Mr. Chewy time again!

Yea! Mr. Chewy again very generously offered Jacque and Pippen the opportunity to test 

a treat new to them! They love treats and they love mail!!

After I wrestled the box far enough away from them to safely use scissors to open it we found inside an adorable box of treats! I love packaging! 

Seriously?? How awesome is that packaging? Love the color and the font and everything! I wish you could see it. Totally awesome. Anyway, back to the treats and the doggies!

These treats are chicken pot pie flavored treats by Good Dog. See that right at the 

bottom of the back picture? Made in Minnesota! Yes! I always look for treats 

and other dog products Made in the USA. We may not be perfect, but I trust our system much more than that of other countries (Canada being the exception).

The chicken pot pie treats are wheat and grain free and the most adorable little bone shapes! They seriously smell delicious, just like chicken pot pie! I did not eat one...but I took a nice long whiff!

YUM!! Order them from Mr. Chewy!! 

Noodlehead Divided Basket Pattern

On a whim I've decided to blog a bit about a sewing project I finished today! It was super quick and fairly simple. I'm a pretty experienced sewer, so keep that in mind. I've been snowed in for the last couple days and finally really sitting down to actually make something!

The pattern is the Divided Basket Pattern by Noodlehead. This is maybe the 4th Noodlehead pattern I have? Anyway, I have many of them and I love them all! The instructions are always very well written and easy to follow. There are great pictures and she also has good information about construction on her blog. I think I've even emailed (probably through a comment on her blog) a question and gotten an answer back! Check it out below.....

The fabric is by Robert Kaufman and it's called Fly Away. I won it a few years ago from Southern Fabric. This project seemed like a great time to actually cut into this little 1/2 yard stack! For being such a good size this divided basket really didn't take up that much fabric. I cut out the pattern, fabric, interfacing, fusible fleece and assembled this little basket in about 2.5 hours (approx. I am measuring time as in 10 mins of This American Life podcast, the latest Men In Blazers podcast and about 30 mins of Pop Culture Happy Hour for the sewing part).

If you're in the market for a pattern like this I highly recommend this one! It'd be great for filling with awesome items as part of a gift or for keeping patterns in - which is what I am going to do!

Influenster: Celestial Tea #ArtofGreenTea Vox Box

I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive a Vox Box from Influenster! I think this is the 3rd or 4th box I've received. Each box is filled with goodies to try and review. It's a lot of fun! If you are not a member go join Influenster now! 

I received a box with two types of tea. Sleepytime decaf green tea and Honey Lemon Ginseng tea. I also received a coupon for a free box! 

Each packet contains 2 tea bags. I am drinking the Honey Lemon Ginseng right now. It's really delicious! It has a very nice subtle taste and it's really soothing my recently sore throat. I like my tea pretty weak, so it would be nice if the tea bags had strings to make it a little easy to remove the bag and use for another cup later, but of course I could just use a spoon! Honestly, it hasn't gotten that strong.

I've had the sleepytime tea before, but it's been years. I'm looking forward to trying that later tonight!

Mr Chewy Treat Time!!!

Hi! We got another chance to review some treats from Chewy.com! Chewy.com is a website that sells all sorts of yummy and good dog food and treats! You can have food auto shipped so you don't have to run out to the store to buy more food for you precious little furry kids or have to feed them 10 biscuits each for dinner! Ha! Not that I would know or had to do that today or anything.....

Back to the treats! This month we received some Fromm treats! 

You can find them on Chewy.com here.   

Yum mom! What are those?!

As you can see Pippen is very interested! These are the grain free chicken with carrots and peas flavor biscuits! YUUM! Let me tell you that they smell delicious....like maybe I would even like to eat one!!

If only Pippen could fit her whole snout in there and just eat them all!!

Jacque and Pippen both LOVE these! They smell good, they are good for them and I am confident they are high quality which is really important to me. Another winner from Chewy.com!!!

Happy Jacque!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas goodies!

Pippen and Jacque were so lucky to get some great Christmas gifts this year! We participated in Jazzi's Christmas gift exchange.  Jazzi's human is so nice to organize this every year! It is a lot of work!

We also got a wonderfully nice gift from Angus Fala! He is one of our first Scottie friends from Twitter and Facebook! 

What spoiled little Scotties I've got here! They loved all their gifts and I loved the awesome Scottie tin of shortbread from Angus as well. We are very thankful for all our Scottie (and doggie!) friends. 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!

Two presents! Poor Pippen had to wait for
Jacque to receive his too! Pippen leaves all the
opening to Jacque.

Pippen really loved this toy. She snatched it right up
and ran away with it! It's an awesome fleece toy that
says "Bite Me" on it - funny!

Both Jacque and Pippen checking out Angus' gift!

Look at these goodies!! Jacque wants some shortbread!

I think Pippen can smell Angus and Ainsley on the card!
