Happy 2010!
We are so old we were asleep by 10:30 pm! :)
***
Here are some things keeping me busy:
Squares...LOTS of squares...
I am making a blanket for a wounded soldier. I think I have about 16 or more squares to go before I can start piecing it altogether!
***
Also, for the sweet tween in my life, I have been working on gloves and flower scarf :
Not sure if this qualifies as a scarf....
but, it is sooo cute!
***
And finally I have been working on this guy:
I've been trying to teach him some simple commands. He is a great dog, but he likes to jump up on people, which scares the crap out of a toddler. And he likes to lick people...he has great aim when it comes to your mouth! :( blech! Also, he will sit for a nanosecond on command...I'd like him to sit a bit longer.
I guess I should read a book on training?
OY. Maybe someone will volunteer and do it for me?
Have a great week!

I just made 39 orange centers for more grannies. I love the scarf!
to train a dog to sit:
1)have a paper towel soaked in a mixture of hot sauce and vinegar in one hand, and your dog's favorite treats in the other hand.
2)say "SIT!" and push the dog's butt down onto the floor.
3)when his butt touches the floor give him a treat.
4)as soon as his butt comes up off the floor, push the paper towel in his nose and scream "BAAAD! BAAAD!"
do this about 4 days in a row, and he will get the idea.
kw, does this work with kids too? hmmmm...
;) i am kidding, of course!
HAW! Yes, it works very well with kids too.
