So waz up?

THANK GOD winter is over and summer is just around the corner. That is the longest winter I have ever endured in my lifetime. Yikes! With 10' berms and 4' of snow, it was pretty brutal.... but the dogs sure did love it. Silly huskies.

My two Etsy stores have really taken off and that has turned in to a full time job. If I am not busy filling and packing orders, I am busy creating and making new stuff to list.... but, no complaints here. It's all good. I am really looking forward to the Lavender Festival in mid-July. I will have a craft booth there. It is being held in Newport, WA this year so it will be nice and close.

Life with the dogs? They keep me busy and on my toes too. Yukon and Aleutia have been busy making bacon in the doggie love shack and I will have June husky puppies. :)

That's the latest news for the moment. I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day, and out having fun! Happy summer everyone. I will check back and post more news as the events occur.

Hugs!

Is that sun I see?


The sun has finally decided to peek through the clouds and brighten the gray skies here In no Idaho. It hasn't snowed in over 3 weeks.... does that mean spring is finally here? I sure hope so!!!!!


All of the winter husky puppies have now gone to good homes so the house is empty again......

but I do think that Yukon has been a busy boy in the "hen house." He and Aleutia have been making bacon I do believe, so that would mean June puppies!!!!!! Oh boy!


I have been passing time (while snowed in for months,) creating all kinds of unique, one of a kind, gift items and jewelry for my two Etsy stores. Although I love gemstones and making the gemstone wire wrapped jewelry, my love is needle felting. I took my first needle felting class in December and made a bear. A friend saw it and asked me if I could create a likeness of her Sheltie for her (which was featured on the livingfelt website.




Since then I have made several other felt animals for my Twisted Whiskers Etsy store. My latest felt creations are these two hummingbirds. If you would like to see all of my felt creations please click on the link to go to my Etsy store.
