Feeling Two Blue Again
The past few weeks have been very full and we are all tired. We haven't celebrated Easter yet due to a family emergency. We hope to play hide the eggs soon, though. I can't wait for Christopher's reaction to the giant toy filled paper mache eggs.

All is well now and we are readjusting back to normal again. Before all of that though, Shasta had another wonderful weekend at an agility trial in Schenectady, NY. I didn't want to miss sharing his amazing teamwork on the course, I was so proud of him. Our first day at the trial was filled with handler errors and we did not qualify in either of our runs. Shasta continued to do his best and on the second day I got my act together and our teamwork was seamless, we had 2 beautiful runs. I am tempted to celebrate Shasta style, though, and take a long afternoon nap.
Mitten Madness


Working on a few more lined mittens with hand spun yarns.
Summer update: My pattern for the lined mittens printed in the summer 2008 issue of Spin-Off magazine. Very exciting for me!!!

Beautiful in Blue
In agility, some days are diamonds, and some days are stones. For the humans anyhow. The dogs seem happy all of the time!! I guess that's why I keep coming back for more. Shasta had a great day yesterday at the AKC trial in Amherst, NH. Doesn't he look great in blue?!!

Getting ready for Easter
The Eggs are painted and waiting for Easter.
The construction blanket is also finished.
We found a cute construction crew dress up outfit that I think Christopher will like. It comes with a tool belt. The hammer may prove useful when opening the eggs.
