We had such a nice holiday weekend. Of course, any weekend when we get some Sugarwings time is a good weekend.
Add in some pups, and there couldn't be a better way to spend some time.
Then, today was craft day and we took a few puppy breaks outside to enjoy the day. This little tiny girl is the one we have decided to keep. She was going by Glinda, which we like, but since we won't have a whole passle of pups any more, we won't really need to stick with the Oz theme, so we might change it.
I've kind of liked the name Agnes. That was my Grandma's name, and my cousin suggested it for the Name the Puppies contest. I had told her that I loved the name but would save it for a baby we keep some day, not one that was for sale. At that time, we didn't realize we were keeping one.
Since Twinkle got so ill, I simply had to keep one. We might never have pups again! I'd kick myself for not snagging one for myself if there were not any more coming in the future. I also decided that Beth needed one. Her birthday is coming up but I just couldn't wait til then to surprise her, I had to tell her today.
We are going to have a blast taking the two pups with us everywhere. Can't you picture us pushing our flea market carts with the dogs in them when we go to Sparks and White Cloud to shop? Its going to be so much fun to have the puppies play together under our work tables while we cut and glue.
Beth is not ready to take one home yet, her husband has a trip planned and they want to wait till he gets home to be a part of settling in the new baby.
Its so fun to have a houseful of them, I'm glad I get to have Beth's pup around for a while too. The other two are for sale now and it will be too quiet around here when they leave.
They are so funny right now, running and fighting and wrassling. Quite a few of my photos were just blurs, since these guys move so fast.
Not everyone around here is as impressed with the babies as I am, though. Our old tom cat has eaten rabbits bigger than these guys. He can completely ignore how cute they are when they try to get his attention.
Not me. I'm smitten. You might have noticed by my blog becoming a Dog Blog. Sorry guys, bad news if you are sick of puppy pics, they are still coming. And by adopting Agnes Rose (or Agnes Fae?) into our lives, that means we'll have a never ending supply of fuzz ball photos.
See what I mean?
It might seem like it, but I don't spend ALL my time giggling in the garden with Dorky Babies and Fairies. I've gotten quite a bit of new things made lately. This is the May Giveaway Prize. Kind of late to announce, it, huh? If I was trying to drive my readership by offering giveaways, this is not the way to do it. Announcing it after the giveaway was over would be pointless.
But I do them because I enjoy them and I have tons of crap, I mean- cool stuff- in my studio to share.
So this little mini book goes to:
There is new stuff in the Boutique too. I took a few hours to list a ton of it the other day.
A few of the vintage paper pieces that I made, but not all. I'll add more of them later.
Quite a few pair of earrings that I made from vintage pieces.
And some junk jewel bags for you to make something with.
Some junkier than others.
By the way, there is a JUNE GIVEAWAY starting now. All comments, all month count. I'll come up with a prize and let you know. Hopefully not after the fact again, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
Yay! You’re keeping a puppy! Keep the pics coming.
Love the pics of Sugarwings.

I’m happy we’ll be seeing more puppy photos, too! Love the junk jewels…
Who can resist pictures of adorable puppies? They’re also such natural clowns!
Hi Karla,
Ohhhh, I would never get tired of the sweet fuzz ball
photos!! Keep them coming please. : )
Wow…….what a precious and wonderful Birthday gift for
Beth. I would be bouncing off the walls with happiness
to have a precious puppy as a gift. I hope Twinkle is
doing better and I am glad that you are keeping one.
What happened to the sweet Parti boy???
I love them all Karla!!
Hugs,
Janis
I’m so excited I won your giveaway! Thank you very much!
I’m also happy you are keeping one of the puppies and another one you will get to see all the time. That way you can take more photos! You have to be one of the best puppy photo takers I’ve seen. They are all so darn cute!
How do you get those shots? It looks like they pose for you.
Hugs,
Joanne
Congrats to the winner of the forgotten giveaway! Yeah, I’m glad you are keeping a pup. I bet Beth is tickled to be getting one, too. Has she named hers yet? This way you and Sugarwings will get to see hers all the time ~ a win/win situation!
I’m having a Wedding Blog Party on the 25th (my first time ever as hostess) so I’m hoping that you’ll be able to join us ~ come take a peek at my blog and see if you are interested. There will be another sweet giveaway, too!
Big Hugs,
Stephanie

Aweee….she is so cute and I’m glad you are keeping her! Lola’s pups are still sleeping and eating – opened eyes now. I can’t wait till they get to the stage yours are at – then the fun begins!
Keep the photos comin’!
Have a great day
Rochelle
I’ve really enjoyed the puppy photos!!

Beautiful photos of Sugarwings ❤ I love the junk jewels!
Great idea for a birthday gift for Beth! Love to see much more of these dogs so just go on!
Good morning. Who could get bored with pics of pups. I’m really happy that you decided to keep one. I used to breed Siamese cats, and although I did it for 20 years, it never got any easier to part with the kittens. I ended up keeping far more than I should, but sometimes in a litter there’s one that just grabs your heart and won’t let go. So enjoy your little ones and don’t stop taking pics. Blessings
Keep the pics of the pups coming, I am vicariously a dog-owner through your blog. I’d love to have a dog but I am not home enough to make it fun for the dog too. Maybe one day, when I can quite my day-job….
I love seeing your puppy pics, so please don’t stop.
my daughter adopted a doggie from the society…her name is Bettie…(bettie paige) and now she it thinking of fishnet stockings…for halloween..or whenever…lol…bettie is a boxer…
keep the puppy pics coming!
Hi Karla!
I NEVER get tired of the sweet little puppy pics…and these guys are so tiny, even when they’re grown their pictures are STILL adorable…DO keep us posted on their whereabouts and happenings!
I DO LOVED the altered album you created with vintage “crap” (aka cool stuff). Beautiful!
LOVE the puppy pictures! And all the fairies. And congrats to Joanne for being May’s winner. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for June. HUGS!

I love puppies and altered books. I think I’d have to keep them all–pups and books! My dear friend is a bookmaker/collager/jewelry maker/quilter. I think you two would like each other. She made the wedding book for both of our sons. First, she actually made the book! Then she did a lot of collaging inside and out in the wedding colors and themes. They are treasures!
Thanks for sharing the “beauties”.
Best,
Bonnie
I could look at puppy pics all day long!
More, More, More!

Sugarwings is so cute in that top photo with all the puppies.
I love the puppy pictures, no complaints here if it becomes a dog blog.
Hi Karla: How many cats do you have? Love the old Tom cat. Does he have a name? I think you need to post about the cat (or cats) sometime. I love cats, but can appreciate a cute dog. Just love that Parti Pup!
I love the puppy blog!! I thought you were keeping 2 for yourself, but I guess you took one for you and one for Beth!
So, can you fit one of the dorkies into your suitcase on your next trip to Raleigh?? And how much do they go for? Since I know you are not a puppy mill I would feel better about getting one from you….I WISH I WAS CLOSER!!!
I am glad to hear that you will be keeping one of the puppies. I think if it were me I would want to keep them all.

Oh, I won’t ever get tired of puppy pics. I’m glad you’re keeping one of the babes! And how fun to have one of her siblings living with one of your best friends! Yes, I can see you now pushing your flea market carts…too much fun.
Well, I for one won’t tire of the puppy pix! These guys are adorable! I wonder what Buddy will think of Beth’s new baby? I suppose if Mr. Tom can restrain himself, so can Buddy!
Your puppies are just too cute! My favorite pic is of you in your studio area, oh the eye candy that surrounds you! WOW! Have fun!
Karla, who would ever tire of puppy and fairy photos!?! Such sweetness is not easily found, so enjoyed all the more. Your creations are beautiful. You’ve been a busy bee! ~ Angela
what adorable little babies!! You are soo blessed with little furry friends! Thank you for sharing all those cuddly fellow with us! 😀
Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day!

Karla,
I never get tired of looking at puppy pictures!! And I also love seeing your wonderful creations!!
~Cindy~
wow, i love you work space! and great projects and puppy pics as well!
I love the photos of the beautiful puppies, but I love the ones of Sugarwings even more… Together, it’s magical! Have a good week.
Dear Karla,
I have enjoyed your puppy pictures so much – please keep them coming. I don’t think I could part with any of them but I know you can’t keep them all. I want one so much. I have a Westie and she is so jealous of me and won’t share me with any other pet. Some day I will own one of these delightful fur babies. I am so glad you are keeping one. My MIL was named Agnes – she was such a sweet person.
Hugs,
Connie
That’s a great photo of you and puppers in your studio, Karla. Love it! And how fun that Beth is going to be getting one of your puppies – those little guys will be able to be best buddies 🙂
What a beautiful May prize. And those puppy pics are priceless 🙂
The puppies are looking spectacular!!! So is our Lilly Pie!! I am trying to avoid making my blog a puppy blog, too. It’s pretty hard to though!!
Lilly is wearing a collar today….first time ever. She climbs stairs (a few) now and hops faster through the grass everyday!! We all LOVE her to absolute pieces!!!
xoxo
Just LOVE that wee sampler book…so gorgeous!! Maybe that could b the prize!! 😉 lol…your puppies are adorable! Thanks for sharing.
Fun pictures of SugarWings with the pups! Puppies have a charm that wins the hearts of many! Keep writing books for you grandaughter! What a wonderful heritage she will have!
