SUNDAY GROOMING

For about a month now my yard has not been properly groomed because our yard groomer stopped his services.  My sons would attempt to clean the yard but we had several weekends of continuous rain.  I finally pleaded with the guys to clean the yard and clean they did.





OMG A WALKING BUSH



WORK WORK.

DESPITE MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES

DESPITE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES



THE GUYS GOT THE WORK DONE.....THANK YOU!!!!

OKAY NOW FOR SOME COLOR

 I WAS JUST SO EXCITED ABOUT PUTTING THIS PIECE TOGETHER

 WEEEE LOOK AT ALL THE COLOR

 COLLARS WENT ON

 PUG EARS SITUATED.  LOOKING GOOD

 PAINTED THE PUG SNOUTS

And then I stopped working.

I stopped working because I had tuned into /blog and learned of Emmit's passing.  I was devastated.  I had to pull myself together to comment so Melissa and Fred will know that Emmit touched my life all the way over here in Guam.  I loved reading about him and seeing him model the sweaters.

Emmit - thank you.  Life is an Art.  Blessings to you my friend and PUG HUGS.

FRIDAY-NESS

Alas Friday is here and busy busy busy was the mode at work.  We launched another Lexus model - the LEXUS CT200H.  Very sporty, compact, luxurious car.  Here I am with my colleagues:

LEXUS CT200h

I received a comment on my post yesterday from one of my ebay customers.  She owns 5 pieces that I made in the past.  It was wonderful to hear from her.




Pug happiness is finishing pieces like the other doll of the doll from yesterday's blog.  What a mighty fine pair of PUG-LIONS don't you agree?

Check out this little guy made from a pair of slacks that went into the PUG IT PILE:

The YING and YANG of it all went into this pair of pillows:

CHESTER IS DONE.  I shared CHESTER in the making a couple of weeks ago.  Isn't Chester cute?

The embelishment on this SIT PUG SIT piece came from Korea.  My husband picked up the doo-dads while he was stationed there.  This is a piece I will keep for myself.

And I finally finished a set of antique inspired pug dolls I entitled BUBLINTON

Happy Friday my Blog Buddies.  Until next time I share this pic of MA-kytah in her new comfty bed.

The Day of Thursday

It is the day of Thursday turning to evening as this 24th day of February comes to an end in Guam.  What PUGness have I done all week?  I attempt to do a little at a time on the pieces I have in production.  Sew a snout here, cut a pattern there; paint on a face, bead, stuff, snip.  Eventually there is pug creation and an end pug.



ta-ta-ta dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:

PUG-LION WITH DESIGNER EYES

Another Pot Belly Pug



Sit Pug Sit made from a skirt that landed in the PUG IT PILE




In the assembly line are antique inspired pugs that I need to name; more Sit Pug Sit pieces; and I'm drawing out some flying pug angels.  Can't wait to start on those.

I had to meet him at the entrance

We had a certificate and greeting cards presented by the staff:

And even a patriotic Lei

Then there was photo ops with the president.  This is my team:

MA-kytah Does Today's Blog

Hello Blog Buddies of Karen (my Master).  I am a bit bored right now because Ms. Karen has just been basic lately.  Me and my buddies get our basic walks outside; our basic meals; and maybe a basic pat on the head.

 Abbey feels the same way.  Awww look at her sad eyes.

 Ms. Karen being basic doesn't bother Max so much because when he is bored he just barks at everything that passes by the french doors,

Shady  gets really ancy when she doesn't get enough attention.  She does things like chew up Ms. Karen's shoes.

What has been keeping Ms. Karen so busy lately you ask?

BEADS   BEADS   BEADS

 She has been on a mission to finish these pillowy things that looks like me.

 Yep.........when she parks herself on her leather couch like this then that means she is working with BEADS.

 Wow wow weeeee - Look at her go.

 When Ms. Karen travels she always brings home beads.  She picked these up on her trip to the Philippines.

In her hands she has beads from Alaska. 

HMPH ----- BEADS.  We tried to play with Ms, Karen's grandson Xavier but as you can see he is too busy on the laptop.

Oh well - I hope the BEAD craze goes away because I want to be cuddled and played with.  Until then Blog Buddies I leave another pic of me being PUG PATIENT!!!
