Late yesterday afternoon I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some things needed to make supper.  My husband took a cart to get some things as well.  Lilia went with me.  She did so well, less sniffing and staying right by my side.  It is a pleasure taking her in the store with me, esp. when my anxiety is maxed out.  I don't feel that I have to leave her at home when with my hubby.  He does not mind me dragging along, but I really don't think that he really wants to be by my side when I just want to look at clothes, craft items, etc.....

Today Lilia and I went to D.A. Hurd Library for our knitting group.  Lilia has her own plush rug to lay on under the table.  Amazing how many ladies do not even know she is there till she gets up and we are leaving.  I am so proud of my girl!  She laid on her rug, I give the "stay" command.  Went to the cupboard around the corner to get my coffee cup.  Than to the counter across from my seat, fixed a cup of coffee and small plate of coffee cake.  She STAYED!!  Doesn't happen when she can not see me.  That was awesome!  Lilia is always quiet in the Library.  There are a couple of ladies that she does feel the need to stop and get her ears rubbed by them.  Erin & Kim are two of her favorites.
The ladies are awesome all knitting & crocheting away.  Me not so much....  I put on stitches, ran out of thread, pulled them off the needles started again, some how after knitting my first row got them twisted....(circular needles).  I was beginning to feel like a newbie...  I have been knitting for over 45 years.  Today just was not going to happen.  Once home,  I took a break from the knitting.  Added some stickles to the cards I have been working on, had lunch, picked the knitting up again!  This time got the stitches on and 8 rows completed!!

Enough for today....  Have a wonderful evening!

A new day - a new beginning.

As this is my first time blogging and have not a clue if I am doing this correctly or not, I will ramble a bit. 
I am a Stampin Up Demonstrator.  I love making cards and books.  I also knit & Crochet.
My Service Dog is a German Shorthaired Pointer, 7 yrs. old and her name is Lilia.  She is awesome!
I will be posting cards that I make and will try to do this at least twice a week.
Have a great week.
