I love how Westie puppy pictures are always blurry. They refuse to stand still for a picture. Except for the one whose head was poking through the block to get a drink - that was hilarious!

Wow - you live in the right neighbourhood!

Wow - you live in the right neighbourhood!

Just so darling! Is your Westie from this breeder?...

Love the herd of puppies! Are they yours? Love the painting, too. The colors are so pretty.

Oh my gosh! Those puppies are too cute for words! I can't believe it was just a few months ago that Fergus was that size.

Just fantastic - both!

This is so unfair. I have been telling myself since Kate released her Blaithin pattern that I already have yarn to complete at least 5 sweaters already in my Ravelry queue, that I already own more sweaters than any human being could possibly need (even if they do live in Canada), and that knitting sweaters in the summer in hot, dry Kamloops is not a pleasant experience. And then I come to your blog and all my resolve vanishes. :-)

Hi, Anne, I'm still at the yarn-picking point in my Blaithin, but you seem to be flowing right along. I like the new look of the blog, but I miss the top picture you used to have on the other.

I definitely see the hydrangea, but I vote for a dragon on the second one. Love the colors. Wish we could do things like this in knitting.

Had to catch up with your blog world having been away from my computer while cruising the English Channel. First, what a handsome lovely boy Montie was. Second, the rose looks pretty damn good. Third, YOU BOUGHT YARN! What happened to the diet? Don't tell me your stash didn't hold SOMETHING similar to make Kate's latest! Hmmm . . . . I think you've been naughty.

This one is on my "must see" list, so I'm glad to hear that you liked it!

Thank you for the link to Lucy. I still learn something every day! Beautiful rose, you certainly have a talent worth nurturing. I look forward to seeing more ....

2012-05-21T23:49:00.538-04:00

Yeah, that provisional cast-on with the crocheted chain can be a real pain to unzip. I, too, prefer Lucy's provisional cast-on. That Soft Donegal Yarn looks yummy!

2012-05-20T16:42:57.333-04:00

Wow , this is really crazy, because just Friday I recieved in the mail (from a post mistress as well) Studio Donegal yarn too. But I didn't order mine, it came from a friend from No.Ireland as a gift !!!! (I too shall photograph and post) However, it's not the 'Soft Donegal' line, but the 'Donegal Aran Tweed'. One purple and one green.

I will be visiting your space here more often, I can't understand why I didn't come by sooner.
Have fun with your Blaithin, and I can't wait to see it.

Montie was very photogenic. I look forward to your paintings. What a treat to have 3 weeks all to yourself!

I think your Westies would love having a Bernese dog to share life with. :-)
Montie was a beautiful dog. I love Bernese Mountain Dogs and would get one if we had the space. I am not sure Fergus would be too thrilled though. He is petrified of big dogs.

2012-05-02T12:34:36.434-04:00

Mmmm! Fish cakes and cupcakes - they both look yummy. Are you going to share the fish cake recipe? :-)

I quite admire your painting skills!

It looks lovely. My friend just bought this pattern the other day it seems to be all the rage at the moment. I love your colour choices.

With the chilly weather we are having, this shawl is just the thing, eh? Love the colors.

I love your shawl! And your pictures are terrific!...

2012-04-26T09:46:11.793-04:00

I love your shawl! And your pictures are terrific! This shawl is one of the 300+ projects in my Ravelry queue. :-)

2012-04-18T09:55:35.252-04:00

What a lovely present for yourself! I had a stroll through her Etsy shop & found just too many things I want to get. As for your album, I can't decide if it's just too pretty to use, or too pretty not to use.
