Once again, I am trying to organize the wool room. Any more, it seems like it always needs help! I was trying to get some semblance of order in the closet and came upon a little brown bag. In the bag was this tiny putz sheep.
He is only about 1 3/4" inches tall. The sad part is that I have absolutely NO recollection of purchasing him. I mean no idea of where or when. That scares me!!!
Yesterday at the Hinckley Reservation, part of the Cleveland Metroparks system, they had their annual dog paddle. They drain about half the pool and humans can take their furbabies for a swim. At any given time there had to a hundred dogs in the pool.
Annie and I were there to help at the Ohio Pug Rescue booth and to hopefully find Annie's furever home. We do not do on-site adoptions, but I don't think anyone fell in love with her . . . sigh. Maybe next time :)
A few random pug pictures . . .

In the wool closet I also found this little wool applique kit I purchased in 1996, complete with sales receipt. The projects include a pillow, heart pin, picture and a pincushion. The wool is a bit bright but I'm sure could be toned down with a little coffee or tea. I know I will never make it, so if anyone is interested, leave me a comment. (Please be sure to state that you are interested.) If more than one person is interested, I will draw a name on Thursday night.
I've changed a couple of my blog settings, so if you have any problems leaving a comment, please let me know. (I'm hoping this will help you, Doris.) I will also no longer allow anonymous comments. I was just getting more and more garbage comments. If you wish to remain anonymous, in lieu of leaving me a comment, you can send me an email.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

What a great idea for the pups! Looks like everyone was having fun. Glad to see I'm not the only one that keeps projects for years!
ReplyDeleteHope all the doggies got along in that pool! Glad you found your little sheep - Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday! LOL. Since I have more than my fair share of unfinished projects, please don't enter my name in your drawing - it is however a very thoughtful idea. ~Ann
ReplyDeleteAll busy people forget things, Lauren! Not to worry!
ReplyDeleteLove the furbabies in the pool picture...great idea.
Good luck on the wool room...it's worth it.
I have about 20 projects started, so I'll not request the cute applique kit...you are very generous!
Hugs,
Linda
Waaaah! Those 'senior moments' are scary! My sisters and I always say that we're saving our minds for the really big stuff. Whatever that may be!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that the doggies get to take a splash in the pool.
Love the pug butts!
Laruen,
ReplyDeleteLove all the puppies in the pool! how fun is that!!! buying things we can't remember...hehe... I think it happens to all of us...happy creating! OLM
Oh, I don't like it when that happens. It is scary to have no memory of it at all. It has happened a time or two to me and I still wonder how I was continuing to be sane.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at my wool box yesterday and thinking I really need to get with it and do some organizing again.
So sorry Annie hasn't found a home. She is a cutie pie.
So sorry you got mean comments. I wonder why people do that kind of thing. I have gotten a few and always wonder about the people that leave them. :)
Have a very nice week this week.
Love that little sheep! I have found stuff I forgot I bought (halloween bottle cap ornaments). And yes, I found them in a little brown paper bag! lol! The pic with everyone wading in the pool with their pups is so cool! Looks to be a fun day!

Oh I so feel your pain. But I figure, in a few years I won't have to shop anymore....I'll just open closets and boxes and such and be amazed at the things I didn't know I had. :o
ReplyDeleteToo many stitcheries on my dance card at this point, so no need to count me in on your sweet offering....but, hey, if you're offering up the Putz, count me in. ;o) (JUST KIDDING!)

I was getting the same thing with people who have the 'no-reply' anonymous e-mails and put them in my blocked senders list because I don't know who they are. So then for a while no one with a no-reply could post. But lately it seems the time lapsed and am getting comments from them again. Will see how it goes and maybe I'll do what you did.

ReplyDeleteOh don't count me in for this giveaway not sure I would have time to put it to good use.
Very cute pattern, I am interested in it. Always enjoying your cute pug pictures.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed the pictures of the doggie swim party! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThink of finding the sheep as a gift, not as a "omg I am losing my mind".. lol
ReplyDeleteI am interested ... thanks for a chance
Hi Lauren, cute sheep, but I also do the same thing, tuck away and forget, then find. Still pray sweet Annie finds a forever home, love the Pug butts, to cute. Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have found a hidden treasure. What a fun outing for the dogs and their humans. Perhaps when you least expect it Annie will find her forever home. Somebody will fall for that sweet little face. Have a good evening, Julie.
