Dunkin Cups for Deserving Pups

4/8/2024

0 Comments

 
Do you love spoiling your pets? I do, and I absolutely take so much joy in this guilty pleasure. 
Picture
Without a question, Hans is the bestest best boy in being a good boy. Ein is the smartest and cuddliest boy, no doubt, but I hate to admit that he is a little poop. However, I take great pride and joy with these two furbabies and I really wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. I think they deserve the best, as should all our future pets.

Hello Wisconsin: Spring Snow

4/7/2024

0 Comments

 
I've always loved the white snow and how pretty it is, but I have to admit I am so very ready for summer. In contrary to a lot of folks, I don't really like spring of all the seasons. I like the thunderstorms and coziness, but it's wet and muddy, and my puppies bring all the chaos into the house. Well this time, I'm not so sure - March was ending and we got quite some snow.​
Picture
Puppies seems to be enjoying this!
The four seasons could be quite unpredictable - that's definitely something I learned when I moved here to the US. It's not really an unusual sight to get snow, or even a blizzard, well into spring.

My Puppy Themed Office & Mabel Chickens

2/25/2024

0 Comments

 
I started working from home when the COVID19 pandemic started in 2020, around the first week of March. It was also during that time that I got hired into a new position (in the same company) and my work-from-home status has been permanent since. Not long after that, we purchased the same home we've been renting and I've always planned to have one of the room upstairs become my home office. After I painted it and moved my office up there, I really didn't get to decorate it much. I had my desk, and it was pretty much occupied by the guinea pigs and the cat, then later the chicks. It was more of a pet room and office hybrid.

After three years, it's time to add a little pizzaz...

Art: Printing on Canvas

2/11/2024

0 Comments

 
As a continuation of last week's endeavors - of course I spent all my Saturday crocheting while watching Law & Order: SVU. Today was a bit more productive... hooray! I also dealt with things that needed closure - I went ahead and cleaned up Gypsie's litter box and put away her things. It's still in my kitchen upstairs, all cleaned up but still there. I'm probably going to repurpose the litter boxes as dust bath bins for my Chimki-saurus so they go to a good cause.

I've been planning to order a canvas print for her and commissioned some art work. While I may still end up doing that, I went ahead and tried printing on canvas. Guess what? It worked!

Art: Sublimation Experiments

2/7/2024

So last weekend's goal was to be productive, and do something else other than crocheting random things. So this time, I decided to start up my heat press and try some sublimation projects. I almost never touch my sublimation printer nor do I really sublimate anything. During the process of impulsively getting into sublimation, I learned that I can only sublimate on polyester (or poly coated) material; and that polyester items are quite pricey probably for this exact reason. Anyways, I love Bella Canvas, but they are mostly cotton so I just didn't want to purchase new shirts to sublimate and the hype died down. And as always, I moved on to a new craft or went back to the previous many ones.

Here's what I decided to try last Friday!

It Feels A Tad Bit Lonely

1/27/2024

0 Comments

 
I haven't spent much time upstairs in the past few weeks, let alone this week. I never thought that Gypsie's passing would make the house feel a lot empty. She was a small cat with a big presence. I already spend my whole day at work up here, but I really couldn't bring myself to hang out in my craft room. It feels alone, and I really didn't have the initiative to do anything else.

Here I am with not much words to say. Just lost in thought. It's been a week, I haven't heard any meows, paws on my leg for treats. I miss her dearly.

Chimkin Update

9/9/2023

The girls are doing great, and finally got to name them. I invited our neighbor, Katie, to check them out and had her name one of them. Now I have my lovely ladies - Phyllis (supposedly a Jersey Giant), Ethel (Easter Egger), and Rose (Easter Egger). I don't think I will be naming the others, the Welsummers all look the same lol. I was told that I should put a foot tag on them, which I do have, but I don't know yet.

I Finally Have Chimkins

8/5/2023

FINALLY! After many, many years of thinking about it, planning to get it, then not pushing through - it's finally happened!

I'm officially a proud chicken mama!
Picture
In case you're unaware, I've always loved chickens. I really don't know why, or what triggered it but I've always liked having them. When I was a kid, I remember that you can win them in these raffle carts that were just outside our school. I remember that I couldn't win any - so I tracked down the hatchery (by me, a then-11 year old, forcing the raffle vendors to tell me LOL) and went there to buy two chicks. I came home with chicks .

Sunny Sunday

5/7/2023

0 Comments

 
it's another wonderful day! It's sunny out and I'm here crafting to forget about the Earth's stressors. I wish everyday was a beautiful Sunday (or Saturday).
Picture
On rare occasions, Gypie, our senior cat comes to join in a wishful attempt to go outside. Unfortunately, she's never been really outside (we took her in at 17 years old, she's now turning 20) so I don't think it's much of a good idea to let her try this late in her life.

A Delayed but Cold Winter

2/4/2023

1 Comment

 
Winter came late, but dang it's cold!

It usually starts to get pretty cold by the end of November, and snow usually picks up by that time and heavy snow starts by mid to late December - that is, at least, in my experience being here in Wisconsin the last eight years. I had a family photo shoot scheduled for December 10th last year, and I had to reschedule it because surprisingly there was no snow.
Picture
The snow came mid-January, and oh the boys are happy! Well, Ein is happy but I don't know about Hans. He does not like the rain or the cold, but ironically he loves swimming and the snow. Weird pup.

Bouncing Back & Life Balance

8/27/2022

1 Comment

 
Finally, the weekend! Still not feeling 100% great, but we're getting there. So thankful I work from home and don't have to do manual labor, but the brain is also not at its finest so it could be draining. Perks of WFH - I'm gross and stinky, but can still go to work. Non-perks of WFH - I'm gross and stinky and still have to go to work.  I'm pretty much behind everything I want to get done, but I think pushing myself during work days and barely sleeping definitely kicked my immune system to the garbage.

Before we move forward, the puppers wanted to share some love ♥

Happy 4th and Puppy Photoshoot

7/5/2022

Maybe it's a little late, but here we go...

HAPPY 4TH!
Picture
The puppy photoshoot was a little bit of a struggle. I didn't really plan any of this but I wanted to do a little bit of puppy celebration. We spent pretty much the whole day with Bear and his mom. It was a great day, he finally took her on a ride on the new bike but it was a bit short lived because it rained. I made my ribs, I think I will make it official that I'm the rib-bearer lol. For some reason I really enjoy making ribs so I think that's something I'll be sharing soon.

It's that most wonderful time of the year....

Merry Yule!

I definitely love this season, and this year we celebrated Yule as a family, away from home, in a small, cozy cabin by the Brule River right on the border of Wisconsin and Michigan.

    Hey, it's me!

    I've always loved to write. Not saying I'm good at it, but hey this is the story of my life!

    I blog about life updates, travels, things that I love, and of course my puppies Hans & Ein! 

    I also do quick reviews of things for the normal folk. I don't do super comprehensive reviews (maybe some) - that's a job for the pros. But if you like simple and straight forward observations - then here's my two cents.
