Sick puppy!
I have a sick little doggy! The last couple of days he's not been feelin to well! His name is lucky he is my constant companion and cheer leader. Funny I know cheer leader but his personality is almost always happy and so full of energy. Par for the course cause he is a Jack Russel. He is also a pound puppy. I got him about 6 years ago right after my divorce. He was too skinny had too many fleas and was a constant barker at anything. We took care of all of the above and he truly is one of the best dogs ever. Just try and keep him away from a little child, or an elderly person or for that matter anyone. If the horses or llamas are out no problem he also thinks he's a huge sheep dogs and herds everyone back inside the fence. He knows too many tricks to mention, and he is my lap doggy and ( don't tell) also my sleeping buddy. He's the reason I own a king size bed.
But he's been off his food a couple of days and I've noticed a little gassy, this is a good indication of tummy troubles . If he s not better by Monday we will head off to the vet he did this sme thing earlier in the summer. It's so hard to know when a pet is not feeling well. He sure likes to have his share of outdoor snacks of the barnyard variety,I am sure this isn't good for anyone's tummy but it seems as though all doggies like these little snacks.
Still just makes me feel aweful when we have an animal not feelin well. We take this for granted the happy little selves. I could fill a whole book on the funny things he has done.
We never hear compliants from our furry friends, no I've got a headache, my muscles are sore, I over did it today, I'm too cold too hot, Iam bored! No they are just always there making our lives a little easier, a little less stressful. Unconditional bundles of love.

A moment to breathe!
Well here it is Sunday ! And do I ever need a moment to reflect its today! So much goung on right now! The Christmas village is over not sure I would do it again but it was so much fun talking about the shop and meeting new people. I am so tired! Thankful I have one more day till I go back to work. This week at school is a busy one. We have our annual ( for 50 years) stone soup dinner and play. The children are so excited some know what a play is some do not and are ready to learn. Its so much fun. But I've been known to say its like corralling squirrels! And well it is!
My house is a wreck again. How does that happen , oh yeah for the last two weeks we've been using it as a workshop! So today I will be doing loads of laundry and putting things away. And just in case you ever wonder yes your claw foot bath tub will recover from scrubbing old barn wood in it nothing a little bar keepers friend won't fix!
How is it all of the sudden I can't find a pair of jeans I own to fit me? I've only gained about ten pounds and Iam right where I want to be. But none of my jeans fit! Eeeeeeek that means I have to go shopping and when am I going to do that? I wonder? And what will I wear? Yoga pants!
My ADD seems to be kicking in real good this morning maybe time for another cup of coffee! Well my original post was supposed to be about Household Institute china Priscilla pattern to be exact . Lots of years ago from some sale somewhere I purchased two bowls of this pattern. I fell in love. I have a nice old mixing bowl collection. Well one did get broke.... But I still have one. I love the shape and size of it and how it feels when I mix brownies in it. And of course when I use it I always wonder of its original owner and how she came to have it? And who will have it after me?
But last week while browsing a thrift shop I found a small dinner plate and 3 tea cups of the same pattern. They didn't make it to the shop. This is the hazards of starting a shop. So now in the mornings when I have my coffee I've been using the little cups! It's the little things that bring me joy!

Christmas village !
Well after crafting, for a week , and painting everything in sight , we are almost at the end of the 2 day " craft show"! What an education. I've met so many nice people and these woman are TALENTED ! Doing a local show was nice I got to see many old friends I have not seen in years! It was a nice way to advertise for the shop. And a real confidence booster. Lots of kind complements. It's so hard to know your customers likes and this was a nice way to see what people are looking for. And it gave me a little momentum for the open house next sat. In New Paris! The best thing for sure about this weekend is I met a wonderful family from my little town and it will be even more fun to get to know them . There son is an old soul at 11 years old and has inspired me to join our historical society . Who knew?

Fall morning!
The sun has come out to play this fall morning! I've been super busy getting items ready for a craft show coming up! My friends urged me to go! Good advertising, but I didn't have much in the way of " craft" items so I've ( we) have been getting our craft on and up cycling everything that's not nailed down! So for now enjoy this fall weather! I'll try and post some pics of craftiness soon!
