Weekend Wrap - 9/13/2010

I have been busy prepping for DogFest, and am super excited about all different Stay-Put Towels I have available for this event! I have also been busy redoing photos of Stay-Put Towels I had in inventory, and taking pictures of the new ones for the Etsy store (www.SpunkyDiva.etsy.com). Photos take a looooong time to take and edit, LOL!

As part of the weekend whirlwind of towels, I got two more sets completed for my Mom to go with her Kitchen window curtain. Mom was my second Etsy customer. Thank you Mom!

Here are some photos of the property as it dries up after last weeks Hermine encounter. We only had about 2" here in Elgin, but friends received as much as 15" (or more) and had massive flooding. I am very thankful we are up on high ground!

Our pond/stock tank filled back up.

Here you can see the bare ground from where the horses sacrifice paddocks were before our big fence overhaul Labor Day Weekend. The exposed dirt just soaked in the rain.

We already have scads of baby grass popping up! Rain truly is a miraculous invention.

The horses enjoyed getting as muddy as possible, LOL!

And the puppy dogs where happy to be dry and clean!

Ms. Diva has figured out how to stack and unstack her little discs. But, of course as soon as I pulled out the camera I could not get a picture of her and them, LOL! She is not yet walking. She could, but is lacking the confidence to let of something (she prefers to hold a finger while walking). She is loving the pool, and splashing unsuspecting people that get to close. And, it seems that her favorite pastime in the car is now 'singing' along with the radio. Which is very, very entertaining, LOL! I so hope she inherits her father's voice rather than mine.

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads. No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best . Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland. Most of them I had heard of before. But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable. You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work. Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.
