The Bees: I left the room... And my shadow DIDN'T. She stayed with @unbuzzedbee! This is a first, in her ~15 months with us. 🎉🎉🎉
The Bees: Working from home, or attempting to, due to an ongoing gastroparesis flare. Slight technical hitch. You know the classic PEBCAK issue (problem exists between chair and keyboard, aka the Id10t error)? In this case it's PUPEBCAK (puppy exists between chest
The Bees: In this house, Hockey Night in Canada means Snuggle Night in Canada. Coco is in position! She actually watches the game with @unbuzzedbee, following the movement on the screen.
The Bees: It turns out that a sweater-back knit for @unbuzzedbee is actually the perfect size for a dramatic cape for a pupperbean. Tres chic, n'est-ce pas?
The Bees: Happy New Year, friends. May your 2020 be as sweet and as lovely as a puppy asleep in a pile of knitting. 💖💖🎉💖
The Bees: #Sewists, help me out. Why do these (awesome vintage) hooks and eyes have both loops AND bars to hook into? Are there different purposes for them? Or are the bars used alongside? (The set is via @quailgarden's grandmother... And must be very fine indeed,
The Bees: Hershey sure loves @unbuzzedbee's petting. (Picture this as the companion shot to Coco leaning in me earlier... But Coco is currently outraged that Man and Big Dog have taken over "our" couch!)
The Bees: Back home, in our usual spot on the couch. Coco likes to sit up to see what's going on (today that's mostly neighbours shovelling)... Part dachshund, part meerkat?
The Bees: Good thing Petting Man has two hands.
The Bees: Liver treats are like doggy mistletoe 🐾💋🐾
The Bees: Bright eyes brat and long-suffering saint? #dogsitting
The Bees: Took the dogs out for a walk with Mom. Glad for ice grips on the boots!
The Bees: For all my #spoonies out there: how are you doing? I know even our tiny Christmas really took it out of me. Whatever your chronic "thing" is, I wish you quiet time to gather back your spoons and regain some balance.
The Bees: I'm so excited about this @timetosew zero-waste bag kit from @gilliancrafts. I mean, even the thread is gorgeous! The fabric is partly from recycled denim, the straps are from furniture, and the whole thing will be a glorious tote. Thank you, Gillian, and
The Bees: Wishing a day of warmth and love (and excellent food), and a year of health and growth, to you all. 💝💝💝
The Bees: We braved the grocery store one last time, and now the plan is not to leave home until after the Crimbo madness subsides. I'm settling in for some festive tv specials (and then hockey) and some armhole shaping on this #customfit sweater for @unbuzzedbee i
The Bees: Starting our holidays the way we mean to go on: with warm knits and a warm pupperbean.
The Bees: More iron! Hopefully the last for a while...
The Bees: Snazzy dresser at the office!
The Bees: I had several people ask for this recipe yesterday, in various places, so here is a nice tidy version. It IS my own recipe so I'd love to hear if folks try it -- hearing from people who made the white chocolate cranberry shortbread was such a thrill! Note
The Bees: This is probably the last baking I'll get done for Christmas, but it's an essential for me (and for @canladdie). Orange gingersnaps, packed with zest and fire.
The Bees: A low energy day today, but such good company in my blanket fort. 💕🐾💕
The Bees: Orange Peel Carollers packed the pub again! Hark hark! Hail, hail! And Chime on!
The Bees: Baking today, so Coco is wearing her cookie-tasting bandana from @ollieanddud. Wish I could have gotten a photo earlier when she came in from the snow, and we suddenly had a reverse dalmatian!
The Bees: Morning mood.
The Bees: I bought Coco a couple of custom-made bandanas from @ollieanddud -- check out this perfect dachshund Christmas fabric! The bandanas are cleverly shaped at the neckline so even the stumpiest legs won't trip. (Coco's perfect attentive pose courtesy of the n
The Bees: Look at this gorgeous honey from @littlesplines and her backyard hives! It tastes of sunshine and long warm evenings outdoors. 🐝🐝🐝
The Bees: 😍
The Bees: Pumping iron... #anemia
The Bees: A most festive pupperbean. (Everyone wants a chance to decorate the dog today!)
