Another needle basket...

I always suspected I'd end up like
this..... whiling away the hours making baskets, drooling and lip-diddling in the corner of a tiny room with 80 cats....

I got the cats part wrong. It's an 80# dog. And we're both drooling.....
But we're peaceful and content.....
May you all have 'enough'...

Your work is beautiful! Are you sure you never made these needle baskets until you came home from Florida? They look like you've been doing them for a very long time. Excellent work!

Two Dog Power Snow Sled

We've been getting lots of snow in Wisconsin this winter and have found that Ben, while having lots of energy, is just not enough dog power to haul Mr. Bee and my chunky butts around should it ever come down to that. What to do? What to do? So just to be on the safe side..... Here's our big surprise! Drumroll please! Meet Holli! Holli is a 4 year old boxer lab mix that we adopted from Madison Mutts yesterday. It's the same place we got Ben from last year and I just CANNOT say enough good things about them. They don't have a shelter. They operate out of a series of foster homes and the dogs are loved and treated really well until they can find a forever home. Holli has been through a lot lately. Her daddy loved her very much (he even sent along a video of her as a puppy...awwww!) but moved away and could not keep her. He gave her to Madison Mutts and then she was adopted out to a home with eight children who basically scared the crap out of her. Who could blame her! Eigh...

Diva Challenge: Use New Tangle Arukas!

Yesterday was a long, difficult day so I was pleased as punch to sit down with a couple of tiles and work on the Diva's Challenge for this week. Laura is back after a short sabbatical and her tangle this week was to use the newest Zentangle pattern 'Arukas', designed by Molly Hollibaugh. (See below.) A clever person at our Zentangle Artist's Coalition meeting realized that 'Arukas' is 'Sakura' (the name of the pens we use to Zentangle) backwards! This tangle has lots of possibilities. I made it BIG in the first tile.  And smaller in the second tile.  I wish I had doodled at the table like I usually do, but I was hunkered in the fetal position in the corner of my cozy nest with my snugglie woobie due to an excruciating Monday, so my lines are a lot wonkier than I'd like, but I LOVE the new pattern!  Thanks for another great challenge, Laura, and a great new pattern Molly!
