Thank you. I guess i'll just have to wing until I get it right.
Melanie,
Huskies are without a dobt the most pack oriented breed when it comes to dogs.. Most individuals function best in a pack. Jamie does not have that, so she have used us as her pack where I am the alfa.. We have a saying here in Denmark that goes something like this: Ecual kids plays best.. The same goes for dogs. You can even see huge differences between different breeds.. The huskies plays rough.. Very rough.. They would not be able to do that with a chihuahua, or even a labrador, because their "language" is different..
The two girls in the picture are siblings :p If you want to have a look at their everyday life just take a look at this site: http://mesmocan.blogspot.dk/ and click where it says "Hvalpekuld".
There you can see the breeders adult dogs as well as the previous litter + this litter where Silver comes from..
They are very happy dogs..
Her full name is Silver Flame, because she has a hint of golden fur as well as the grey.. I really look forward to watching her grow up..
I found a solution to my stair problem.. I will get a chip for the elevator tomorrow (thank god, I hate those stairs).. They need to see the papers from my last pregnancy.. So I do not have to go through my doctor and a physical therapist.. YAY..
I posted one FREE knitting book for Kindle for today...grab it before it's gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for pattern content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make patterns kind of difficult to read.)

Melanie,
Beaded box is cute, and I really like the dishcloths. Had done some a long time ago. I haven't crocheted or knitted in over 30 years, yes 30. The same was with cross stitch, which I picked back up about 2 years ago. (My job went away the end of 2012, so I started SS a little earlier than I planned, and hope not to have to find another job at this point in my life. That's why I'm trying to manage my own investments.) I had been an at home mom while my girls were growing up, and did handmade crafts as Christmas gifts every year. Don't have pics of any of those. This blue house cross stitch was done back then, one of few that hang in this house (I had worked part time in a cross stitch shoppe way back then). Love Victorian houses. This was one of my first cross stitch projects, so aside from colors, very few changes from the chart.
Last fall I picked up this stocking that had been started 30 years ago and did some work on it, but still wip. I decided to make the stocking longer because of other stocking patterns that I like, that I "plan" to make. I have a 2-story house, and thought it would look nice to have multiple stockings hanging on the railings, but I want them to be uniform in length even though not all on the same cloth. This pattern is from an old Cross Stitch & Country Craft magazine. Many changes from the original chart. There was supposed to be a name at the top which I changed to a window with a snow scene and added the ribboned holly. Wallpaper is changed as well as the items on the hutch, plus lightened the colors of the tablecloths. Not sure how the rest of the bottom will work out. So it was put aside to contemplate.
Started this pic then. I picked up this kit "Red Tea Set" on clearance, but too much red for me, so decided to convert to a Christmas pic instead.
Going to be a silver teapot in the left back. The revised design is not all worked out yet. Thinking of a window on the back wall, perhaps an evening sky. I found a buffet image online having a fancy designed drawer for the display to be sitting on.
The last piece I'll share now (started a couple months ago) started as the top right quilt on this cover:
then I shifted the window to be centered behind the quilt, changed the railing to have turned balisters, used the plants on the ground from the butterfly quilt lower left, decided to add a screen door from the quilt upper left, choosing to recess that part of the porch.
However, the screen itself will be in shades of gray as if the door is opened behind it. Added the chair from an online image run through your cross stitch program as well as the screen door to make them proportionate to the rest of the pic. Adding a couple steps, and climbing roses to frame both ends.
I'll send more another time.
No, I've never done any of those gowned ladies, just admired them. I've not done beaded work either, but I love the beaded Victorian purses someone shared on your site. I may just have to introduce myself to beading.
The walls in most of my rooms are also pastel, but almost every room has one of more accent walls. The master has a deep periwinkle blue accent wall behind the bed. The dining room a deep blue green accent wall behind the hutch. The family room also the same deep blue green wall behind the armoire. I think I have pics of the rooms when I refi'd 3 years ago.
