Soaptacular!

This is the soap that B & A made. If you come to visit, you can use it. As much as you want.

Please enjoy these photos of a handbag that I crocheted for my cousin as a Christmas gift. I made it from some 100% Irish wool yarn from my grandma's stash. My mom taught me how to sew in a lining and clasp. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out, and I hope you are also.

Long Time No Post

Things have been a bit quiet over here at The Life of Brian. Ben and I took a last minute trip to the US for the holidays, which was a whirlwind of family, friends, and beer. We had a wonderful time, although we didn't get to catch up with as many friends as we would have liked, due to the last minuteness of the trip, combined with snow and the fact that my cellular telephone bit the dust.

Shortly after Ben and I left Portland, Tinkerbell, my loyal cat for 18 years, left us for that giant food dish in the sky. She lived out the last of her days in comfort and laziness, as any cat should. She will be missed by all that knew her, especially me.

So, once I get back in to the swing of things I should be posting more often. Stay tuned for new sewing and crochet projects, in addition to Brian updates, and a few other things I've got up my sleeve. In the meantime, check out this video of Brian doing his best baby elephant impression.

I Like to Ride My Bicycle

Ben fashioned a basket for the back of my bike, so we can take Brian with us on bike rides. He loves it! Especially because the bike rides end with a trip to the dog park. There is one which is only a few minutes ride from our house. The dog park has separate sections for small and large dogs. He really enjoys playing with the other dogs, and we have fun watching him.
