This Man of Color

Ohhhh

"I do have my dignity you know".  Here's the original and he's very patient with his human.

 

Itzy Bitzy

It's a sockie.  The color is actually dark pink and she stands up all on her own.  But that's the only trick she does.   Made from 2 ankle socks.  The top part of the sock was cut off to make the rim around the neck which hides the stiches and she's all hand sewn.

And she has a very happy disposition.

Inspirational Pink

View Janeys Journey's map Taken in (See more photos here) Inspiration is just right in front of you.  From urnial.net to my pretty pink Ikea chairs.  I found this really funny website called Ikea Hacker.  They have a flickr acct too.  People post pictures and how tos on changing their IKEA stuff.  Ikea is so cheap and so ubiquitous that if you decide you don't like it, you change it or buy one at a garage sale.  So I drew my pretty pink Ikea chair in different colors I might use if I change my mind about pink (not likely). And I found it to be very zen like, drawing the chair again and again and yet again.

One less then 4 = one more trip

Well you see I decided that the white chairs plus the white table in the dining area (not really a room) was just too white.  So, off I went to Ikea. I think I might becoming one their regulars.  Did you know that they opened a hostel at a Norway store for the people who just didn't want to go home?  Really.  Anyway, so off to Ikea and I got these nice pink chairs instead. 

I put 3 chairs together, I'm getting rather good at it.  Then there was the 4th chair.  Put it together and the last screw wouldn't screw.  Not only would it  not screw but it was like the people in the hostel in Norway, it wouldn't come out either.  I spent an hour getting that darn screw out of the chair all the while praying I wouldn't scratch the chair.  Didn't. Take my glasses off and hold that screw right up to my eyes and there it was.  A dent.  A damaged screw.   Which means of course another trip to Ikea to return and get another pair of legs.  Not tomorrow.  Even I can't go 3 days in a row.

But my pink chairs are nice.  And they have built in poka dots.

Walkee?

Before: Wanna walk?  Wanna walk right now ok now let's do it ok?

After: I"m not one to say I told you so but if you'd have listened to me when I wagged my tail we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

Zoe in a Basket

An Ikea Morning

Finishing my kitchen tile at 6am this morning.  Then off to Ikea to get a cabinet for the opposite wall.  I don't really need a kitchen table when the dining room table is a step away and I need more storage.  My friend dbd is getting my kitchen table.  There was a tall cabinet next to the window which isn't there anymore because it blocked the light so less storage space.  And you see that corner between the window on the left and where the cabinet ends?  2 glass corner shelves are going there.  Cookie jars are garage sale finds.

So a small stand alone cabinet from Ikea. It's called EEFEKTIV.  You pick out the parts you want.  It can be a kitchen cabinet or a tv cabinet or a file, single or double, stacked or not, glass doors or plain, legs or casters or none.   It's neat.

"What? No, nope, not me, it wasn't me I wasn't anywhere near that rug. It was the cat, I'm sure of it. What? we don't have a cat?" "Well, give me a sec here, I'll think of something".

Tie one on

"You gonna make me wear this thing in public?  In front of the other dogs?"
Here's the inspiration.
