Well Hello There!Don't mind us.
We've been taking it easy, basking in the SUN!
No really.
That's why we haven't posted on the blog in two weeks! ;)
I know.You know.
That's not all we've been up to.
But when the SUN decides to SHINE here on Bainbridge Island I can promise you we're out basking, enjoying every glorious moment!
I really didn't mean to take such a lonnnnnng break from the blog, but in no time at all, two whole weeks had past. I've been knee deep in fabric, sewing for Bags by Bloom, prepping to open in March.
Can you believe what a beautiful little lady Miss Isabelle is growing to be?She's such a precious angel. She and Doogan are growing closer every day. She's the perfect little sister for Doogan. There have been times I've wondered if Doogan would ever grow to relax and enjoy this little Sweet-Pea.
I know it's hard to believe that Isabelle could present a challenge for Doogan. We realized early on that Doogan was desperate to see that Isabelle would not distract from the love, attention and constant care we've given him before her arrival. We could clearly see the concern in Doogan's eyes. There were times he would lay in my lap, watching her play, breathing deep and heavy. I could feel the tension building in Doogan as he watched her. This is when I realized Greg and I would need to devote an ample amount of time securing insecurities in Doogan that Isabelle was bringing about.I've also had to let go and take a back seat to the lessons Doogan needed to teach Isabelle. At times it seemed as if Doogan was being too hard on Isabelle. It hurt me to see Isabelle being scolded by Doogan, but I had faith and trusted that Doogan knew the importance of the lessons he was teaching.
Fortunately Isabelle has adored Doogan since the beginning. She's been very patient and forgiving as Doogan has sorted through the many emotions her presence has brought about.
Early this morning I woke up to find them both snuggled between Greg and I in bed.
It made my heart smile to see these precious furballs finding comfort in being near to one another.
Such a sweet journey that grows sweeter everyday.
What about you?Have you been basking in the SUNSHINE?
Hugs and LOVE from us to you!
Have a lovely week.
Thanks to Miss Judith for always being there to guide us.
Thanks to Miss Julie for keeping us so fluffy!
We love you both!

(formerly NanasKitchen aka Sweet Dreams and Memories...??)new blog PumpkinsandGinger re-releasing soon...maybe..if there is time in a day.
Yeah!
DeleteHello there Debbie!
So happy to hear from you!
Of course Bags by Bloom will ship to Canada!
Good Luck with your new blog!

Beautiful pictures! So glad you're back! So glad Doogan is enjoying Isabelle now! We have a Shih Tzu who was so terribly lonely while we were gone teaching during the day. We decided to get a friend for her and, I have to tell you, it was rough at first. Now they are best friends and more importantly it cured our first Shih Tzu's awful loneliness. Now, she is happy but not desperate to see us when we come home!

Awww...sometimes it's good to step away from the computer and LIVE LIFE! ;) But, I've missed you!!!
ReplyDeleteDoogan & Isabelle are so sweet. We got Spike & Bluebell at the same time, but he is very definitely the "alpha cat," and will let her know it. Can't wait to meet Miss Izzy in person one of these days!
Your furballs are sweet angels. They are a ray of sunshine for me. There is something about their eyes & their spirits that bring me peace. I will never get tired of seeing them. I'm excited for your business to open.
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to seeing the Bloom bags! Your style is pure JOY and I know you will be very successful. The furballs are so sweet...you're a great mom! Cheryl Ann
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your precious pups, and the puppy is growing so fast!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the opening in March! I know you must be so excited. YAY! YAY! YAY!
Doogan and Isabelle are the cutest dog names... AND the cutest dogs along with my Lucy... I know you are probably sewing away! Can't wait! Cheryl Ann
