Healthy again!!

Greetings once again fellow bloggers and my little army of followers! :D  I am happy to say I am feeling SO much better!!!
I didn't get much of anything accomplished this weekend .. but I had a good excuse at least! I did teach my class Saturday at Obsessions and had a great time doing it! We had a lady come in the store looking for a paint medium, which we don't have, but Google told her we did ;)  But Thank Google! She asked what we were doing and I showed her the Fringe Cuff that I was going to teach and she asked me to help her pick out beads for it and she took my class! She had NEVER done anything like this before!  
We had a great time in the class and she really enjoyed it and will be coming back again in March! It's times like these that just make me enjoy my 'bead therapy' even more! The other two ladies were just great as well! I am really looking forward to seeing everyone's finished cuffs! This is the cuff I taught:

In other news.. my delightful children, errr.. pups, Guinness and Chito received their Canine Good Citizen certificates this week!! Is it silly to be so proud of this accomplishment?  Yes, these will be framed and hung on the wall.....

I had considered signing Guinness up for a Basic Agility training camp that is coming up in March but the minimum age requirement is 12 months and he will only be 9 months old :( So I am looking for a program nearby later in the year. I really think he would enjoy it as much as I would!!

So, until next time, have a lovely day and go create something beautiful!!!!

Star Pupils? Who knows?!

Hello everyone! Been a few days since I've posted but I have been a little busy and didn't want to just toss up any old post just to fill space :)

We are pretty much done with inventory, just tying up loose ends.. THANK HEAVENS! I know Tammy is ready for this to be OVER! Looking forward to work tomorrow and also to teaching my class on Saturday! I'm teaching the Wheel of Time pendant I posted about earlier. It's such a fun pendant and can be made in so many different styles! I bet you could use it as a brooch as well. Hmmm, I also just had a rather interesting idea..... *makes a note*

 Our highlight for today was our obedience class this evening. We enrolled our two pups in the Community Pet Center sponsored class Paws-A-Tive Training. Cheri & Ann have been wonderful teachers and are very encouraging! Chito, our little lab cross, has a head start since I was able to spend more time with her at home last year since I was out of work for a while. She will be two in April! The first picture was taken this past weekend.. the second one was taken the week we found her. She was approximately 3-4 weeks old and my sister had found her sitting in the grass on the side of the road...

We also took Guiness, a Lab/Boxer cross. He is just an adorable little monster. I love his chocolatey-ness!!

 This is our third week of class.. well actually OUR second week, we missed last week's class. But we were able to catch up quickly this evening. It really is fun to watch everyone progress! And comforting to know that our dogs aren't the only ones with issues!!
Both of them were very good in class, and only got really distracted once when one of the other owners had some more family members show up. But the pups refocused on us quickly and that is a GREAT accomplishment!!

Has anyone ever done any Agility Training? I am thinking about looking into it and Cheri gave me a flyer for a local trainer! It would be really fun to have a solid GOAL besides the I-want-a-good-dog goal I currently have. This just looks SO FUN!!!
