THE STATE OF THE UNION

I would bet that you're all just dying to see my latest stitchy progress pics, right? Well, I'm afraid that we must interrupt this regularly scheduled program for an important message from our sponsors.

It looks like a pretty peaceful scene....a living room in the Midwest. Letterman on the tube, stitchy things next to the big comfy chair, and the cute little dog asleep on his perch. Domestic bliss? I think not.

Exhibit A:

And then there's this:

After closer inspection, a certain"attitude" was detected. When confronted, the suspect acted as though he couldn't be bothered to answer the questions put forth:


So I proceeded to stomp about cleaning up after Little Lord Fauntleroy and told him that if he didn't shape up soon I would be looking into military academies for the fall. We seem to be having difficulty lately, and I can only assume that it's the alignment of the planets. My sweet little pup is slowly turning into a moody-ass teenager and I'm not equipped to deal with it. We've been through acne and dating dilemmas, but now methinks he's all torked-off because I refuse to let him drive and get his own apartment. Damn dog.

Nope....you're not seeing things. That really is my nine-pound bundle of joy sticking his tongue out at me. I swear I heard him say "Military academy? I've got you're military academy right here."

I've almost finished the class project and I will post pics as soon as it is completed. It is supposed to be finished into a long pin keep, but I am going to make mine into a frame weight for needlepoint. (See? Always thinkin'.) Amazing what comes to me as I lather, rinse, and repeat.

  1. Hi Coni,

    Sounds like he's just being a typical teenager and having hormonal problems! :-)

    Now if he holds up one of his front legs and says "Talk to the Paw" or says "OMG" you are in big trouble! ROFLOL!!!

  2. I'd send Spike over to give the little dude a dog-to-dog chat but he's passed out in a sugar coma from an ice cream treat.

  7. Too funny - thank you for the laugh! :-) I must say that Stewey *always* seems so cute and reasonable to me - a sure sign (as is always the case with teenagers) that *I* don't live with him...... rofl. Hang on in there as I daresay he will pass through this phase one day, grow up and have teenagers of his own - then he'll know what you went through...... :-)

  10. Hi Coni,
    Maybe Stewie is hanging out with the wrong crowd. You should probably check out his friends. You know when teenagers get into that rebellious stage and think "they know everything".

    Love all the pics. Keep us up to date with you WIP, you do great work.

    Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog. I will definitely be putting this one on my blog list.
