been going through my head. I know a lot of you are out there going through the same thing so you understand what I mean. I know things happen for a reason and God has a plan in mind for me. I do know that he will see me through this and it will all work out for the best.

I have been and still am looking for a new job. It has not been an easy task, but I know that I will get another one. While I am looking for a job I decided to do those little projects around my house that I have been putting off for some time now. As you all know from past post, my wonderful neighbor passed away over a year ago so I have been digging up (with family's permission) some of her flowers for my garden. I am here to tell you I am still digging up flowers. I know I will have to get what I want and soon. It is getting a little chilly here at night and they will soon be fading away for winter. Also her family has put her house on the market so if it sells I will not be able to get any more.
I have also put some lattice around the bottom of my deck so Kayla ( my basset/beagle) wont be able to get under it anymore. Well right......... The little stinker has already broke it and is able to get under the deck. It only took her a week to figure that one out. I did a temporary fix, but guess who figured that out as well. So now I have to redo one whole side again and then try and figure out how to keep her from breaking it again. She is such a stinker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also have been wanting to take out my small pond for over 2 years. Well I did that too.
So I have been moving right along with outdoor projects. Mainly to keep my mind busy while looking for work. As for indoor projects I did some major cleaning out inside my house and had a garage sale. After the sale I painted and fixed one of my spare bedrooms up very nicely. I should have taken a before picture, let me tell you it was a mess. It looks great. I still have a few items left to find new homes for. Now I need to clean up and get rid of more stuff in my other spare room. I think the time is coming up shortly. I am getting really tired of not being able to find anything. It is also my studio and computer room. (even though I work in my living room).

I also got my mojo back for making something. So I made 2 bears and 5 little primitive Annie dolls. They are going to have there debut at the first of October. I think what sparked that was my Mom found a 1928 singer sewing machine at an estate sale for a very good price. (I will post photos of the machine later) So I just had to try that gem out. It worked very well until last weekend. Now I have to figure out what is wrong with it. So in the mean time I have a little hand work to do on my new designed Annie's.
Who knows I might have to make a couple more of them. They are wonderful to design from the pattern to the clothes.

Kayla and I had our dog walk last weekend so I will post a couple of photos from the event. It really was not a good walk this year. Little miss thing (Kayla) had an attitude. I will have that story in a later post.

Well I think I have caught you all up on what has been going on around my little part of the world.

Please keep me in your prayers as I will do for others.

Lots of puppy kisses and bear hugs.

Updates, Updates, Updates !!!!!!!!!!

Well I thought I had better pop in and give everyone a few updates

Kayla update:

Kayla is doing fine. We went to her regular Vets last week for a I am feeling fine chest x-ray and the shocker was that it looked just like all of her other ones when she was sick. How strange is that. Now I am thinking that her lungs are normal too. So now we are back to square one on trying to figure out why she is having the breathing spells. The Vets tell me she is a medical mystery dog. :) I say she is my special little girl!!!!!

Flower update:

Well we have all of the flowers out of the front flower bed of my neighbors yard. Her son has seeded it and it is looking good. Grass is now starting to come up and the front has a bigger yard.
I have started as of this past weekend digging flowers in the back yard. I really don't have to much more to dig up but it should give them a bigger back yard as well. I will post photos of my flower beds later.

My neighbors Estate sale started today which is a little depressing, but I know it has to be done. I did get to go over this past Monday with the family to pick up a few things I saw I wanted. I did get two old trunks and a chest for storing my bear material and needle felting supplies. They are really cool and old. I love antique stuff like that and have been wanting a trunk for storage. Now I have my neighbors which is more sentimental to me. I will have to post photos at a later date.

Computer update:

Well the old saying is all things good or bad comes in threes. Well it did. First I was sick a couple of weeks ago than Kalya got sick and now my computer is sick. It is still being worked on. I will answer all emails from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at my day job from Monday thru Friday until my computer is well and back home.

I will be posting here on my blog but I am unable to update my website at this time.

I think and hope I have caught everyone up on what is going on in my corner of the world.

Until next time,

Puppy kisses and bear hugs,

Sheryl
