New Year

It's been a while, a very long while actually. Every time I've meant to write I've gotten distracted by something else.

It's once again January 1 and Gin's birthday. This year he got a vulture to play with.


On October 25 I started selling stitch markers on Etsy under the name BeaGin Design, and people seem to like them cause I've sold 100 sets since then, more actually. And I've had some custom orders that never even made it to Etsy.
In order to celebrate how well it's going I decided to have a give-away. The only thing you have to do to enter is to leave a comment on this blog-post before noon(my time which is CET) January 6 and then I'll use a random number generator to tell who won.

The prizes you say?
I'm giving away

one set of small color coordinated stitch markers,


2 random sets of small markers


and 2 random sets of large markers.

It is not the random sets on the photos but something similar.

ETA: I should add the the store is quite empty right now but it will get re-stocked once I get home and have the chance to make more markers.

Long time no write...

Well... It's been ages since I blogged last, sorry! Since then we've been to a big dog-show in Norway, it was so much fun even though Gin decided that judges are horrible horrible persons and that he most definitely wouldn't show his teeth or let the judge touch him at all. Oh well, guess we'll give it another go after he's out of his teenage-phase.

I've also some some planting of flowers in pots on out porch, here is how it looks now.
Gin decided that the photos needed more Shiba-butt in them :D

Spring is here!

Spring is finally here, and I've got the photos to prove it :D





There is also photos from our walk yesterday, it has been way too long since we took any new pictures of the dogs so here they come :)

Beautiful Bea!

Tigerfight!

Bea and Gin on a bench.

Hunting Gin... he's going for the kill of the tiger toy we brought.

Flying Gin.

Gin is doing his best at showing him self even though the angle isn't the best :)

This is the same snowpile that you can see here

Fun in snow!

Since we've gotten crazy amounts of snow this winter and got some more the last few days I felt it was time for some photos of fun in the snow =D
I'll let the photos do the talking today.

No, he's not lying down, he's standing on top of more snow =D











I'm actually standing on a smaller pile of snow, the "hill" the dogs are on is at least 2 meters high =D


Our front door, our apartment is the windows to the left of the entrance.

What a diffrence a year makes

I can't belive my little pup is already one year old. It seems like it was only yesterday he was this small.
He's the one in the middle, photo was taken by breeder Helene.

Here he is at 8 weeks on the day we took him home.


And then his ears started to rise so he looked like this.


And he grew and grew. And we started showing him on dog-shows which went very well, he became BIS-2 pup on a big show in August.


And here are a couple of photos from the last week and from his birthday yesterday.

Photo taken by my dad on chirstmas-eve.

With his birthday-present.

Gin one year old!

Bea also got a present but cared more for the treats :-)

Socks and Elephant

I've been knitting a pair of socks for my self the last month, and they are finally finshed. They are a bit too big but who knows, they might fit better after I wash them even though I seriously doubt it. But they are fine for wearing indoors and maybe even while I'm out if I'm wearing the right shoes.


After I finished I started a pair of socks for mom, On-Hold socks by Wendy Johnson They knit up really fast. I'm 1 inch short of starting the increases for the heel. Yay!





In elephant news... Gin has finally ripped all of the filling from his blue elephant. It now makes me think of the harness they lowered the cow with in Jurassic Park when feeding the Velociraptors... after they finished it that is... Here's a pic...




And to finish, here's a pic of Bea and Gin having a rest on the couch.

Office-dog no 1

As promised a photo of Gin working as an office-dog ;)

Office-dogs

I work for a temp-agency and the last three weeks I've been working in our office.
What I like the best about working in our office is that I get to bring my dogs with me to work. Yay!

Bea thinks this place is creepy and prefers to hang around the kitchen keeping watch.
Gin thinks it's great, lots of room to run around and play. And you even get treats every now and then. And there are other people than "mum" and "dad" to pet and play with him! Yay! Or rather "Woof".

Pictures will come when I get home and can upload them from my cell.

Dog-show no 2!

We went to our second dog-show yesterday. It went great! Gin was BOB, Best puppy in the Group (BOG??) and.... BIS-2 puppy!!! Yay!

Our first dog-show

Me and Gin survied our first dogshow.
Result? Gin was BIR and got an HP. They didn't have a group-final for the puppies, instead we went straight to BIS, he didn't get any placement there though. I think he was too tired, and had to poop, and he refused to do it there. But four very first dog-show I'm very pleased.

Here's a photo from today.



Roger and Bea were there as well but we didn't show Bea. She needs to lose some weight first...and gain som fur...she lost her "pants" last week.

Gin & Bea

I finally found a puppy-class in the club where I want to go, Södertälje BK. It starts on May 4th. Hopefully we'll get a spot, I did reply only hours after I got the email stating that they we're going to have another puppy-class.

I also entred Gin to his first show, it's on May 21th. I think I'll be more nervous than him.

Bea and Gin gets along great! They play a lot! He never wins...it might seem like he's about to win when they wrestle but it always end up with her sitting on top of his head *lol*

He grows quickly, he already weighs 7,1 kg, well he did last wednesday at least. I think he'll be about 7,5 this week. I have to find a way to measure his height though.

Here are some photos of Bea and Gin!
