Dog Days Of Summer // Dogs On Thursday

Category : Journal

Ebby and I have been staying indoors of late, because if it is not 90+ outside, it is pouring down rain.  We hope everyone in the northern hemisphere is having a great summer 2009!

Hot Dog!

I thought this would be a fitting post for my Dogs on Thursday entry, so…
Time to go!

A Dog in a Czech Costume // Ebby Gets Fancy

Category : Featured, Journal

Well, it is time for my Dogs on Thursday post again and I have been promising photos of Ebby’s kroj.  I made the pattern up from scratch and tried to make it match my costume as much as possible.  It was a lot of fun to put together and made me think of sewing doll clothes.  She is such a ham and she really doesn’t mind looking goofy for her mom.  She will be attending the National Polka Festival with me in May and we will have photos.  Until then here you go:

Look at me, I'm fancy!

Look at me, I'm fancy!

One photo is just not enough!

Yesterday, I received a package in the mail from Jaimi at Plays With Yarn!  It is a beautiful skein of Smooshy sock yarn that I won by entering a contest on her blog.  Whoo hoo!

Yummy!

As for the Dog on Thursday…this is the way I found him when I came out of the kitchen this morning…

He does that. He does that.

He does that…
