What are you doing this weekend??

If you're in the Twin Cities & you love dogs & think craft fairs are a great place to get great gifts then boy do I have something you MUST put on your calendar!!

This Sunday, November 20th from noon-4pm the St Paul Minneapolis Bulldog Club will be holding it's first ever "Barktique" in White Bear Lake!  What's a Barktique you ask...well, think Boutique with goodies & gifts for dog owners & dogs!!!  Get it??  BARK-TIQUE?? 

So many of our own club members in addition to other talented dog lovers will have their own handmade items for sale & I must say we do have a talented group of people!!  Yours truly will even have a few different items at the Barktique...want a sneak peak of some of the items??

There will be beauitfully hand drawn breed note cards

Really cute jewelry items

Wonderfully warm afghans in both baby & adult sizes

I plan on having some wristlets, tote bags & coin purses too!  So far many are a work in progress (mostly because my sewing machine --aka Kenny--decided to pull an attitude this weekend), but you'll get the idea & see the cutest fabrics I've been working with!!

So come one, come all!  Come to the Barktique!!!

Thanks Veterans

We would like to thank all our service men & women & their families for their sacrifices for our freedom!  Thank you!!

Happy Veteran's Day!

Happy Bulloween Everybully!!!

Yay!!  What's more fun than having 3 super cute bullies??  Dressing up said cute bullies for Bulloween!!! 

In past years we've had:

a Cop

a Bullerina

a King

a Bumbledoc

a Bunch of Bananas

A Bat, Butterfly & another Bat

This year we went a somewhat traditional route in the costume department.  Meet my Pumpkin Patch!!

We really hope you all had a safe & fun Bulloween!!  What did you/your bullies dress up as??  We'd love to see photos!!

Wordless Wednesday

Bulldog Camo

I found Minnie's Canine Cousin....

Vivi Mouse!!

:0)

Our bulldog club had its Halloween Party Sunday & I wasn't sure what Vivian wanted to be so I put this together for her...

Awww...a bully after my own Disney heart!!
 

Happy early Halloween everyone!

Sadly...none of the items that may scream "Halloween Costume" were purchased for such...I honestly just had the ears, the dress (a recent $3 find at Petco) & my headband on hand...not sure why I'm telling you that, makes me look weird doesn't it?  :0)

Have no fear, the boys will be dressed up for the actual holiday!  Hmmm...what WILL they be?????? 

Weekend Recap

Ahhh...one guess at what I did this weekend??

If you guessed dog show, you're correct.  Love my after-show naps, especially when I have my nap buddies keeping me company.  Vivi & I had some early mornings to drive to Iowa this weekend & the drive was nice & uneventful.  We don't have anything more to report on the show though...so the highlight was this nap & some good breakfasts w/great bulldoggers!

This week it got colder again in MN.  Boo!  Yesterday morning it was 40 degrees as I was driving to Iowa...no good.  The week before it was in the mid-to-upper 80s...it was heavenly.  I took these photos last week...glad I did, the majority of the leaves are now at the compost site (thanks Steve!).  The tree was really pretty this year!

This weekend also brought out some tears.  Two good friends lost their doggies to the rainbow bridge.  My heart aches for them both & their losses remind me of how thankful I am for any time with my bullies & kitties and I will enjoy every second I have with them.

Hope you all had a great weekend & hug your bullies/doggies/kitties!!

Wordless Wednesday

...well almost...maybe someday I'll do a true Wordless Wednesday.

"Momma-seriously??"
