Faye!!!!

As I love my dog an unhealthy amount, I have to share with everyone a random fact...Faye came to live with me 5 years ago this month...yay Faye! Above is little Faye when she first came to live at my house in November of 2003, when my friend Riann was visiting and we stole her from my mom...my mom still has Faye's mom Wiggles, her brother Redford and sister Camille. Her other litter mates, who are twins will actually be visiting my moms house this week end...but anyway...Faye and I have had a lovely 5 years together...and here we are today...



oh little Faye...

Late night studio happenings...

So I had to share this, as Shanley and I thought it was funny enough to document, there's a chance its funny enough to share. So about two weeks ago after we returned from a night on the town...that parts funny enough on its own as our town is really small and yet happening enough that I think we made the rounds and visited a handful of bar & restaurants before we made our way back to my studio for girl talk/night summarizing and...dog grooming? Faye tends to get talons quickly and hates it when I cut her nails, so to remedy the dagger nail, I absentmindedly grabbed a file and was filing away while we gabbed...until Shanley realized what I was doing and snapped a photo...


...admittedly the best part is that Faye is sticking her tongue out...I don't think she appreciates being teased about her grooming needs...

The rest of the I'm A Flirt Earrings

What on earth have I been doing that I have not put these up yet!?! We'll blame family and friends who have been been taking over my life from Friday evening at 5 until about four hours ago...

Well, all is back to normal for a few days so I can tie up all loose ends and get back on schedule...speaking of which I walked Faye this afternoon after 5 days off and decided it was that time to start running without her...basically when I get back into running in the warmer months I have to leave Faye at home so she doesn't have a heart attack. This evening I went by myself and enjoyed an awesome 3 mile run...nothing big, just enjoyed the cool air and the feeling of running hills without fearing that my dog will demise.

I am accomplishing things left and right today! Here are the rest of the I'm A Flirt Earrings, there are 6 colors total and all already posted on Manic Trout.






Now if only those new charms would ever arrive I could finish and post the other 5 Let's Stay Together Necklaces...

A camera-less existence

Well actually, the camera is fine...the software is not...sadly, when I upgraded I was not prepared for a few software glitches and did not have the upgrades already here. I had to order some new software and until it gets here I cannot upload anything. sad. I had a post about a whole pile of photos I recently bought from Etsy all ready to go on Friday too...all that was left was adding the photos of them displayed...but alas, no dice.

Well, I do have tons of photos from the past...so I will work from those. Did I mention last week that it was Faye's birthday? Yes, my darling dog turned turned 6 on March 11th. In case you have never formally met her, I will share my favorite photo that I call "This is Faye"


Judging from the length of my hair, this was taken a while ago, but she has not changed at all in the year or so since that photo!
