Wintervention

Are the rest of you suffering from cabin fever?  I know I am.  We must have 3 feet of snow out there.  I did not work on my Valentine's rug, I did not spin up the rest of the blue merino for a customer, and I certainly did not clean the upstairs bathroom which needs it badly.  Instead, I did this:

Yes, I made a very strange looking cat out of an old paisley skirt that no longer fits me. (I did make the brownies last night -grin- ) I gave her a wool scarf for the cold and added a birdie scarf pin.  I know, I need help.

Antiquing went well.  I score some small items that were cheap, cheap, cheap!

No, that was the price, not the chickens cheeping.  Aren't they cute?  If I can't have a new chicken coop like Verde Farm, then I can get a little rooster and hen to keep me company. 
Here is my other score:

A little blue and gray pottery candle sconce.  I usually shop a at cool place in town.  It's called Jennie's and the prices are great.  I always find a bargain there.  In fact, I think that I might have found an interesting Wade figure.  Does anyone recognize this?

It has no mark on the bottom, but it sure looks like a Wade.  My friend Linda collects them, so I'll give it to her.  In fact, she is the Teaching Assistant in my room at school, and she uses the Wade figures as rewards for her students. 
Finally, I want to introduce you to my baby, Gus.  He'll be 12 years old on Thursday.  He has just been diagnosed with Cushings disease this past fall.  He he getting very fat, because he doesn't like to go walking like he used to, but he is my buddy.

He's a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the second best dog in the world.  The first was the Cardi I grew up with named Burt.  They are a lot alike actually.  If you know Corgis, then you know how wonderful they are.

I am so thrilled to have over 10 followers!  I love and appreciate your comments, and I love following your adventures, too.

All the best folks,
