Hats off.....

....to all you Mothers out there.

Never having any children of my own, I have no first hand knowledge of the energy, dedication, and patience it takes to be a Mother.

Well, I'm getting just a little taste of it right now.....Babysitting Alfie for a friend.....

What!! You were expecting a baby? From me? You must be kidding. This is as close to babysitting as I get. It must be similar right? You feed them, burp them, clean up after them, cuddle them, and tuck them in bed. (While they are sleeping, you run around trying to get all of the stuff you should be doing done (like showering).

Actually, I decided to just forget everything else and focus on Alfie and Erin.

I really believe that these tiny little ones need a "buddy" to play with, so Daisy gave Alfie her "Tigger" (Daisy loves her Tigger. She stole, er, borrowed him from her obedience class!)

Watch out for major Erin updates coming soon -- I intend to have this sweater done by next Thursday. Next Thursday? Why next Thursday? Tune in then for a major blog announcement (well, it's major to me LOL).

Happy Knitting

    Alfie is just oozing with puppy cuteness. I remember seeing photos of Daisy when she was in puppyhood. If I were puppysitting Alfie I don't know that I could let him go! (I wonder how many more times I could use "puppy" in this post??)

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic.
