Project 365 - Janie with Cone


Janie has a sore toe that she keeps licking and will not leave alone. I took her to the vet, and they suggested we try putting a cone on her so she can't lick her toe. Nice idea, but these things are obviously not made for greyhounds. Her nose and legs are so long that she can still get to the toe, so after 2 days we took the cone off. She hated it and tried everything to get it off. Here she is pouting because mean mommy is taking an embarrassing picture. ;) She is on antibiotics, so hopefully her toe will heal quickly and she will leave it alone.

Project 365 - Ice Skate Dishcloth

I am so addicted to knitting dishcloths. I have learned so much from them. I belong to an online group that does two knit-a-longs (KALs) each month. This is the first one for 2009. Last year I completed all 24 dishcloths for the year.

Project 365 - FlyLady Timer


I use my timer every day to keep my self on track and keep from getting sidetracked for too long. I learned this from FlyLady. When I have something I don't want to do (like cleaning), I set the timer for 15 minutes. If I want to continue after that I can, and this is what usually happens. But, if I feel like stopping, I give myself permission to do so. "I can do anything for 15 minutes." :) Most of the time on weekends I will do 15 minutes of fun and then 15 minutes of work and then 15 minutes of fun again. It really helps me get a lot done.

Project 365 - Crucifix

I think this crucifix in my church is so beautiful! I love the style, and I especially love the colors.

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again!

Project 365 - Bunny Teapot

My stuffed bunny, John John, gave me this lovely bunny teapot for Christmas. I love blue and white china, and I love bunnies, so this was a perfect gift. The top part is the tea pot, and the bottom part is the tea cup.

Project 365 - Peaches & Creme Yarn Order

I am an avid dishcloth knitter, and I just placed an order at Peaches & Creme for some yarn for the monthly knit-a-long (KAL), and I also ordered some cones and some grab bags. I am in yarn heaven. I will post all of the items individually later.

Project 365 - Wallet


I love my wallet because it has a flower on it, and it is made with bright colors. I wish I had a purse to match it! The wallet was made by Fossil, and I got it on sale for only $12! There is not usually much in it, but I love it anyway. ;)

Project 365 - Hope


Romans 8:24-25
For in HOPE we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Project 365 - Big Pile of Stuffies


In our house, our "stuffies" are "real people" and we make them talk. It sounds crazy, I know, but it is a lot of fun. Here's a big pile of our stuffies for you to enjoy. ;)
