Friday Finishes with Bean!


I finished one thing this week, Bean is more than a handful and I seem to spend most of my time taking him for walks or chasing him around the yard. He has so much energy, I think I could run him for miles before he tires out.

I was trying to get some snowmen pieces done before my sister gets here, so I made a tea towel for something different. I found the design online and now I cannot find my copy or where I got it from.

I did this one in simple colors and added the saying for fun. I also want to put a button star on the top of the tree, but mine are all prim colors, so I need to go shopping for some yellow ones.



Today we got a lot of outdoor play time. Yesterday rained all day so I think Bean had double the energy. More than once I had to chase him after he took off, into the surrounding yards. I use the leash for bathroom times to keep him focused on the task and then let him loose for play time. Of course every stick in the yard has to be picked up and put in a pile by the tree, he is building a stash of them.



We also went shopping for some supplies and of course that included some new toys, he loves dragging his squeaking, crinkling lamb around the house. Bean and I hope you have a wonderful weekend, filled with adventures and joys.

That is a really cute Christmas towel!

Wow, Bean has grown a bit in just a few days! He sounds like he is a typical Border Collie...my Molly will be 2 next month and she is STILL quite a handful.

That towel is darling!! Bean looks like quite the handful, lol - I've heard that Border Collies are bred to be working dogs, so they really need to be kept busy. He is too adorable!!! He looks so happy!

I just can't stand how stinking cute he is! As much as I love these active guys, I just don't know if I have the energy for that kind of dog any more! Love the snowman embroidery. My daughter saw one that was hanging candy canes on a line that she wanted me to do. I'm going to have to search and see if I can find the pattern.
