Behind us, runs the school field – which over the years has transformed from a football field, to a running track, to a soccer field and is now just a field used for gym classes and a few portable classrooms that accommodate the overflow from the main school.<br /><br />Throughout the 23 years that we have lived in this house, we have used that field<br />for working the dogs in obedience, show, planted birds for field work and even done a bit of tracking – after school hours of course. But most often lately, we use it as a safe place to take Nevada for a run off leash so she can expend some energy.<br /><br />Tonight, after dinner, Dale decided to take Nevada for a run – bitter cold though it is. He agreed that he would only be gone a few minutes, knowing that Nevada’s feet would freeze quite quickly. The two of them bundled up in their snow gear and off they went.<br /><br />Almost 45 minutes went by and I was beginning to be concerned, wondering where they were, when Dale staggered in, quite obviously betwixt and between himself.<br />“Nevada’s locked in a portable” he hollered at me – stuttering and stammering. I know I must have had a totally confused look on my face as he hollered the same thing at me again. I started to ask him what he was talking about and he just hollered at me to get the keys for the van. Now I am really confused – what do the van keys have to do with a high school portable classroom and my dog. He sputtered at me long enough for me to understand he was going to chase down one of the school custodians for keys. He races off.<br /><br />I quickly gear up in my snow clothes. As the crow flies, she is only a couple of hundred feet away, but rather than scaling an 8 foot security fence, I have to take the long route and stumble up the snow covered sidewalk as fast as I can manage, around the corner and through the gate into the school field.<br /><br />I know immediately which of the 5 portable my girls is in, as I have been hearing her screaming hysterically since I opened the door at home. A crowd is gathering at the door of the main school (there must have been some event at the school this evening) , with them all looking at nervously at the field where the unearthly wailing is occurring. I am sure they think I am a crazy woman as I stagger through the snow and into the field directly at the unidentified screaming. ( have I mentioned what a weenie Nevada is ?) all the time hollering at the top of my lungs I’m coming Nevada, Mommy’s coming”<br />I stand outside the locked door and talk Nevada into some semblance of normality and she gradually quiets. <br /><br />The people at school leap out of the way as a blue van comes flying up the street, slides to a stop in the snow and slush, and Dale leaps out madly waving a stick with a key dangling off the end of it. He races past, plants a hand on my chest, to push me out of his way on the trip to the locked door. He fumbles with keys, Nevada is wailing again, I am picking myself up out of the snow and finally – Nevada hurtles out of the open door.<br /><br />I collar her quickly, snap her lead on and head home, while Dale heads back to the van to take the keys back to the custodian. The group at the high school door disperse rapidly at the advance of the crazy woman and her dog, heading back into the school, only to peer at us through the windows of the closed and locked ( yes I heard the lock snick home ) door. <br />Anyway, we are now home safe and sound, Nevada is still trying to tell me all about her adventure and Dale is sitting quietly trying to calm his racing heart.<br /><br />It appears, being the good Samaritan that Dale is, that he had noticed the open door on the portable classroom and went to shut it. It automatically locked when he shut it, not realizing that Nevada had beat him to the punch and was already inside the classroom.<br />Another disaster diverted and all is well – if a little calamitous in our home.Linkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00199789559694165376noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456511227504445184.post-79048537399645145192009-12-13T07:28:00.004-05:002009-12-13T07:30:39.218-05:00Nevada's Stick<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIcxi6OEw6HkaCj9HW9-Kz98sV4AZVcWga0wAq4XuiKaCp0wCvl8SAUw-BNJo__q63oaF0XWef18AxDiZchCP8HUTYYBBYFG2GogusdqxW3RW5UFBrJpWVxa8ObwSqu6Sgvu2OY_LrAS4/s1600-h/000e0073.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIcxi6OEw6HkaCj9HW9-Kz98sV4AZVcWga0wAq4XuiKaCp0wCvl8SAUw-BNJo__q63oaF0XWef18AxDiZchCP8HUTYYBBYFG2GogusdqxW3RW5UFBrJpWVxa8ObwSqu6Sgvu2OY_LrAS4/s320/000e0073.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414696793636431282" border="0" /></a><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CNancy%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="State"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceName"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceType"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal"><st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on"></st1:place></st1:state>

After stumbling round, puffing and panting, he eventually regained his breath and the stick game continued – with Dale carefully NOT throwing it near the embankment and <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> gleefully racing after it. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">But danger lurked everywhere today for <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state>’s Stick.<span style=""> </span>After a few throws, the stick bounced and on the rebound, landed in a dumpster.<span style=""> </span>An almost empty dumpster. At the very bottom of an almost empty dumpster. <st1:state st="on">Nevada</st1:state> of course did everything but leap inside after her stick (<st1:place st="on"><st1:state st="on">Nevada</st1:state></st1:place>, for those that don’t know her is extremely agile – even for a Weim ) Dale held her back and went to investigate himself. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">He peered over the edge of the dumpster and way, way, down, at the very bottom was <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state>’s Stick. He couldn’t reach it – not even close. But upon further investigation, he discovered a bit of a ledge.<span style=""> </span>He stepped up on this ledge and leaned over. He was much closer to reaching <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state>’s Stick, but couldn’t quite get his fingers on it. He helfted himself up just a tiny bit more, reached, almost had it, strained just a wee bit further, had his fingers on it, lost his balance and went head first into the dumpster, amongst the bits and pieces of garbage and rubbish. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dale got to his feet.<span style=""> </span><st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state>’s Stick grasped firmly in his fist and peered out.<span style=""> </span><st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> of course is sitting back watching these strange goings on with great curiosity, head cocked and eyes very wide.<span style=""> </span>She is not about to leave until she has her stick clamped firmly between her teeth. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">There is no ledge to step up on inside the dumpster and after many tries, Dale realizes he is stuck inside the garbage bin. He just isn’t agile enough anymore to swing his leg up and over the top.<span style=""> </span>Starting to panic and with no help in sight, he gets steadily more agitated.<span style=""> </span>He is out of sight, behind the school.<span style=""> </span>No one was within shouting distance. No one knew where he was.<span style=""> </span>No one could be expected at the school until Monday morning. (this was Sat. afternoon)<span style=""> </span>Finally reason kicked in and he started piling the little bits and pieces of garbage in a corner until he had enough of a pile to stand on and haul himself out of there. He did finally get out, stick in hand, with <st1:place st="on"><st1:state st="on">Nevada</st1:state></st1:place> waiting impatiently “on the other side”.<span style=""> </span>Rather dirty and stinky, wet, cold and bedraggled, they staggered toward home, stopping only to put the stick safely back into it’s safe hiding place. </p>

Crocheted myself into a combination of Tendonitis in my left hand and Carpal Tunnel in my right. But I can't seem to just sit and and watch TV. Or even just sit and chat. I have to be doing something with my hands at all times. Here is an example of the children's hats I have knit and crocheted the past few weeks.Linkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00199789559694165376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456511227504445184.post-71800602144483404442009-10-11T10:12:00.012-04:002009-10-11T10:27:00.355-04:00Skullcaps and StuffI have been busy crocheting these days. I seem to go in fits and starts are my many venues. My sewing machine is sitting idle, my knitting needles silent but my crochet hook is moving fast. I have made and listed several skullcaps on my Etsy shop the past while. These are all one of a kind OOAK as I use no pattern and different yarns for each. Sizes range from baby ( under 6 months ) to adult. To check out more, log on to http://www.oncottageway.etsy.com and look in the "sections" for knit and crochet. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7Althf2Ey6LtYklEnCbnWULC0bwZ5i1Cb1yxgsLJmuewc3LdXOys12_Ma3vB-FJeFACDWIltrSSJjIGuCE3k3ER4HHiEWa0L1jVF9Xy41HGZSzj3IPzUJGvBUYAvGecKclrCN1DkMSg/s1600-h/baby+beanie+skullcap+1.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I always have a hard time finding fabric suitable to make those special things for little boys and here was a great opportunity. It consists of a crib size blanket, burpee, large bib,m small bib, toy tether and pacifier lead. The blanket, burpee and bibs are topped with the funky fabric, lined with warm and natural and backed with cozy flannel.

With this dramatic entrance she brings with her the stench of skunk and the doggie door curtain. Dale is racing around trying to catch her. Anyone that knows Dale knows that his only speed is “very slow and relaxed”. When he speeds up it means something drastic has blasted him out of his usual aplomb. Hearing Dale moving frantically about the house, hollering for <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> ( he never hollers either ) brings my eyes wide open and all senses on full alert. <span style=""> </span>I catch a whiff, discover <st1:place st="on"><st1:state st="on">Nevada</st1:state></st1:place> hurtling for the bed, door curtain still in place, making her resemble something out of a Halloween Horror Show, and I leap out of her way, tripping and stumbling over the bed clothes. After rather rapidly assessing the situation, I take off after <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> and she now has two of us chasing her down – me in my nighty and Dale is his – uh, well, skivvies – we finally manage to corner her and toss her out on the deck. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">A few seconds later I hear her panicking, screaming and scrabbling, at the door and head out to give her a piece of my mind. Before I could open my mouth, I am face to face with little Mr. Stinky. I am not quite sure who was more surprised – <st1:state st="on">Nevada</st1:state>, Mr. Stinky or <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Me.</st1:place></st1:state> I make a quick snatch for the door and <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> and I take a nose dive to safety pulling the door shut behind us. Before I could grab <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> she races to the living room and rolls on the chesterfield, then evading my desperately grasping hands, gives the area rug the same treatment. Tripping and stumbling, I chase her through the house, with Dale hot on my heels. She beats us to the bed and has another good roll there before Dale gets his hands on her. She is carried in a very undignified manner to the bathroom and the door is slammed securely in her face. Dale and I look at each other and the air turns blue with our cussing. Dale heads off to get his breakfast. I head off to mix the de-skunking solution, only to find that I am flat out of peroxide. I make do with dish detergent, baking soda and water. I fight my way into the bathroom which now is absolutely unbearable with eau de skunk. I quickly turn on the fans and open the window. <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> gets tossed unceremoniously into the tub, doused with my concoction and told very firmly to “stay put or else”. <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state>, for those that don’t know her, is a terrible weeny and she hates baths – particularly when it happens so abruptly. She has her legs spread and braced in every which direction. One foreleg is between and behind her hind legs.<span style=""> </span>One hind leg shoved forward to the front of the tub and between her forelegs, to keep herself from sliding forward. The other two legs are anywhere she can find a bit of traction for them. She shivers and shakes, pulls her limp noodle routine, and basically acts like she is being murdered. I get her bathed, dried, the bathroom cleaned up and stripped of anything that may carry the rancid odour. I do the same to the bedroom. And head to the laundry room.<span style=""> </span>Dale happily leaves me to it and deserts me for the golf course.<span style=""> </span>After a bit the smell outside dies down so I begin opening windows. Soon the smell begins to dissipate. And I think “ah – not so bad after all”. Not a direct hit but a spray in <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state>’s general vicinity. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think things are finally getting better and my son and Grandson walk in. The immediate look of horror on their faces and the grabs for the nose tell me that “no” the smell is still there, I have just become accustomed to it. The two of them do an about face and march straight back out the door, out the gate to the truck and drive away. Halfway home they call me. The hoodie that Caleb had left here the day before and which I had tossed to them on their march to the truck had assumed the vile odour and my son was driving home with it hanging out the window. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">So currently, 5 hours later, <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Nevada</st1:place></st1:state> is relegated to the floor – no soft surfaces for her till her smell improves. My washing machine is chugging away trying to dislodge the odour from my bedding and towels. Dale has not yet dared come home. I can guarantee he is taking his time with the greens this morning. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I cannot be sure that Mr. Stinky has vacated the yard.<span style=""> </span>It is very securely fenced with only one place where he can get in or out. I left the gate open till daylight hoping to give him another means of escape.

I especially have a fascination with vintage textiles and linens. This one in particular caught my eye. Tis the season and all.<br />It is a plain red cotton cloth with 8 replicas of the the candles/balls/ribbons and snowflakes all hand stitched or embroidered. Wow - what a ton of work was involved in the making of this. Having done my share of needlework I truly appreciate such items. However, finances intrude and I found myself wistfully listing this in my Etsy shop under Vintage.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisQp9GPE7nsc8Ie7CrU2sMKuUVfrb4YstJYF68unACJ7vmaEx7FuTiNZ6MtEydoQZIMsuS4HwjhTJbS38TsX-bptBtwIW7DBjzVYENL80HlDD2aTHGujQg_lx9nggMymi7uNN1SlQMHPE/s1600-h/100_3611.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisQp9GPE7nsc8Ie7CrU2sMKuUVfrb4YstJYF68unACJ7vmaEx7FuTiNZ6MtEydoQZIMsuS4HwjhTJbS38TsX-bptBtwIW7DBjzVYENL80HlDD2aTHGujQg_lx9nggMymi7uNN1SlQMHPE/s400/100_3611.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268978204699044322" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />I found this little gem in the same place as the Christmas one above - in almost pristine condition - it brings so many memories of my Grandparents - I remember my Grandmother having a tablecloth almost identical to this one.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2yaxgI_UgJGJQmvrX4kucWycKrWN5vpTvix16xqoX4qeoY0gWLAIOpotGUaeOAJZg3QcidBzkwvIQaNCf17Np_4phj74QD3Gz3k6Gskvczk4jYk6dMf-9K-V7hmxjSUtfVBpy7teJFKA/s1600-h/100_3606.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2yaxgI_UgJGJQmvrX4kucWycKrWN5vpTvix16xqoX4qeoY0gWLAIOpotGUaeOAJZg3QcidBzkwvIQaNCf17Np_4phj74QD3Gz3k6Gskvczk4jYk6dMf-9K-V7hmxjSUtfVBpy7teJFKA/s400/100_3606.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268977924881342258" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />And this last one - my Mom had the identical table cloth but in orange, browns and yellows rather than the green.

Often coming home empty handed but often enough I find some treasure I can't do without. Sometimes vintage fabrics and textiles, if not in great condition, find themselves recycled into some of my creations. I use cutter quilts for teddy bears, tote bags, coasters - you name it. Old chenille is a special favourite - and cutter pieces I use as linings in my totes, lining in baby bonnets, backing on baby blankets, again - teddy bears - whatever I can find to put it to a new and good use. In the picture below you can see one of my old quilt teddies. old quilt squares and bits of fabric, made into a baby size quilt, a rag doll made of scrips and scraps and if you look closely at the right hand side you'll see a primitive bunny made of recycled fuzzy fabric.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZjFbrP3WRZXuiQQ8nRppQLv6fishQSgOfUCTvfXtEfDcszfu2EVMfrLrNOvIE3fUhA_r_ocMm5OcejJdsBgXHzdFCN01-akLn37s2yykj6z9F0u4MP7YOpydp1g_WPH7fGfqpsFTS-6g/s1600-h/100_1743.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZjFbrP3WRZXuiQQ8nRppQLv6fishQSgOfUCTvfXtEfDcszfu2EVMfrLrNOvIE3fUhA_r_ocMm5OcejJdsBgXHzdFCN01-akLn37s2yykj6z9F0u4MP7YOpydp1g_WPH7fGfqpsFTS-6g/s400/100_1743.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268981574202377906" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Linkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00199789559694165376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456511227504445184.post-57805168934770718052008-10-16T18:24:00.005-04:002008-10-17T11:27:26.984-04:00Fun in the Sun<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNXjquhZ2noGxeGZoV215GXDUonk2B5VOR8C1ahpBh5NCzSJqp0a51nzMfACVA_-ITqcuAbclcCRgChAI5KkHNRdEl8BWDOgH9AeriMZQt89vcjhEcC2YvTbQGefiyO8-npZYZqHiU6c/s1600-h/Madison+bonnet.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNXjquhZ2noGxeGZoV215GXDUonk2B5VOR8C1ahpBh5NCzSJqp0a51nzMfACVA_-ITqcuAbclcCRgChAI5KkHNRdEl8BWDOgH9AeriMZQt89vcjhEcC2YvTbQGefiyO8-npZYZqHiU6c/s400/Madison+bonnet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258144155078253346" border="0" /></a><br />Here is my sweet little model at work on the playground<br />in a tiny tot swing - and of course wearing one of<br />my bonnets<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzm4jmaOhFAP1k9fJeCAjQYc0FZakcsELWRCnWOlHJ0rUypiVk0jxyGkdsc23DyylXW8sJlprGVOyDB5oH75WJOXgiXkDxfUjrnM8Q1kXlvUZtteaJEGQMb8Cy9GTY3aRCCfCRy5B7A3w/s1600-h/100_2476.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzm4jmaOhFAP1k9fJeCAjQYc0FZakcsELWRCnWOlHJ0rUypiVk0jxyGkdsc23DyylXW8sJlprGVOyDB5oH75WJOXgiXkDxfUjrnM8Q1kXlvUZtteaJEGQMb8Cy9GTY3aRCCfCRy5B7A3w/s400/100_2476.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258144041509727490" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A very feminine little sunbonnet for your little girl.
