and the dogs protecting their Christmas gifts from each other -Maggie with Christmas Bone, Dec 06

Charlie and his bone, Dec 06

just a small note: it is January 13, and so far , between the two of them, they have only actually finished one of these suckers. Charlie is perpetually carrying the second one around with him, banging into walls and cabinets and dropping it on things like the floor and our feet, but is not actually eating it. He is, in a word, neurotic...

Special thanks to Tanya, for all of your help with the pictures - it worked!!

Tiny Tim!! Brilliant!
Love those mitts - the look so deliciously cozy. A mini cabled sweater - wow - that is impressive. I was wondering how decadent socks would be made with the Gloss. Love the baskets.
OMG! The pic your doggie sleeping with her bone! That is priceless. I am always stunned by how much she looks like my Kira - who should soon have hair as short as your baby's.

Maggie looks a lot like Kira, except that she is much, much bigger, and your girl's hair looks so much silkier - Maggie's is, well, a lot like sheep's wool, actually, until it gets long and then she gets rastas on top of her head...
