Hello Dear Friends! I spent a good chunk of the day today over in the studio punching the day away. I'm trying to get some items finished for the Early Work Mercantile update... on July 1st. I was very happy to have one finished punch... stained with my walnut & spice mix... and drying on the clothesline.
BUT!
When I went out to get it... this is what I found...
Empty clothespins... except for a few stray threads! Now, we live in the country & don't have close neighbors ~ not that someone would walk into the backyard to take such a thing anyway. The day was a little breezy, but I couldn't see it blowing off the line. But I began looking...
I looked in the bushes near the clothesline...
around the backyard... gradually making my circular paths larger and larger...
just wondering where the heck my punched piece could have gone.
THEN I SPOTTED IT!
And it wasn't alone!
(Can you tell where I am going with this?)

Yup... someone is truly in the doghouse!
Fortunately... the punch wasn't damaged... and I do still love my Brownie boy!
Silly puppy!
Wishing you all warm smiles...

Funny but not;) I put a rug out to dry and left it out for a few days, big mistake. The birds decided they wanted the wool and pecked a hole right through and ruined it. Never do that again.

And I thought I had to keep a eye on Sloan who knew you would have to keep a watchful eye on Brownie...guess he loves your work, too :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Glad your punch was ok! :O)
ReplyDeleteBrownie must of needed it for something. :)
ReplyDeleteMelinda
LOL! At least you found it! Guess you have to make your clothesline higher!
ReplyDeleteYep I knew exactly where you were going with this.........He just wanted to see the DMC colors up close....it's ok...he was gentle....Love that little Brownie! xxoo

Glad your punch was okay ! Evidently Brownie wanted it for his own.Hugs,Jen
ReplyDeletealls well that ends well! Hang in there, tee hee hee couldn't resist a clothesline pun! Happy 4th! Have a safe 4th...does Trinity love firecrackers as much as my dh? goofy about them!
ReplyDeleteWhew!!! I thought it was not going to have a happy ending....Like when the Snow Dog decided he liked my rug hooking project....
ReplyDeleteThat is such a funny story...guess Brownie was only trying to help Mom :) Of course now I remember why I have a doxie and a corgi...both of them have short little legs that have to work a little harder than most to get into trouble!
ReplyDeleteI think because you were so busy and not able to play outside on such a beautiful day, Brownie was missing you and wanted to spend time with you. He found the next best thing :)
ReplyDeleteLucy
P.S. I love how she's not looking at the camera. Starting to feel a little guilty?
Methinks he was jealous that the little piece of fabric was getting more attention than he was... and yes... he's still a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stinker, guess he appreciates mama's work too! he just wanted a closer look... ~Kriss~
ReplyDeleteGlad it wasn't damaged! Guess he just wanted to feel close to you :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, Brownie did it, LOL! So glad your needlepunch is okay, but I had to laugh at the thief...
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Traci
Brownie must like your walnut and spice mixture! Or maybe he just wanted a punched piece of his own....perhaps you should punch him something and hang it low where he can appreciate it :)
ReplyDeleteBetty ~
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found your piece undamaged!!! Brownie is too cute to be mad at :)
Hugs :)

This is one of the reasons my Bailey is a tiny dog (7 pounds - 2 years old) he can't reach very high!! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for giving me a laugh for the day:)!!!!!! can't wait to see what it looks like!
ReplyDeleteYour designs are enticing to the human AND animal world! What an honor!
ReplyDeleteRut row, glad mr. Brownie didn't damage your piece after all the hard work! I bet he loved the smell of those spices blowing in the wind!
ReplyDeletePoor Brownie..he just so loved your work that he wanted it all for himself. My Riley cat use to snatch up my embroidery floss when I was not looking. Even though he is gone now, I still cannot find where he put them..the only place I cannot get back into is behind the furnace, but my guess is he could. Can't wait for the July 1st update. take care, Janice
ReplyDeleteSilly puppy. Glad your piece was not damaged.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day~Becky
Betty I'm so glad it was still in one piece.... kids.... fuzzy four legged kids I should say. :0)
