Cast of characters



This is Cally dog and Toby cat. As you can see they enjoyed hanging out together. Cally dog died last fall-she lived to be 13 and 1/2. The vet actually told me she only had a few months to live when she was 10 but she beat the odds. She only had a few bad days in all. She was an exceptional dog. Toby has a new sister now. Her name is Maddy Joy and she is a chocolate lab I got from the local Humane Society last Spring. Toby keeps trying to snuggle with her, but she won't have it. She is a very sweet dog, 6 years old and she is convinced she is a lap dog even though she weighs 70 lbs. She has to have her cuddle time daily. She gets along great with the cats ( Toby and Gracie) and little Napoleon ( a papillion I'm fostering for a friend) but she remembers that Toby swiped at her a couple of times and she hasn't entirely forgiven him. Toby is 15 and 1/2 now and I'm not sure how much longer he will be with us but I'm grateful for every day I have with my little furry blessings. Gracie kitty is 10 now and is a real prima donna. If you want to see more pics of them you can find them on my flickr photostream. http://www.flickr.com/photos/28010596@N05/

Howdy!

Just saying hi for the first time to my fellow blog reader addicts. I am known as Sweetpea Sue aka Aunt Zooie. I am a lifelong crafter, animal lover, bookworm, movie buff, and crazy aunt to boot. Check out the About Me section to learn more details. I have just recently discovered the fun of blogland and now I am venturing forth into uncharted territories waiting to be explored. I found blogland because I was looking up information on one of my favorite local artist-Karla Nathan-who lives in my hometown of Lawrence Kansas. She has a blog called Karla's Cottage (http://karlascottage.typepad.com/). As a result I have had much fun over the past several weeks reading her blog and others I have discovered. Now I have decided to join the fun and start one of my own. I have much to learn about the process, so please bear with me. I look forward to getting to know others who love crafting as much as I do.
