Three Dawg Lady Designs

Good Friday evening everyone....well, today has just been wonderful. I've stayed in my pj's all day, and I still am. I had nothing pressing to do today...so, I have crafted and painted and made things all day. When I started this crafting journey back in early 2009 after my accident and became "disabled". I started with making jewelry, and I loved it. I made my own earrings, and necklaces, but, then I discovered all the other wonderful crafting things out there.....so it has been a while since I made jewelry, but, I thought this would be a beautiful holiday set to wear with your "cutest little black dress". I call this collection...Senorita Sunrise Faux white turquoise and coral close up Matching earrings I hope you like this set....and hope to make more over the weekend....Blessings, Deborah

OMG!!!! Can you say EXCITED!!! I feel LOVED, VALIDATED....okay...maybe I already felt that way....but for some other blogger to pick one of my creations and Feature it...well, I'm speechless!!! Please go check out http://www.violetimperfection.com Blessings, Deborah

OMG...I'm so excited...I'm ONLY 2 away from having 60 Followers here at Three Dawg Lady blogspot....and over on my Facebook...I'm 9 away from having 200 Likes...which is what I wanted for Christmas......Thank you all so much....it means more to me than you know. Ya'll all have a Blessed day.... Deborah

Greetings everyone.... Well,I finally got back to my painting after such a wonderful and "tummy filled" Thanksgiving....and I had seen a holiday card in a shop with little fairies on it.....and I got this idea to paint a cute little fairy flying around getting ready for Christmas. So here she is.... She is flying around bringing Christmas Stars to everyone Isn't she cute I hope she brings each of you some Christmas delight. Blessings, Deborah

HO, HO,HO.....I think I here Santa getting ready for the big night kids! Can you hear him? He survived Black Friday with all it's "hussle and bussle and pushing and shoving", and now he is in the home stretch!! I LOVE LOVE  Christmas...can you tell? It was....other than Halloween....the BEST time in our family. We had so many things that we did leading up to the big night when I was a little girl and my siblings and I would make "mile long" list for Mom and Dad to give to Santa. After Thanksgiving we would always go pick out our tree....sometimes that was from the "woods". As my Daddy was raised in the "woods of rural South Georgia", and their Christmas trees were always just cut down from "behind the house"...sometimes Daddy would get nostalgic and he would take us all "out to the farm" and we would cut down a tree......sometimes we would just "go buy a tree" which Daddy never likes. And, then we would all ga...

Hello again.... Late yesterday afternoon I ran to the store for a Coke...yes, I was craving one in that little glass bottle I love. Anyway, there were some folks in a parking lot having a yard sale. They were packing up and were basically just giving stuff away. Had a couple boxes that they had marked Free on them....so, while plundering I found what I think is a very old Mason Jar...one of the old blue ones. I've researched all morning...but I still need some help. It is so old that it DOESN'T have the word perfect on it. Also, has the original zinc lid with porcelain insert....has bubbles in it as if it was hand blown. But, I haven't been able to find anything else about it...or a really good site....so, I'm reaching out to all my finds here....can anyone help. Blessings, Deborah

Good Sunday Morning everyone....I hope that you survived Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and all the wonderful leftovers in the house....I know I did. We had a wonderful time at my Mom's and Dad's....my mom's great cooking....a visit with a cousin we hadn't seen in years.....and lots' of great memories made. Now let me introduce you all to my Spotlight of the Week....Danielle from Goodwillista! She is guest posting on Blissful and Domestic this morning and she is a doll. I read her post and went and followed her blog....she is a "kindred spirit"! Her blog is totally set up showing us all how we can dress, decorate, and craft all from using items found at thrift store. She has some beautiful things and she can be checked out at: www.goodwillista.blogspot.com. So check her out and look at all her wonderful ideas. And, by the way, do you like Three Dawg Ladys Chrsitmas Blog? Blessings, Deborah

Thanks everyone so much....I have tried to make my blog special and unique....I'm not as advanced in my talent or computer skills to have and make everything as some of you do. But, I put alot of love and thought into each piece that I may paint or craft that I may do. So, I want to thank you all again for your support....and I will keep painting and crafting...and sharing with you, my blogging family. Blessings, Deborah

Wow, I ate way to much, laughed til my sides ached, and cried when I had to leave. Thanksgiving was wonderful. Every time I'm able to walk into my parents home and smell the wonderful smells of my Mother's cooking and realize that I have been so Blessed to have them both another year, well, my heart swells more than the Grinch! As I've shared with ya'll, my friends in the "blog world that I so love", my Daddy has a brain disease called Pic's....and it will one day take him away from our family, he leaves us slowly each day. But, yesterday, he still had that twinkle in his eyes as we all invaded home again...he still knew whom I was as I chatted and laughed with him. So, I wanted to share a picture of my wonderful Daddy, who is and has always been my True Hero....I look horrible in the pic, but my Daddy was wonderful. I hope each of you had the privilege of spending this special day with someone you love and that loves you. Blessings, Deborah Daddy, G...

Was invited to join this Blog Hop Today.....Ccheck it out...

I wanted to take the time to thank all the "bloggin" friends out there that have become my friends and helped me along this journey. Tomorrow will be a very special day in our family, as my father has a brain disease that takes a piece of him away every day. Each day that he still knows who we are and can still enjoy being with us is a blessings. My siblings and spouses and most of the grandchildren will be there tomorrow and I will cherish every minute of it. I wish for each of you a wonderful and glorious day filled with lots of Love and Happiness. Happy Thanksgiving from Three Dawg Lady and me. Blessings, Deborah

Okay, I really, really LOVE sock monkeys! I always have. So, I started looking on the Internet and you tube, and craft blogs finding video's on how to make them. Of, course since I don't have a sewing machine that works right now, that was added stress on IF I could make one or not. So, after reading through many sites, I realized I could hand sew one....even if my carpal tunnel killed me, I wanted to try. It took some time, as the carpal tunnel did act up, and I had to stop and start more times that I wanted to, but....I made one. I have laughed over how it turned out so much that my sides are aching....I think it looks like a Cheshire Cat....lol.....but had alot of fun making it. Hope you enjoy my attempt! Blessings, Deborah Looking okay so far Cat Ears....lol Cheshire Cat Grin Can't  stop laughing!

Okay folks, everything has changed.....I gave blog a new streamlined  look.....brighter , simpler. Posts on one side.....badges, about me, blogs I party at....everything else on the right. Why, you may ask did I do that? Well, the thing is I don't craft everyday.....but, I do tell stories every day.....either with my sisters, Mom, daughters, friends!!! I'm a story teller, and well, my life reads like fiction. So, last night I have to tell you, I had a blast...just me and Odawg...yes, that is one of Three Dawg Lady's dogs. We were both snuggled up on the couch...you see, he really is my best friend. He loves me just the way I am....short, plump, and love able! LOL. So, I have my new Nora Roberts novel, the third installment of her Inn at Boonsboro trilogy. This one is about the "bad boy brother, Ryder"....and OMG...I can just picture him.....you know the type.....hunky, ripped, tousled hair, and a tool belt slung low on his hips! Well, you get the picture....s...

Do you know what country became the FIRST to allow Women the Right to Vote was? The USA ..right? NO...the first country to allow women the right to vote was New Zealand in 1893! Our great great grandmothers, and aunts , and cousins, and strangers that have "no kin" to us..Fought a very long battle to get EACH of us the Right to Vote! Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you how to vote...I'm not going to preach about faith......or tell you whom I voted for....or expound on the names I've been called because of a political button I may have had on when I went to the grocery store... BUT, I will tell you as a WOMAN, and most of the blogs I follow and the people that follow me are WOMEN....I will tell you that as an AMERICAN WOMAN it is important that all WOMEN VOTE! Go exercise that 19th Amendment and as an AMERICAN WOMAN....Go Vote! Blessings to you as you go exercise that RIGHT today, Deborah

Have ya'll had the pleasure of meeting Kristi over at "i should be mopping the floor"? Well, let me tell ya, that is one amazing talented woman. First off, I have to say when I started blogging at the first of the year, and started the long journey or reaching out and searching for craft blogs to follow, I was amazed that there were SO MANY out there! There is alot of talented folks out there...but not to get off topic, because anyone who knows me, knows I tend to do that. But, one day I saw her blog name...and I just started laughing, because at the time...the dogs needed walking, the clothes needed washing, and I had a whole stack of projects that needed finishing...so I loved her blog name first! Then, I checked the blog out and WOW, what can't hat woman do. She always post something so heartfelt when ever she writes, and her projects are beautiful! She had one project that I'm going to try very soon, and she painted a cloth chair! Just gorgeous. So, check ...
