Stars in the Night

Some baubles and bangles - some Fantasy and some with a Celtic feel. I love working with wire and seeing the different shapes as they form. I use various colored wire for a different effect and try to find beautiful beads, crystals and cultures pearls. One of my latest is colors is Hematite colored wire - silver plated enameled. This is a Fantasy piece with Hematite color wire and aurora borealis crystals. And a Tangled bracelet of pearls, crystals and crackled glass beads and rose gold colored wire. Custom orders are always welcome. I have gold and silver plated wires on hand and Rose gold and Hematite enameled silver plated wire. Lots of pearls, crystals, crackled glass, lapis, malachite, amethyst, adventuring, carnelian and other semiprecious beads available. My etsy shop is etsy

Baubles with a little glitz and more with a Celtic feel. I love working with wire and seeing the different shapes as they form. I use silver and gold plated wire - some coated with colored enamel for a gorgeous effect.

Last year I wanted to make a simple shrug for my daughter – in law. I looked at patterns everywhere – Ravelry, different yarn websites, and all the magazines I had. Nothing g really seemed interesting to me unless it was far more complicated than I wanted to tackle. Finally I found this very plain Bernat shrug, very simple and decided I would just put a lacy stitch in it instead of the plain mesh. I have a couple of stitch pattern books and found one called “scattered shells” that looked promising. It was one row of chains and shells and the next row of chains so simple and not a lot of yarn (she lives in Ft Lauderdale, so heavy is not an option. The original pattern was 1st row: 1 dc in 4th ch from hook. *Ch 1. Miss next ch. 1 dc in next ch. Rep from * to last ch. 1 dc in last 1. Turn. 91 sts.

I have been working with fiber, mostly wool for years, weaving, crochet, spinning, sewing and more. I learned to sew when I was in junior high and even took design and drafting classes. Crochet came from my ex-husband's great aunt and it became something I could do in many different forms. I made 10 shawls in one year for family members. I always liked the freedom to go off in any direction.

In Florida I learned off loom or frame weaving from a great teacher. I learned to do circles, tapestries and three dimensional weavings. I love the off loom sculptural ideas that come to me with weaving. Almost everything I have done is free form.

I will be adding more pieces so please bookmark my shop.

This piece came to me as an extension of the base. I had an armature formed by a welder and then wove the piece directly on the shape using yarns that I had spun myself.

We always get lots of crazy and interesting pootie pics so I thought you might like some different woozle pictures. These are some of the wolfhounds - truly large woozles that I have had over the years doing some wild and crasy things.

We have had a lot of sadness around here lately, so I thought it would be good to celebrate the joy of the young. So bring your pics of kittens and puppies and other littles and leave your cares behind.

As always this is a flame free no politics zone (no trolls allowed).

Many of us have had young dogs and cats that have had a terrible time with cystitis or recurrent UTI’s. Usually these infections are from E. coli when they are cultured. Cranberry juice or extract has been shown to prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder. Urinary tract infections or UTIs are something that both cats and dogs suffer and while cranberry will not cure an infection they are an excellent preventative for those animals (and humans) that seem to have recurring infections, in addition to a diet change.

Cranberry juice is very high in anthocyanidins flavonoids- quercetin, cyanidin and peonidin as well as polyphenols and tannins. These have demonstrated a large number of beneficial actions including preventing urinary tract infections in hounds as well as humans, and are also good for pooties.

Our pooties would love to have us feed them our food and so would the Woozles. Wolfhounds aren’t known as counter surfers for nothin’. But I dearly love my animals and as much as I like my vet, building a wing for her hospital is not what I want to do. So over the years I have tried to learn as much as possible about improving their health through nutrition and herbs. (Everyone says my animals eat better than I do and they are absolutely right- I hate veggies).

Wolfhounds tend to have a short life span, and I have one that is almost 11 ½. She has been eating raw since she was 8 months old and I give her a handful of herbs. Is this the answer? I don’t know – it is my experiment in progress. I now have my first young cat on raw – from 10 months old. I hope he makes a healthy old age. Many people want to feed their animals better, but aren’t ready for raw, so let’s look at grainless.

Noms for Pooties and Woozles or Munchies 101
Just about 12 years ago I started feeding raw food to my dogs. I had heard about it for some time and read Juliette de Baracli Levi‘s book The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat. Starting with my interest in natural dye plants, I had become very interested in herbs and I had been using herbs for myself and my dogs for some time. Several wolfhound people were feeding raw and and encouraged me to take the plunge. My hounds were having diarrhea with most foods and the food that worked for them was difficult to find. This diary is going to be focused on feeding raw. For those who just can't face it, I seriously urge you to look at grainless foods. There is a comparison chart further down.
