Animal Kingdom

Wolfie on high alert, I had forgotten how much work it is raising a puppy!

Thank goodness our Alex is a good baby sitter, she helps me keep an eye on him.

He is into just about everything, but it's so worth it... isn't he too cute!

Julliette is still on the fence about having a baby brother to contend with but she is slowly coming around!

Never Doubt a Valentine

Doubt thou the stars are fire;

Doubt that the sun doth move;

Doubt truth to be a liar;

But never doubt I love. -Shakespeare
Happy Valentines Day!

WWC SPRING 2012!

WHERE WOMEN CREATE Spring 2012 is now out on bookshelves near you! It is a pastel breath of fresh air after a long cold Winter. How I love having the opportunity to contribute to this amazing, one of a kind publication!

It features some truly extraordinary creative women... such as Beth Quinn

and Elke Govertsen...

the fabulous and most musically inclined Jane Hunt,

and divine stitched fabric flowers Sania Pell stitches to everything, that is her tenderly upholstered chair featured on the cover.

Gorgeous and oh so wearable, colorful metal creations by the ever fantastic GoGo!
Be sure not to miss this just budding issue, whether you are searching for inspiration to redecorate your own creative stomping grounds or just want to discover the freshest new artist's to be found on our shores or abroad! WHERE WOMEN CREATE is one of those magazines you just have to dedicate a special permanent spot for because I can guarantee you will not be able to part with even a single issue!

Snips and Snails...

And puppy dog tails.... Meet Herr Wolfgang!

He is the newest member of our little family. In the two images above he is only 4 weeks old and weights about 1 lb.

Here he is at 8 weeks old. He is a teeny, munchkin (2 lb) lavender Chihuahua with blue green eyes.

He has a sweet disposition but very mischievous. A highly aware, smart and curious little guy.

Here he is with his big (4lb) sister Julliette... he's learning so much from her, like how to cheat us out of treats!

They are just getting to know each other.

He is now 11 weeks old and adjusting to his new home and family really well and I think he is quite content here with us.

Don't they look like bookends?! Julliette is being as patient as she can with him and all of his excessive puppy energy,

she even lets him cuddle a bit when he finally settles down!

Alexandria, our 2 year old Bengal is loving having a new playmate, she is a bundle of romping energy too! They run through the house playing chase and sound like a herd of elephants!

I love this shot of little "Wolfie" it really expresses his true inner personality, happy, fun loving, a tad bit reckless and jolly... a real easy going little rascal sort!

I don't think there is anything sweeter than a baby Chihuahua, yes my fur babies are my idea of Heaven!

Feliz Navidad!

Prospero ano y felicidad.

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas

from the bottom

of my

heart!
