You guys are the greatest.

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful congratulations Tom and I received for our anniversary and thank you also for your kind and supportive comments regarding Sam and his injury.

Sam is doing much, much better. He went to the vet on Monday and his splint is now off. I still find it difficult to look at the boo-boos on his poor paw, but Dr. C says the wounds are superficial and should heal faster now that his foot is no longer wrapped. As far as the break is concerned, it has set and is healing nicely. There’s still some swelling and he can’t put his full weight on his foot yet, but the doctor feels it should only be another couple weeks before he’s the hyper hound we know and love.

Wait. Let me correct myself. Sam has been incredibly hyper for awhile now and his desire to play is as strong as ever, but we’ve had to do our best to keep him reigned in. In another 2-3 weeks though, he can let loose and puppydog party down.

As far as knitting, I haven’t gotten much done. I did, however, complete my very first sewing project - a small tote bag. I don’t have a picture of it but, since I’m working on a second one, I may have a photo or two to share sometime in the next couple of days. I’m using a fairly simple pattern that I found at Craftster and fabric I purchased at Walmart. It’s fun and I find it very exciting to be using a sewing machine.

By the way, I forgot to say that my mom and stepdad bought me a new sewing machine. It’s an early birthday present (my birthday is in October) and I love it. While I don’t have any desire (right now, anyhow) to sew anything extravagant, it’s kinda cool to know that I can now learn at least the basics of sewing.

What else can I share? I can’t think of much else. While I’ve been very busy around here, it’s a boring sort of busy that no one in their right mind would find interesting.

Ah well, such is life. Maybe I’ll have more to say in the next day or two when my tote bag is completed. I’ll have pictures, so that’ll be something… right?
