Bug Hunting

This is Miss Bug. Within the last six months she fell and badly hurt her leg so I carried her up and down stairs until she healed. Not long after that, she got into a big container of organic raisins, plus part of the second container and spent an emergency night at the vets as they thankfully, got the raisins out before she absorbed them. 

Best vet EVER!

And if that wasn't enough to rock Bug's world, shortly after that, she got stung by a bee and had an allergic reaction, foaming, swelling and off to the vets we went. No overnight stay, they gave her meds that calmed things down quickly.

Again, best vet, EVER! 

So that's our Bug. Half shepherd, half beagle and all trouble. 

In other news, the couch we had in the office, that moved into the snug is too low to the ground. It's always been. So I flipped that baby over, make-shifted a platform and legs with what I had on hand. The goal was the raise the couch without a trip to The Home Depot.

Eventually, I'll build a better couch, this one will hold us for now. Building our own couch, absolutely on my Builder's Bucket List.

I love using only what I have on hand. No new money spent. Couch higher. Smoochie Face's knees no longer hurt when he sits here. Win, win. 

And that my Boogerbutts is all that's fit to print. 

Talk again soon. Huggs & Bugs, Me.

2 Posts in 2 Days ... Say Whaaat?

What is this? Two posts in two days? Eh, why not? I'm in kooky fun holiday spirits and in real life, I really am wearing a Santa hat. 

Is it kooky or kookie? How did they spell it on the Addam's Family? 

Yesterday I didn't get squatolla done with cleaning. Happy to report that today, dish is DONE! I also whipped up Cinnamon Maple Butter, Honey Butter and another test batch of homemade Alfredo sauce. 

All three things in my new Vitamix (pics and recipe to come), and none have dairy.

Hot dog!

Lastly here's the table I talked about yesterday and the tethering photography station. My camera connects to the desktop via that orange wire and the image appears on the big flat screen monitor. So if there's say, yet another dog hair on a doughnut, I'll see it on the BIG monitor right way. Rather than see it later in post, after everything's been cleaned up and I've eaten the doughnuts.

A photography area in this spot wasn't part of the original plan but by gosh, it's gonna be good. Can't wait to share some of the good foods with you. 

Chat again soon.

Knock Your Socks Off!

Hello Boogerbutts! Whatchya’ doin’?

I'm in the middle of top coating a new table/wood bench I built over the weekend. I'm also cleaning the house today (sorta kinda). And if that’s not enough to knock your socks off, it’s also new banner day!

In other news, the office is coming along very well. With the couch, TV and big bean bag in the snug (other room), this office feels like a proper work space.

Here are a few pictures. 

In other news, I don’t remember the last time I took a shower so I should probably add that to my list. 

And in other, other news, I cannot get over how much space we have in this office now. There's a wall of books, a computer desk writing area and then room to paint and stain. Also, a photography area for tethering. Which I'll show you once that's set up. 

That my Boogerbutts, is all that's fit to print. 

Huggs & Bugs,
