A New Way to Recycle

We started with this...

Added one of these...

With some of this thrown in the mix...

(metal landscape egding is exactly what that is)

And we ended up with this...

Which resulted in a serious case of doggy anxiety, almost requiring a large prescription of Xanax for the dog and myself. So we opted to get rid of the cone but needed to keep the dog from licking her bandages right off her feet. My husband thought a pair of hiking socks and duct tape (lots of duct tape) would do the trick. The dog looked like a duct tape experiement gone very, very wrong.

Some rummaging through the house and I came up with this solution...

That's right, Baby Legs for our furry baby. Now isn't that better?!

And yes, they were spotted on this baby last summer...

And the best part is, we have more than one pair...

We think Lola will look dashing in a purple pair for Easter.

So yes, if your dog also decides to chase a squirrel, run along the garden edging, cut her feet, tear her tendons, bleed all over your lawn, require emergency Sunday night surgery, followed by bed rest (just try to keep a dog down), chaos with a doggy cone (definitely the mark of shame) and a rigorous schedule of drugs, bandaging and care then you too can stop by and get some Baby Legs for your furry baby.

P.S. Yes, we will be very busy repairing the garden edging this weekend so the kiddos don't get hurt. I'm pretty sure they would object to a cone around their neck too.

Two's Company, Three's A Lot!

Following up on our Facebook sneak peek last week...

...Here are some pics from a fantastic baby shower this past weekend (ahem, we're slightly biased as we were helping shower the lovely Alex). The mom-to-be is expecting not one, not two, but three! The starting point for the theme was inspired by some fabulous fabric pieces her sister created. Colorful, bold and full of owls. From there, it was all sure to be a hoot, hoot, hoot of an event. And it was - thank you Mere for the sangria! Delish!

 

Childhood photos of mom and dad-to-be were a nostalgic treat.

A trio of posters by Amy at Express Yourself for the three babies!

Perfect for the nursery.

Fabric owls by Mere (sister of mom-to-be) and some delicious apps to appease.

Favor mini journals for guests to grab when they go.

Making wishes for Alex and the babies with The Flying Wish Kit.

A favorite of ours!

Lots of gifts. Then again, there are three babies to shower!

A little Baby Bingo from Knock Knock to keep everyone entertained.

Some delightful handknit goodies made with love by the grandma-to-be.

Oh, diapers! More please.

This box will last a day with all those babies. Really.

The beautfiul mom-to-be and her three.

A favorite and popular treat.

Marshmallows hand dipped in chocolate and adorned with pistachios,

graham crackers and dried cherries. So easy and so delicious.

And finally...

We couldn't resist a little play on three (three!) babies.

Happy Shower! Happy Day!
