Once again, my blog has gathered quite a bit of digital dust. I didn't get around to posting about Halloween or Thanksgiving or even any Christmas related things, or the projects in between. I've been busy with work and life and the blog is the easiest item to put on the back burner. I feel… Continue reading Oh, Jackson

Somebody will wear my handknits!
Almost by surprise, the weather has turned windy and cool - very fall like, and we knew (and hoped) it was coming, but somehow it is a shock to the system. The heat is on and I have been pulling out my handknits to wear - I love to layer with the scarves and shawls-as-scarves.… Continue reading Somebody will wear my handknits!
Hello September!
While I have some difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that it is indeed September, I am more than ready for it. I love summer, I really do - but heat waves I cannot stand. I have had enough - I am ready for cool breezes, layers, cups of tea in the afternoon and… Continue reading Hello September!
Oh Buddy, You’re In Trouble
The other night, my father-in-law came over so we all went outside to say hello and help move some things. We left Jackson inside. The Lorax and I played outside for a bit when Dan and his dad left. We came inside to get something and Jackson was no where to be found. He didn't… Continue reading Oh Buddy, You’re In Trouble
Help a Dachshund!

There is some stretch and it works well with the variegated yarn. The yarn, by the way, is Intention Yarns in the "Simplicity"… Continue reading Guy Socks
Dachshund Noses
Jackson hasn't gotten much play in the blog lately - yesterday he tolerated my playing around with the camera. Macro / SuperMacro + Dachshund Noses = fun photos!Made with BigHugeLabs.com Mosaic Maker. He's been a good dog lately - barky, as always, but it's what he does. He's very good with Lorelai - loves when… Continue reading Dachshund Noses
What a Week!
There almost aren't even words to sum up the past week - things have been a little wacky, but a lot of fun! It's official - my brother is married, and I have a sister! I am so happy for them - you know the scene in "Muppets Take Manhattan" at the end, where Piggy… Continue reading What a Week!
Big or Small, Leash your dog!
This story strikes close to home because it happened in CT and happened to a dachshund 🙁 Woman, Dog Attacked by RottweilerI'm a dog person. Love dogs. All breeds, even though there are some I would not keep as a pet, that's my own opinion. It's so sad when something like this happens.
