Oh, Christmas Tree

Yes, I know it's February 11th. So why am I singing a Christmas carol? Because today, February 11th, I finally took down my Christmas tree!

As mentioned in previous posts, I have been very busy. Today was the first chance I've had to even think about anything other than getting out orders. I have heard before though that if you leave your tree up until after the new year, you'll have good luck. I guess this means that this year is going to be a great year for me.

Now there's a big empty space in the corner where the tree was. Looks like I need more furniture. Off to the furniture store to get two more chairs so Deb can finish decorating and hanging my paintings. Then you'll all get to finally see my before and after pics of a two year project.

Time to catch up again

Here's a brief overview: (Sorry if you're tired of hearing about nothing but dolls and dogs but this is my life.)

Sunday 1-23:
*We still have 9 puppies in our house. Made flyers to give to everyone to post at their jobs.
* Noticed Paisley's ear is all puffy. She must have an ear infection.

Monday 1-24:
*Took Paisley to the vet. They drained 6 cc's of blood out of it, cleaned it and gave her treatment for ear mites. They also told me she has cancer. They can do all sorts of things to her, none of which would be painless nor prolong her life. They could not tell me how long she has. I opted not to have an x-ray done at this time. Except for her ear, she seems fine.
Wednesday 1-26:
*Millie found a home. We sold the first pup. Yay!

Sunday 1-30:
*Paisley's ear is all puffy again. I need to take her in to get it drained again but she hides under my bed all day and I can't get to her. She only comes out at night to sleep with me.

Tuesday 2-1
*My business is booming but I closed my online store for the month. I need to catch up on all the orders that have been coming in. Business is booming but I need to be able to offer some new things. After I get caught up, I plan on making some new designs of my own as well as use patterns from other sources. I'm hoping to be able to add at least 10 new items, maybe even more. I also need to purge out some of the old. What I'd really like to do is find a web designer to re-design my website. Someone who is not going to charge me an arm and a leg.
*Captain Jack Sparrow finds a home. Pup #2 has been sold, Yay, Yay!

Thursday 2-3
*Went out for an hour or so and came home to 11 rolls of toilet paper shredded all over my house. This is just one small area they covered. It was also in my bedroom and in the kitchen.


*Maximus finds a home. Pup #3 has been sold, Yay, Yay, Yay!

My orders are getting done on schedule, even a little ahead. This will give me more time to make new stuff. I'm hoping I don't let myself down. I always seem to have great ideas then when I actually do them, they turn out nothing like I had imagined. This time, I am going window shopping and taking my camera.
