Wonderful gifts

My Little Helper


Wow! I can't believe it's already January 13Th wasn't New Years day just yesterday? Time flies when you are busy creating. Santa was very very good to me,ok to all of us, this year. One of the gifts I received was an embroidery machine,which I just love Love LOVE! I wanted a machine that would allow me to do my own designs and that's just what I got. I've gone a little embroidery crazy so much so the Guys threatened to padlock their underwear drawers! Sheesh what's a Girl to do? Then I got an after New Years gift that I also just love Love LOVE! Her name is Lola or Princess Lola,or the Lolanator when she's been caught chewing the guy's stuff. I must admit I was a bit amused when She was chewing on the Man Cub #1's ugly slipper. Lola is a tiny baby. She is about 10 weeks old now. When we got her she fit in the palm of my hand. I know she is at least part Chihuahua,but I think she's mixed with something else. She's a Mestiza! She loves to be held and carried and after a long nap she loves to play,which isn't always a good thing at 2 am! One thing I love about her size is I can put her on my cutting table when I'm working on something. It's true what they say about good things coming in small packages. Since I don't have any daughters,or nieces,well, I do have a puppy niece that my sister adopted. She bestowed the title of puppy Godmother on me. My sister and Jax (Jaxie bear) came up for Christmas and being that I'm her Nina (spanish for Godmother) I whipped her up a blanket,pillow and cushy bedding for her long trip back to California. My Godpuppy was going home in style! I was tying the last knot at 11:59 p.m. and wrapping her gifts up for her to open at midnight. My Guys thought I was nuts,but hey puppies need presents too.

When Lola came home I made her a bed,comforter,pillow and chew toy in the prettiest of pink colors all fit for a Princess. I even embroidered her name on her comforter except it says Bella and we changed her name to Lola a few days later. She must know this because I often catch her trying to chew it off. Man cub #3 says "mom do you want another baby or something?" I said not just No,but hell No. This Chica is way beyond the birthing babies stage. Love babies, love them even more when they go home. Honeybear often wonders what I will be like when we start getting Grandkids. I tell him the key is knowing when to send them home! I hope everyone had a wonderfully blessed holiday as much as I did.
