Bark Bark...
Who watched the Westminster Dog Show last night??? I love that show, I try to catch it each year, and missed Monday, but we saw the finale last night...I was in the studio yelling to Brian "I want a dog!" (he was in the living room fiddling around w/ some electronic equipment...so I wasn't 'yelling' in his face...). The final 7 dogs were all super, I would have been happy with any of the winners, but I was really tickled to see the Pointer win...She was wonderful, her gait was perfect, she struck a pose when needed and I think she was a great winner..How about that bloodhound? gorgeous! and that Co-Co terrier, she was a hoot...of course we all cracked up at poor little Jeffery having to run around the ring, with all that hair...he was so happy tho...
And I'm showing off the beaded brooch I made yesterday...this was the class I took Monday night, and I started the piece, but didn't bring enough beads to finish it, so yesterday I spent some time picking out stuff and completing it...I like how it turned out...I used chipped and knicked and 'bad' beads in it, cause I figure - what does it matter - most of them are hidden or going to get chipped from rubbing all the other glass beads! You know how I like the autumn palette- so what else would you expect? Suprisingly I found a bunch of beads to make another pin in purple and teal...will show you that when its complete, in about a gazillion years...

Donna, the broche is awesome! I want to know how to make one! Are some of the wires wrapped with silk thread??? Can you give me a tutorial :)??

Donna, Love the broche!! I knew I would regret not signing up for the class.
I too love the Westminster Dog Show. I'm a Border Collie fan, so I was glad to see the Border Collie make the finals. The Pointer was fabulous though - what a pose she struck!!
Belated Happy Birthday. Hope today is a great day in your corner of the world.

Hey Donna...
That brooch is wild and very cool! You artsy chica, you.
I missed the dog show last night but I usually love watching it. I'm the proud mommy of an Australian Shepherd so I'm partial to the breed. I'm not even sure whether they're AKC recognized (they didn't use to be).
I'm a dog fan, for sure. I think someday I may get a Brussels Griffon...ever since I first saw the movie "As Good As It Gets" I've wanted one!!! Hubby thinks Pomeranians are adorable...so chances are, our next dog is going to be small, fluffy and cute!
Have a groovy afternoon.....

Donna, I love the brooch. I too would love a tutorial. How ironic, I saw the dog show for the first time the other night and I thought it was so interesting. I have two cocker spaniels and love the little creatures. Linda
