A Noodle Flinging Sweetheart

 

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day!  Mine was great, I can't imagine a more fun day.  We had Sugarwings till noon, then I played with puppies and afterwards, went junking a bit and met up with my husband to go see a movie (Taken- very gripping and scary) , then pick up Thai food (there was no way we could fight the lines to go to a restaurant!!) and ate it while watching a rented movie (My Best Friend's Girlfriend- predictable and stupid, but had its fun moments, I like dumb comedies). 

 

This photo is from Bella's new family. Yes, one puppy is gone already.  It was hard to let her go, but she is just down the road at Teddy's house, so I will get to keep up with her and see her as she grows up.

 

These roses are a custom order for someone, I thought they'd be pretty to show for Valentine's Day, even though that was yesterday.  I usually consider a holiday to last a bit longer than just the one day.  We celebrated Friday night too, and I guess I will just consider this "Valentine Weekend". 

 

For Friday night's celebration, we took the whole family to a Japanese steakhouse.  Sugarwings thought the fire was a little scary, but really got into the chef throwing shrimp into everyone's mouths. She was kind enough to share  too, and thought she'd toss him one of her noodles. 

 

We've had to move the puppies out of their pond and make a barricade for them in the studio, they have already gotten big enough to climb out of the wading pool!  I made a  couple little videos of them if you'd like to see the fluffy babies in action, go here.

I also made a studio tour video, but it was too big to load. I need to figure out just how long they can be, because it really was pretty short.  But too long for Flickr I guess.  Maybe YouTube allows more time, I should try there.

 

This little noodle flinger was her Daddy's Valentine Sweetie.

Oh- I forgot to announce the winner of my 2 year Blog Anniversary! It is

Your painting of the roses is amazing. I'm glad to hear you had a good Valentine's Day and by the way the puppies are adorable.

Hi Karla,
It sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day. The puppies are absolutely adorable. My husband is sitting next to me on the sofa with his laptop. He heard the puppy video and started watching. I showed him Sugar Wings and your portraits of her. He is also an artist. He said to tell you that you do great work.
Blessings,
Lorilee

The puppies are adorable. And that picture of SugarWings and her daddy together is PRECIOUS!

[Michele]

Those puppies are just the cutiest! I really love that pic of Sugarwings and her daddy...that's one to treasure forever!

Hugz,
Michele

[Karen Young]

Karla, you have the right idea, I always think every holiday should last at least a weekend. We also went to see "Taken" very well done, but scary.

Looks like you had a great Valentine's celebration. I loved all the eye candy.

Hugs karen

I've heard the max on youtube is 10 min .Those puppies are just getting cuter and cuter...Sugarwings and her daddy together...priceless. Laurie

[LiLi M.]

Great that you had such a fun Valentine weekend. We are not used to celebrate it, but we had a nice weekend too though. That puppy video is soooo cute. They jump so funny, just liket those little toy puppies. You are right to let the first one fly away close to your home. I can imagine Sugarwings throwing noodles back, too bad that you didn't tell us whether the Japanese chef could catch it, or is he just an expert in throwing? lol

[Rachael]

They are so CUTE!!! Lucky little Bella is just down the road, I would be an emotional wreck each time one 'left home'! Love your rose panels, divine! Little Sugarwings is getting not so little . . . Rachaelxo
