This rustic Bear Paw Quilt will keep you warm on cold winter nights. Bear Paw Quilt would fit nicely at the cabin by the lake or thrown over the couch. The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy. The overall effect is of paw prints in snow. On sunny days, the colors look so inviting it is hard not to lie down on them and take a nap.
Bear Paw Quilt is available from my shop.
See? I told you we were adorable!

When I was in school, the students approached administration and asked for Latin courses. The faculty said “No”. This is what happens when you don’t teach young people Latin.
Mommy also refers to me as Stinkius Buggus. I don’t get no respect.

While Toby’s bestie for trouble-making is Blue Puppy, his partner when it comes to food is Tiger. Tiger is actually a cheetah, but my family named the toy “Tiger”, and this is what I picture in my mind when they say it.
When Toby first started bringing me Tiger, I thought he wanted me to chase him. It took several tries before I realized that Toby was saying “Tiger is hungry too”. (D’oh!) So now after Toby eats he brings me Tiger, and then Tiger has his share.
Tiger waits patiently for his snack while Toby heads off by himself.
Toby had tried to steal a pair of pajama bottoms from the laundry to trade for food, but the more he pulled the more he closed the door on himself. Eventually he gave up and took a nap.

Mommy’s boots and puppies’ boots
After a day of play.
They go with us on our ADventures
and then by the door they stay.
Climbing hills, breaking trails,
They go wherever we go.
We take them off when we say goodnight
And dream of more days of snow.
Ooh, tough break Toby.
