Owl bag and Superdog

This will be quick, since I'm late for work (as usual--just kidding, bosses, if you're reading this... uh... heh).

I told Adrienne I'd post pictures of my new owl tote that I made. This is a great tote. I used a couple of new techniques to sew it, and it's a very useful bag--assuming you can be vigilant about not tipping it over, because it's fairly shallow for how big it is.

Sadly, I can't find the digital camera, so the photos are going to have to wait.

In other news, Winston decided to play Superdog on the 4th of July. He took a flying leap off a 5 1/2 foot retaining wall and landed chin-first on a small cement curb around a planting bed. Needless to say, he was whisked off to the emergency vet, where he was determined to be fine. He still seems a little sore. He's on an anti-inflammatory. I haven't yet taken him back out to the yard to see if he's acquired a sensible fear of heights (or at least leaps). I guess I'll get to that before too long.

Other than that, I'm revising like a maniac (Project X) and enjoying So You Think You Can Dance. Now I can add "look for the digital camera" to the list.

Happy Thursday, all!

PS - Have you seen this video? It gave me the happies.

I had heard about him. The ones with the kids are the best!

Too much fun! BTW, multiply what your little Winston does times ten and you'll know what it's like to have kids!

I'm intrigued by the owl bag. I think I'll pout until you post a picture.

Oh my -- I must wait even longer. I am dying a slow death waiting to see this bag. You realize you may have to make one for everyone..............:)

Tut-tut, I know! Total warm fuzzies. I tried explaining it to the husb, and he wasn't impressed, LOL.

Laura, don't say that! At that rate, my children will be eating ten bees a month and jumping off 56 foot walls.

Christy, turn that frown upside down! I'm anxious to find the camera, myself (but not so anxious that I'm actively searching for it).

Laughingwolf, hi! Welcome to the blog! Thanks for commenting. Winston's flight instinct has yet to be retested, but I'm definitely going to be watching him closely next time he's out in the yard. Some mistakes he learns from (big waves tumble you under water) and some not so much (bees do not equal delicious). So the verdict's still out!

Adrienne, we cross-commented. Are you a huge owl fan or something? I'm just saying... I do have enough owl fabric left over for one more bag.

Dogs are like kids, don't you think?

Man, I hate to hear news that my pal Winston got hurt playing around. I'm glad to hear he's O.K., but I cringe at the thought of him hitting that cement curb chin-first.

Poor little guy.

EXTRA, EXTRA TLC (I know he gets plenty of it already).

Not so much owls but I never met a tote I didn't have to have. My husband calls me the "bag lady"

You realize I'm still waiting for photos of the bag. A bag stalker I am.

Ah Winston. Tell him to be more careful with his dogness.
