Phoebes Big Adventure Weekend...

It's been almost two years since we brought Phoebe into our lives.
She's changed so much.
Her people anxiety has lessened.
She loves D and will seek him out for attention.

She killed a bunny, but we won't talk about that here...

And last weekend we were invited out to a family cabin and were told Phoebe could come along.

Well you can imagine my anxiety at this venture.
She has rules and sometimes people think they know better than my rules.

Well that wasn't an issue.
I didn't make it a huge issue.
Phoebe shined like the rockstar she has become.

It was a weekend of firsts and discoveries.

1. Her first food truck and brewery all in one night.



2. Her first ferry boat ride. 
3. Her first time sleeping in a camping trailer.
4. Her first view of Mason Lake, and being the notoriously nosy/curious dogs that boxers are, this deck was right up her alley and then she discovered...
5. Her first Sun Lounger
 weekend snuggles at home will never be the same after last weekend. 
6. Her first Pontoon Boat ride

She did great.
She fell in love with our hosts husband.
She did not like going into the water. Showed a little concern when I did.
She loved chilling on the deck on the lounger every chance she got.

She crashed hard Sunday when we got home, I think both of us were asleep by 6:00 p.m.

Can't wait for more adventures with our sweet boxer girl.
Every adventure we have even if it's chasing critters in the yard has shaped her into the sweetest boxer girl.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
