My big girl has been slowly weaned from her crate. She had just gotten a new raspberry crate bed but we decided it was time for the crate to GO! She's been doing really well hanging in the bedroom during the day with the option of either crate or my bed (she's baby gated in the bedroom). Typically she's on my bed instead of in her crate so I decided to move the crate out.
I'd gotten this bed for the boys a few years ago at Sam's so Nola needed her mark on it. I had some fleece that I'd planned to make a blanket out of but opted to use it for her bed.
The new space!
So far, so good... we'll see how the week goes. She's still a little confused but I'm hoping it will go well. And now she has toys in there too because there's extra room.
I realize I should blog this on her blog but I'm lazy so, it's here. Deal with it. :P
Nola hasn't heard back from Teddy and I recently saw that he emailed another girl. He doesn't know what he's missing! And that's okay. Nola has had her eye on Milk Kirtley, a boy from our fellow RRUS friend. Oh that Milk is a handsome one... Look at her eyes, she's practically BEGGING him to love her back...
She can't understand why they haven't yet been able to play. She is SO intrigued by him!
Without further ado, please meet Milk. We're sure that although he was at a fun playdate with other dogs in this picture, he was surely thinking of Nola. That gorgeous pink tongue is all about some Nola.
Isn't he a beauty???
I think Milk is her #1 boy. Allyson... what do YOU think??? ;)
NOLA LOVES MILK. She's going public with her love. (Or mom is pimping her out... you decide.)
So, Kelly is doing a neat little home tour to share inspiration... I don't think I have a whole lot of inspiration in the room featured this week but I haven't had too much going on to write about so I decided to take a couple of pics and join in the fun! I'm hoping to get some ideas from everyone else to make this room a little more spunky!
I love this quilt, I ordered it on clearance from either Garnett Hill or Company Store, I don't remember which. I used it on my bed (full sized) even though it's king but later (after a foster dog ate one of the comforters on my twin beds) I push my two twin beds together to make a king. Now, I only use this bedroom when D is in town b/c it's big enough to fit us, Nola, and Luka and Finley!
Nothing fancy... this room used to be the room I put things in that didn't fit anywhere else. My condo has such little storage it's ridiculous really... My neighbors moved and gave me one of their TVs so I have a cheap little Target stand for it. The bookshelf holds all of the crafts that we sell to raise money for windows and orphans in Uganda. We participate in several markets here in town and set up shop to sell baskets, crafts, beads, and other items from Uganda. I needed a place to store things so went to Walmart and found a shelf for $30! It's nice because people can come over and "shop" if they prefer. (People I know of course!) Hope Aid has been able to raise quite a bit of money from the crafts. We're working on getting more bead necklaces to sell, can't wait! We're also working on a maternity wardproject.
