Maybe the January chill is finally getting to me, but one cold grey day I decided to put together a treasury on Etsy made up entirely of items made from felted sweaters.
The search led me to the delightful Etsy shop tallulahssatchels, where I came upon this colorful fun scarf.
I had to have it.

I immediately sent a message to the artist, asking if she'd make me a custom order.
She was more than accommodating!
What I had in mind was a couple of throw pillows along the lines of my new scarf.
In a flash, she sent me some photos of what she was piecing together for me and the next thing I knew, the pillows, along with the matching scarf, were delivered to my front doorstep.
Beautifully crafted, and exactly what I had in mind...WOW.
For once Morley was allowed up on the couch to pose with the new lovelies.

OK....get down now.
Good boy.
I love the way Chris puts her pillows together-
This one even has the buttons from the sweater going down the back. So clever.

Chris also knits the most amazing ruffle scarves
and all sorts of beautiful felted bags and ipod covers.
How cute is this?

If you are lucky, maybe she'll make something just for you.
Tell her Morley sent you.

Morley LOVES Snow

There's about a foot of snow out there this morning, but Morley doesn't mind a bit.
He just knows there's something interesting underneath it all.


Morley is an eleven year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.
He feels that though Labradoodles

and Portuguese Water Dogs

are perfectly nice, it's obviously a Wheatie that the Obamas need as FIRST DOG.

OK, I admit it. I am in love.
With my dog.
He's my foot warmer. My personal trainer. (Gets me out for a walk when I really don't feel like it.)
There's nothing like a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier to lift your spirits.
If you don't mind the grooming bills and the forever-a-puppy personality, this is the best friend you'll ever have.
They don't shed, either.
Honest.
