I'm one of those moms

One of those, who can't keep the camera down and needs to take pictures of her puppies every minute of their life and share it with the world.

Toby is always so excited to find a "good" stick that we need to take a break from our walks.

                        



There are only so many yards in the neighborhood, where the grass is really soft. Toby can tell you exactly which ones those are. He is rolling around or stops for a quick break each time we pass them.


He got the addiction for shoes from his mommy...

            

and has the weirdest sleeping positions (from his dad, I assume! :) )

        
  
 Sucking on wet dish towels if nothing else is around to chew on.


They love peanut butter and bones with any kind of filling


Sometimes even my hand for a different flavor :)


Toby is teething right now, losing teeth left and right.
So far I found two

Trying to keep Toby happy in his crate by giving him more space 


But its just not what he was looking for. So last week I decided on not crating Toby anymore and to give him a little more space to roam. I closed off the bathroom with a babygate, closed the closet door and thought he will be good to go. Plan not made with that little energetic bundle. First day, he locked himself in the closet by pushing open the door. The door closed and Toby was in the pitch black closet for couple hours playing with the hamper, bath mat and my gym clothes. He was so relieved when I finally came home and opened the door.

Repeat for day two!

Day three, the closet door finally stayed close, but this time he ran through the babygate having the time of his life in our bedroom (heating pad and cord destroyed, camera strap and plastic piece broken, his bed all over the floor, cell phone charger cord in pieces...)


We now have a very clean bed- and bathroom, so he might not be able to find anything besides the toys dedicated to him, to play with. Lets see how week two of not being crated goes.
(the babygate was taken down, after he decided to just jump over it)

Hanging out on the stairs



Steele coming home (very stinky) from a bachelor party weekend with daddy.
After his bath Brian dried him off with my hair dryer


 and off we go with some more play time,


Every time Toby and Steele play and it gets to rough, Toby hides under the bed (not sure how much longer he is getting away with that. Its getting really tight.) He also does that when having something in his mouth he is not supposed to have.


Already having a hard time crawling out


And then there is the time when they are just good, listen to you and are the cutest dogs in the whole wide world


  

 Happy Hump Day!

Wing Chair Recovery - Part II

Image
Only for those of you who already forgot how the wing chair looked when I first got it, here is a picutre which I took in the thrift store! For the amazing price of $18 it is all mine.   Too nasty to sit in, I first ripped off all of the fabric, (I'll spare you the details, since I blogged about that before ) layed the old fabric out, cut the new fabric pieces a little bigger than the old ones and made little fabric piles. I bought about 9' of fabric online at http://www.fabric.com/  I kept all of the old buttons, cut little circles and sewed fabric on each of them. I can tell you, that was my least favorite part.    After all 27 buttons were done, the back seat was the first piece that I re-buttoned.   The buttons go all the way through the fabric and cushion - the back part gets spread apart and rests on the foam. I put the cushion in place and stapled it firm to the back. Repeated all those steps ...

Ruffled Pillow

Image
I feel like its time for a pillow fight with all the pillows I have made this past year. The last one of the year is a white one After the pillow was all done, I started to cut some felt circles, glued them onto fabric with liquid stitch. I cut all the different sizes of circles out, laid them on top of each other and hand stitched them together. For the middle of the pillow I decided on having a ruffled band. For that I used my ruffler attachment on the sewing machine. It is so easy, I don't know why I waited a year to try it out. I sewed the ruffled band to the pillow and laid the six circles on it to see how I need to space them out.             For four circles I decided to make flowers. I stitched the outside of each fabric circle and knotted the thread after pulling it together until a flower like circle appeared. Did that to all layers and hot glued a shiny button.  ...

The Nursery - Final reveal

Image
  I know you couldn't wait any longer to find out if we are going to have a boy or girl. I don't keep it any longer from you, I promise.   Both of us wanted a boy, but really just a healthy little baby is all we asked for.   Since I don't count to the younger childbearing generation anymore, there were some tests that I had to do. One of them is for down syndrome. Scary stuff, let me tell you. With that test though, you can find out the gender and when I received the call with the results, I immediately started crying. Happy and over the moon that the baby is completely healthy but totally in shock that it is a.... CAN YOU SAY BOY???   No wonder I have hair growing like crazy in my face, all this testosterone in me probably doesn't help the weirdest pregnancy outcomes. At least (so far) I haven't been too bitchy, hormonal. Don't ask Brian though, he would probably tell you differently.   I called Brian to tell him and the only thing he sa...
