Pieces of Me

Dogs

I love my dogs. Just thought I would let everyone know. I've been working alot the last few days and haven't gotten to spend as much time as I would like with them.....I find that I miss them when I'm not with them. But how could you not miss these faces?
Ok, from the top....we have Jack Bauer. Yes, for all you "24" fans out there, we named our dog Jack Bauer. Jack is an American Pitbull Terrier. He's about 18 months old, and the biggest baby you will ever meet....I mean, really, look at the face!! I carried him around so much when he was little that now he thinks he should be carried and held all the time (he weighs 60 pounds!!) He also sleeps in the bed, first and last dog I will ever let do that!!

Next we have Aussie Dawg. He's 100% All American....AKA a mutt. We love him though. I adopted him from the Bryan, TX SPCA back in May of 2002 when he was roughly 12 weeks old. He celebrated his 5th birthday in Feb (at least that's his estimated birthday). Aussie is finally starting to get used to the fact that "that other dog" is not going anywhere.

Ok, I've rambled on enough about my babies. Just thought I would introduce them.....and now we're going to go outside and chase sticks!!

Crochet all day

2007-07-12T14:01:00.000-04:00

I spent the whole day yesterday writing up patterns and crocheting doll clothes. I'm really happy with the way everything turned out. I even managed to turn an "oops" into something I think will be a hit. Of course I can't find any batteries for the camera, so I can't take pictures and get everything listed, but I'll get some batteries tonight.

Etsy

So I have an Etsy account (www.handmadebyTrish.etsy.com) but it has nothing on it. I can't figure out what to try and sell. I can sew and I can crochet and on somedays I get really good brain storms and turn into quite the crafty person......but will it sell? So I'm going to list some things up there and see how they do, I've got a couple of patterns I've been working on so I'll put those up there. I guess I better get to work!!!

My newest obsession is going to waterfalls, or "waterfalling" as it is apparently called. It all started when I found out that there is a beautiful waterfall about 5 minutes from my house.....http://www.cs.utk.edu/~dunigan/landforms/m.php?wpt=WSF001
Well, come to find out, you can't visit that one anymore (because people are idiots and don't respect other people's property) but there are about 100 more within 2 hours of where I live!! So I have made it my mission to visit as many as possible.

My favorite so far is Dudley Falls, but this is probably because it's the only one I've been able to swim in....http://www.cs.utk.edu/~dunigan/landforms/m.php?wpt=GEF002
Here's a few pictures taken the day we were there......

This last one is me in the swimming hole at the bottom......my fiance managed to get me and not any of the other 20 people that were there that afternoon.

We have also gone to visit Laurel Run Falls, but it was a huge disappointment because we hadn't had any rain. But the picture on the front page of the blog is Upper Laurel Run Falls, and I think it's beautiful, probably the best picture I've ever taken.

On our next day off we're probably going to go back to Laurel Run Park and look at the falls again....there are 2 more in that area I also want to look at.....I'll keep you posted!!
