Pretty and Her Pillow
Did you see it, there at 0:24 in the video yesterday? A latch-hook pillow designed, hooked, and stitched by Andy Paulson (whose latch-hooking phase you might remember from last winter). This pillow is a present for our little graduate (doesn't this look like a senior portrait?).
Yes, she has a 4.0 in bone-chewing and pretty-looking. Valedictorian and homecoming queen in a class of one.
We requested a speech but she declined. An occasionally subtle communicator, she insisted that one look said it all ["You peeps are cracked"].
Uh oh.
My cute meter just exploded.
Those eyes, they get me every time, Alicia. At least your doggie doesn't have the dreaded red eye. How do you do it?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I so needed this "Clover Fix". I forgot to check your blog yesterday so I didn't see the video until now. I have a big smile on my face and I'm dancing inside to Andy's song playing in my mind. What a wonderful day I'll have.

I must say she looks like best dressed also (who could improve on that pretty fur?) and most congenial (we'll ignore sitting on dolly's head that one time...).

Latch hook! I can't tell you how excited I am that you showed that because it is the only crafty thing you've ever shown on this blog that I can say I've done!
So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I feel enormously validated! ;)
And thank you, Clover, for being too darn cute. That's all.

I can't stand it! I love her!

Okay!?! Now think of having a pug... you will just DIE of the cuteness.
I still adore corgi's but do you have any issues with herding or nipping?

haha dude, i DID notice it in the video! i stopped it, rewound it, and looked at it AGAIN in awe. so freaking cool.
oh man, i went to an estate sale with my best friend last weekend and in one of the rooms was a latch-hook rug with mushrooms on it. and i exclaimed to my friend, who was luckily the only other person in there, "dont TELL ME i'm the only one here that's going through a latch-hook phase!!"
hahahaha
i say that one to her often and i catch myself stealing your phrase "all i ever wanted to do was..." pretty often too.

Love it! I noticed it in the video, but could not tell if it was a pillow or mat. Very cool. And Clover....could she be any cuter?!

Clover is such a sweetheart!
I emailed you this link recently but not sure it went through--just thought you'd find it entertaining!
