My Magdalena Mayhem Progress

Ever since the Christmas tree went up this last year, our basset hound decided that is okay to eat or chew up anything she can find. She is nearly four & has never done anything like this before. We would come home to chewed up presents, ornaments, and toys. It was decided that the only way to keep her out of trouble while we were gone was to shut her in the bathroom. After the tree came down, I thought she would stop, but she hasn't. So this morning I am hustling out the door & I need to put her away in the bathroom when I find a sleeping Jimmy Dean in there sleeping on the dog bed. I thought maybe I would just move him as I have done in the past, but he just looked too darn comfortable!


Then I look out in the dining room at this poor pathetic creature and I think, there's no way I can interrupt them today. So Wags the dog got another chance. I quickly scanned the floors for anything she might get into. Much to my delight, I came home to a clean house with nothing disturbed.

Here is my progress on my Magdalen Mayhem rug. I may have to change the bird in the top left corner, but I'll cross that bridge later. I will not be able to post tomorrow, but you all are probably tiring of my ramblings any way! I will try to post again later this week. I will be hooking this Sat. at Ault's. If you live in the area, please join us from 10-4. No cost & lots of fun!

At the truck stop.

Okay, so it's really our upstairs bathroom. I call it that because it is where my two boys & two cats make their pitstops. Right now the upstairs in our house is pretty much kid domain. That is also where our nineteen-year-old, blind & deaf cat spends the majority of his time sleeping. So I am only up there to wake up, tuck in, clean & sometimes play. Because of this those boys can really make a mess out of that bathroom. I don't understand what on earth makes it so hard to fit the target after all these years of practice, but it seems to be mission impossible.

I do have some great primitve decor up there though, so I thought I would share. Oh yeah, & one more thing about this bathroom before you look at the pictures, this bathroom was remodeled before we moved in 6 years ago. So day it will have to have a redo, but because everything is new & in working order, it is stay as is for now. It is quite small, so I didn't really get too many of the fixtures in the shots. I did paint it, but beyond that nothing was chosen by me (the lighting especially.)

The rug is a Warren Kimble pattern available through The Woolley Fox. I have altered it to look like our beloved basset hound. Enjoy!
