He's So Fly

Say hello to Mr. B, my oldest furbaby.  I had two days of vacation to kill so I decided to knit him a little sweater out of some yarn in my stash.  I have to admit, the yarn is gross.  It's like this faux suede junk.  The texture was awful to work with and I'm pretty sure I'm going to give the other skein and a half away.  The pattern I used also did not work out.  My boy is pretty husky in the shoulders and upper rib cage, so this sweater ended up being one big experiment.  Oh well, he's a dog and he doesn't have a say in what clothes I put on him.  Oh the joy of being a dog mother.

Here is the pattern it is based off of.  I used Lion Brand Lion Suede.  I'll never use it again.  Ugh! 

Tada!

It's FINISHED!!! My lovely husband completed our banister last saturday. We spent last night reorganizing and sweeping the deck. Isn't it purdy?

Here's a shot of our beautiful backyard. It's taken us a LONG time and a lot of moola to get it this green. I'd like to point out the lack of dandelions as well. Feel free to compliment and say nice things.

Here's my man of the hour with his hard work!

Mr. B is hiding, can you find him?

The next step is to do some minor landscaping and container gardening. We are incredibly happy to have the hard part of this project done! It helps to marry a handy guy. (Remember that all you single girls!)

Happy Tuesday Night!

Update: The Banister

Today I was thinking: this blog is officially over a year old and I'm not sure I ever introduced you to my DH Jeff.

So here he is... Blog meet Jeff, Jeff meet blog.

I made him take a photo standing with his newest project, our banister. He doesn't like having his photo taken, but he didn't have a choice. Neener neener.

This is the part where I brag. My husband designed and is currently building this beautiful banister! I'm really really proud and honestly, I think I'm the luckiest girl in the world. (Oh, he also built me that little rolling garden box.)

Mr. B and Shadow are pretty excited too. They're now allowed to spend more time outside since we can trust them to not jump off the side of the deck. See how proud they are of their Papa?

Have a lovely Monday!
