Flying Away...

Brynwood Needleworks - BW Woolen Acorn Pincushion

Another one of my exclusive BW Woolen Acorn Pincushions is heading on its way to a new home. I changed up my embroidery a bit, making it a little more intricate. I like how it turned out!
 
I'm not sure what's next on my agenda. I had a bit of a rough day yesterday, and it derailed me. I'll be back on track soon. I need to keep my hands and mind busy. Don't fret. I'll think of something fun. (I always do.)

Tuesdays With Tag - Caught Me By Surprise...

Brynwood Needleworks - Tag
 
Hi, Everybody!
 
I've gotta admit, yesterday took me by surprise. Mom said, "Ride!" to Boo and me, and we ran to the garage! We were in the car for about a half hour, and then Mom pulled into a parkin' lot. The Black Dog and I knew right away where we were...

Brynwood Needleworks - Our Vet's Office
 
Dang! Mom took the two of us to the vet's office. Once we were in our exam room, she explained it was time for my annual checkup, and Bella's vaccinations. Mom was a little worried about me because I yelped a couple days ago when she patted my back end, so that was on the list, too.
 
Brynwood Needleworks - Danger! Danger!
 
While we were waitin', I looked up at the counter and saw this thing. It is not my friend, so I hoped it wasn't for me. It turns out, they didn't use it, but I got somethin' even more humiliatin'. 
 
Dr. John checked my back end, and found another issue to deal with. Mom said it had somethin' to do with my "annual glands". It involved the vet squeezin' somethin' on my butt...and I wasn't amused even. one. bit. I do have to admit, though, I felt better after he was done. We got our shots, I got my toenails cut, and that other stuff, and then we went home with Mom. We're good for another year. Whew!

Meanwhile, that little punk was runnin' and fetchin' in Florida. She's havin' the time of her life. She doesn't have to tell us. Her mom and I have both been there. It's a vacation of the best kind. Good for her! snort
 
I'll see you again in seven. 'til then...

Ready For Assembly...

Brynwood Needleworks - Ltd. Ed. BW Woolen Acorn Pincushion - Detail
 
I did a little needle dancing yesterday, enjoying a restful afternoon and evening. I'm going to be spending less time at the computer, and more time in the studio doing what I love.

I'll be starting my day today with a routine trip to the vet for Tag's vaccinations, and a little check-up for Bella, but when I get back home, I'll assemble this embroidery into one of my limited edition woolen acorn pincushions for a client. It will be on its way to the new owner tomorrow.

I have a few things on my agenda to complete in the coming weeks, so I think I'll make a checklist. It's always so exciting to be able to tick off finished projects and see my progress. I'll do that first when I get back home.

Have a great week everybody. Spend some time doing what you love, and join me as I tune out all the tumult of the outside world. I've decided to cocoon myself here at the farmhouse...my happy place and create beautiful things.
