We'll be right back after these...

GAMES


It's impossible to refuse an invitation like this!


Let the games begin!


clamp down


lift off


smokin' 


and the proud winner is: Gizzy!

(Please say a little prayer or send good vibes to my Gizzy, because tomorrow morning, I'm taking him to the Vet for another chest x-ray to see how his heart is doing on the medication and a possible mole removal - Thank you!)

And now to explain the messy carpet - yes, I have been crocheting and have not vacuumed up the bits and pieces. I've been into Valentine's hearts.

I used 100% cotton on all of these, so they can be used either on the face/body or the dishes and I'm almost done listing them in my Etsy shop.








I really like the Filet crochet hearts. I found a pattern for one and now I can't stop making them!

I finished a couple of kitchen towel toppers:




I also crocheted a couple more doggy/cat sweaters:


The maroon colored one below sold already!



 I seriously have to go and walk the boy now. Yesterday it was raining, so we didn't go far and I think he's having withdrawals...afterwards, it's bathtime so we are both nice and clean for the Vet tomorrow. Arlene is taking us. Wish us luck!

    Nope, there is no way to refuse an invitation like that! :) He is so cute!

    Those sweaters you crocheted for him? You ought to sell them on Etsy. Do you?

    Good luck - hope you got your walk in. Doris your items are so nice - what talent you have. I haven't heard from you in awhile. How did Gizzy's doctor appointment go? How are you - we are stranded in the house - no school! Snow and ice.

    Love,

    Is it really Gizzy playing the games or is it you Doris, lol!
    At any rate he's always adorable!

    I love the heart dishcloths...too cute! Especially the square ones.

    I will send up prayers Dear Sister for sure, you can count on that!

    Blessings and Have a Beautiful Walk!

    all of my best wishes and hopes for Gizzy's vet visit. He's such a cutie.
    My peke used to play the grab and hold on but it was to my hair. I could literally walk around with him Teiki, attached to my head. What a knucklehead sweetheart he was.
    I love the filet hearts.

    I love your Valentines!!! Especially those lavender ones! What a great color choice. Giz is too cute when he wants to play!! What is his heart problem? I will say a little prayer for Giz that the visit goes well, and picture him in my mind when I do this. Especially that adorable first picture.
