November started with a bang. I took my vacation (Thursday was my last vacation day...) and have watched cooler weather change our late Texas leaves.
 |
Vacation days = breakfast with friends!
|
 |
If you look closely, you can see what Arwen is focused on - the ducks that fly in every fall to take refuge!
|
We participated in our first local craft show. While not lucrative, it was a learning experience and now we have 1 show under our belts! WooT! Next stop, City Lights in Dallas in another week or so.
 |
Our 1st craft show! Want to sign our guestbook?
|
The same night of our craft show, we attended the Vetro GlassBlowing Studio's Glass on the Tracks annual art auction in Grapevine, TX. Each year, they select certain pieces of glass art to be put under a massive, wooden, glass-obliterating guillotine. The studio's owner then calls out names of attendees and asks them questions about the studio, their process and some of their more famous pieces. If the person can answer the question correctly, they can take home the piece for free! If they are wrong, the piece goes up for a 30 second auction. If the reserve isn't met, they smash the piece! It's heart-wrenching, for sure. Matt was called up and having been on the Vetro Glass website a few weeks prior, answered his question correctly. We are now the proud owners of a very beautiful glass rondelle! He has since wanted to be called "The Winner" at all family gatherings. **hanging head in embarrassment **

Picture doesn't do this Nebula justice!
|
While on vacation, I decided I'd try a little change and dyed my hair! This way, if it was a horrible train-wreck, I could fix it without added embarrassment. This was my first ever attempt at hair-dying and actually kind of loved it! Matt has decided that we should dye Arwen and Fenway black also, so that our neighbors would think we have 1 dog that looks smaller and fuzzier at times. I've vetoed this suggestion.
You've lost this battle, Winner...

A whole new world of coloring fun has been opened to me - where have I been all these years?!

At least now everyone can see that Nyxie is my daughter!

"You look like me now, Mom!"

The colours of the Nebula are beautiful. Have a super Sunday.

Hi hi! Just stopping by because we haven't seen new posts in a LONG time! We've had quite a few changes in our home -- Nala went to the Rainbow Bridge at age 16 this past January, and just a week later little Jax came to live with us (he was just 2 months old when my family rescued him). He's had a couple of surgeries for hip dysplasia (last month and just last week), and he has a long road ahead of him until we can play together outside... but he's doing OKAY. Hope all is well with everyone!
ReplyDeleteHugs & woofs!
~Bailey, Jax & family <3
We heard woo left for da bridge Arwen, we bid you Godspeed. And we paw peace to those who knew you,
