Puppies!

My puppies are my life. They are my children. Lola is the smallest and she is the mom. Kato is the dad and he's the big one. Jujube is their baby. They bring me countless hours of love and entertainment.

Here they are at the beach, having fun digging and walking in the sun.


And doing what they do best. Lounging around.....

Totebags! Totebags! Totebags!

For some reason, I am always doing totebags and for some reason, I always ending up cussing half way through. Here are a few of my favorites.

Crafty Goodness

I'm not sure why I love her so much. She reminds me of the vintage women bud vases. I did her for a swap that I am in. I think I may have to make on for myself.

So how long is that?

Client: How long is the program?
me: 48 weeks
Client: So how long is 48 weeks
me: Why don't you tell me how long you think 48 weeks is
Client: ummm, I don't know....48?
me: Wow! Yep, exactly. The program is 48 weeks.

This is what I have to deal with. Now, don't get me wrong. I love my job(s). I love working in social services but really dude? C'mon, Seriously?
