One sick puppy.......

Right after surgery at home......not liking that cone.

My poor Bisquit.  She had surgery yesterday to remove some moles mostly on her legs. They were irritating her and she kept licking them.  Doc says they are not cancerous but just something that starts to grow on some dogs as they get older.  She had a rough night but we made it through.  She hates the cone she has to wear but is getting better maneuvering around with it on. Two weeks of this for her but we are looking at the bright side for a better life without those irritating moles. Hang in there girl.

Trying to enjoy the morning......
her favorite thing to do lay on the patio.

Copper Skull Necklace

 I love Halloween!  So I convinced my jewelry teacher to have a Halloween type jewelry class this month. And boy did she have a "spooktacular" one for us.  This skull pendant is made of copper, an acrylic skull, and handmade rivets. I loved making this piece with the sawing of the copper, texturizing, and making the rivets (although it took me a long while to make the rivets and had to tag team with the teacher).  I know I complained somewhat about using the jewelers saw and broke the blade 3 times (sorry!), but I do like experiencing and learning new techniques. The look of the skull crashing out of the copper adds to this "spooky" theme. This one of my favorite pieces!  Thanks Colleen for another awesome class. Happy Halloween everyone!

One Drunk Puppy.......

Went to a wine tasting event at the Silverton Hotel this evening.  Proceeds go to the SPCA. Anything to help the animals is always a good cause.  In addition to the numerous wines to taste, there was a silent auction, appetizers, music, and more wines to taste.  I found the one wine I absolutely love......Orange Moscato.....so delicious!  Don't you love the slogan they used, "One Drunk Puppy"?

Early Birthday Gift!

Thanks Colleen Mc for my early birthday gift.  I only have one cookie jar and that was from my mom. And now I have this one. The more I look at it, the more I'm loving it. (I didn't realize at first the colors are the colors of my kitchen.....can you say duh?).  It's so very cute. Thank you much!!!! Bad boys, Bad boys.........
