Argos the Greyhound

The holidays flew by and 2010 is off to a fast start. Let’s see… here’s what’s new since the last update.

We adopted Argos, a wonderful rescue Greyhound in December. He is fitting in beautifully with our other pets and human family, and we are in love with him.

I was inspired by my Twitter friends, local shelter open house events and the global Home for the Holidays campaign. I  interviewed Hilary Swank, the spokeswoman for this year’s adoption campaign last week, and almost 1.4 million animals were adopted! Yay!

Beads. I am still making them, but unfortunately, not having any time to list them in my neglected Etsy store. I am making lots of dog bones for a local shop, though and that has been going well. I have lots of beads on the workbench (oye the workbench! I must get organized…), so please feel free to contact me with questions or requests. I may have the bead you are looking for.

I will be having beads available this week though! It is part of a collaborative effort by my pal DrV on Twitter. I wrote about the Hounds For Haiti efforts and upcoming eBay auctions here.

These beads will be on eBay later this week - 100% of the proceeds to Red Cross/Haiti efforts.

Now I can wear my beach finds!

I have been making lots of dog bones for local outlets, and my Etsy listing time has suffered. I hope to list a few this week. Thank you for your patience. Questions? Requests? Please email me. Thanks!

We added 3 new chickens to the flock – Barred Rock hens. They are adorable. You can see videos of them here. Chicken cuteness with a couple of geese added in.

I have been busy posting on my AboutVetMed blog as well as keeping up on Twitter and Facebook happenings. Beads coming up later this morning. For now, some new photos.

I keep making new beads – lots of bone orders to work on – but what I really need to do is clean and organize my studio space. Started that task this weekend…

I fully expect to find all sorts of “new” glass and other goodies that have become misplaced over the years. For now, here are the latest beads.

PS – trying to do some image troubleshooting. The images in this blog look fuzzy to me. The exact same image is on my other blog, and it is sharp. Any ideas out there? Please email me if you have a tip or suggestion. Thanks! All I can think of is how the theme handles the image?
