Puppy and Patterns or Patterns and Puppy

I'm not sure what has been taking up more of my time...the puppy or the pattern I just finished writing and publishing. I'll start with the puppy. Really, this is just a photo post.




This is just one of the signs that greeted us as we pulled up into the place where Lucy lived her first 8 weeks of life. The sign says "SLOW Golden Retrievers at play". Lucy comes from a great family.




A sweet little kiss for daddy.

Here's the other busy P...I've designed May Day baskets! Or baskets for whatever you find useful. I wish this holiday would have more of a presence in our world. It's kind of like a random act of kindness except the receiver isn't supposed to know who it's from. One would hope that it puts a smile on their face and a bounce in their step. There are four different sizes and styles and I had so much fun taking pictures of these. I love fresh flowers and I really should have some around the house because they make me happy when I see them. As some would put it "Food for the soul" Yep! And the candy was delish too. Anyways, I decided to put this pattern in the Etsy shop since I labored this project. But I learned a lot through the whole process. I think the hardest part will be giving these baskets away. I love them way too much.



Have a Happy Easter!

What a precious pup! Don't tell anyone, but my 22 year is graduating college next month, and since he's been asking for a golden retriever since he was 10, we're gonna get him one for graduation. Trying to keep it a surprise. I think I'm more excited than anyone. Now I just have to get away from the puppy farm with only one pup (and not 2 - one for me. ha

Your puppy is soooo cute.

Those baskets are completely awesome. Way to go on making a knitted item I've never seen before! That's hard to do. They are really fun.

take care in Anoka.
