Has it really been 8 months?



Wow.  My floral design blog sure has been neglected.  Working a full time job kept me from taking on any big floral design commitments in 2012. Plus the addition of a puppy to our family in October gave me lots of things to do that certainly did not include flowers!  Luckily a new puppy is a fabulous muse for taking lots of photos so my love of photography has not suffered.  My other blog, HousePet, struggled a bit for a while but seems to be back in action again.  I could talk about dogs and canine nutrition until I'm blue in the face so my blogging for a dog boutique is a fabulous creative outlet for me and successful for the store. Life is good and I certainly cannot complain about being busy and happy. 

Back to our new puppy, Minnow... 

Minnow LOVES to destroy house plants and floral arrangements.  She has broken many a vintage vase and plucked the leaves off so many of my green friends.  Until she gets her angst for plants under control, my house will continue to be a little less green and flowery.  Those that were lucky enough to survive have found homes in rooms behind closed doors or up on the highest shelves.  Aside from some naughty teeth, Minnow is a sweet pup and I'm completely smitten by her.  Watching her and Lottie run around and play warms my heart daily.  I love my dogs!

During the last 8 months, I have made a few floral and succulent arrangements and I'm striving to find some time and inspiration to be creative in 2013.  I took a few photos along the way (mostly of Minnow and Lottie).  One thing is for sure, my little world will always include both plants and animals - that's my perfect balance.
