This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a weenie race. Yes, you read right – a weenie race!! It was held at Mayfair and hosted by the Dachshund Rescue of Bucks County. It was the first ever and Floyd surprised the heck out of us by taking third place in the adult division! He took first in his first heat,
then ranked third in the championship race.
I’ve never seen that many wiener dogs in one place. And the funniest part? Afterward was a hot dog eating contest – HAAAHahaha!!
We managed to get some great shots of our little racer plus some other quick doxies. Enjoy!!
It was incredibly hilarious and we’re psyched for next year! Maybe some t-shirts and signs? Racing stripes? All I know is, Floyd’s totally ready for a rematch!
Hobbies For All
May 18th
When I’ve had a long, trying day within the confines (my loving term for sitting in my grey cube for 9+ hours a day), very few things are better than walking into my sunshine filled sewing room and just collapsing. I don’t even necessarily have to work on anything. I just love to revel in the nicely folded, color coded fabric stash and the drawers of beads, paints, and sketchpads just waiting to be pulled out.
We all have our releases and this fine weekend, my husband had the opportunity to revel in his for hours upon hours. He even had a captive audience! The photos from the whole experience were just too great not to share. So here it is, my husband and his father painstakingly cleaning their cars and the resulting beauty shots.
My husband’s father just bought his dream car which he’s been coveting for years. Recently the right amount of luck and timing all came together and it’s now his, all his. Well, and half his wife’s of course 
It’s a 1986 Mercedes Benz red something or other. It’s only 3 years younger than me, but is in about 10x better shape.
The results: A photo shoot for convertibles only. The husband’s baby is the silver one, a 2002-ish BMW silver convertible (I know, you’re thinking, “she knows so much about cars and sewing machines! What a lucky man, that Mr. Bruno!”)
I guess we all have our hobbies right? And I do take lots of photos of my quilts and such so I guess this isn’t too odd. Maybe.
The best part? It gave me hours of guilt-free crafting time. Thank goodness for hobbies!!
