I was pleased with how they came out, especially since I was able to repurpose them. Jenny has a whole new fall line coming out next week. I might let myself make a purchase this time since the quality is so nice. I don't know if she will have anything I need, but I am leaving the door open from my self imposed no spending.
Not much going on around here...just the heat of August. School is back in session for kids today. This means I am starting the 4th year of retirement. There will always be a teacher in me, but the season is right to be home. Funny how retirement came right when I would be needed by mom.
I did some rearranging in the living room yesterday to make room for the new kennel. I really think Gus won't care for a kennel home down the road. He goes in there with ease, but he doesn't seem to really care about it. Lucy was like that as well. Lemony loves hers. She considers it her little spot in this world.
I repotted some houseplants yesterday. Growing houseplants is not necessarily an easy thing, but I love the look of them. They don't stay the same size which means adjusting things or they die which leaves a hole. I sometimes wonder why I go to all the trouble.
Gus is 9 weeks old today. He has been a wonderful puppy. He is really so pleasant. Lemony has taken to him which is just so her. She is the sweetest dog ever. She can't really play with him yet, because his puppy teeth are like razors. My arms bear the marks of those razors. She is letting him lay with her when he gets tired though. I have caught them laying together several times.
What shall I do to celebrate being at home rather than in school today? I don't know, but I am sure I will think of something.

I had to smile at your comment about remembering the mistakes you made with the first pillow. Live and learn. They look great and your sofa looks brand new. I think the leather reconditioning was a great idea. I had never heard of it before your post. Those sweet doggies...I am glad you are finding it easy to train Gus. Isn't it amazing how all dogs are different just like people. Our Taffy was a high maintenance Cocker Spaniel. She required so much attention, in fact demanded it.:) I do not think that is the breed for me...I grew up with coon hounds and English Shepherds so those are my favorites in my mind. Living in a town house and going to GA so much, Dogs are just not in the cards for us. We do love our next door neighbor's dog, Molly Grace, a sweet black lab. Thankful that the Jones' let us enjoy their pet.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be doing a lot of that live and learn these days. I guess you are never too old to make lots of mistakes.
DeleteIf I were even one year older I wouldn't have got Gus. I am not saying we are old, but it takes a lot to take care of a puppy. I honestly thought Lucy and Lemony would take me to 60 years old and that would be it. I didn't plan on her being so sick and going early for an ESS. He is a good calm one...I hope that continues.
I am SO glad I redid that couch. It does look amazing and I love it. I really felt like a got a new one with the conditioning. I am taking good care of it.
Love the pictures of Lemony and Gus together! I hope they become great friends once some of Gus' "puppiness" wears off. Your pillows turned out lovely. I hope you put in a few stitches since you didn't have to report to school today.
ReplyDeleteI did put in a few stitches today. Relaxing day too.
DeleteYour puppies look so happy together!
ReplyDeleteYou won't miss teaching after awhile. I sure don't.
I don't really miss it, but still feel the need to mark it somehow. Hopefully, that will disappear too.
DeleteThe pillows are lovely and the dogs so sweet.
