Howl Stitch Dog, Howl.

Stitch is the smartest dog. He's been trying to get enough inspiration to howl like this for a while. All it took was a rooster crowing alarm clock sound. He did the best howl EVER and I recorded it with my phone. It's dark footage but you can see enough.

Stitch, perched up on the bike with Billy.

I took this picture back in February. We were hanging out in the back yard and Stitch jumped onto the bike with Billy. I wonder if they make little helmets for dogs. We were trying to figure out how to transport him from the new house to the old one when we were moving. Billy said he was gonna zip him up into a backpack and wear him. Or, just put a little grippage pad in front fo him on the gas tank. A dog can dream.....

Amateur Artworks & Another Stitch Moment

Such a good dog! I love this little guy. This is a picture I drew on my Nintendo DS with a program called 'Colors'. I's a homebrew program. That means that nintendo didn't make it, someone who knows how to make stuff like this made it. It's a progran where you can paint. It's set apart from the other similiar paint programs that are out there becasue you can send your drawing to an e-mail address via the Nintendo DS wireless internet. I could play it all day. But then when would I crochet? I did this drawing yesterday.

I like drawing girls in a row. I've done several.

Check This one out.


This hansome dog is so well behaved and cuter than anyone knows... I left my camera over at my mom's or else I would post the pictures of his 'girlfriend', a dog we rescued from the street a few days ago. We had her overnight, and the next day we took her to the pound to see if she had a micro chip and she DID!

For the love of Stitch...

Stitch Dog, Itch Dog,
Wicked Little Witch Dog...

My dog is named Stitch. He was named that by the first family that he lived with. He has ears like the little blue monster from that Disney movie. He can be mischievous, just like the Stitch in the movie. For most of time, he is a complete joy to be around. The name suits him well. He loves to play with his 'babies'. He has never once had an accident in the house. He has a very obedient nature and he's smart as a whip. He is real eager to please and quick to learn. This dog has the most 'tricks' of any dog I've known. I recently taught him to say 'Hello.' He's only about 2 years old, still acts like a pup. Have you ever seen a dog as cute as this? Can you guess what kind of dog this is? (yah he's a mutt. But what kind of mutt?) I was told that he is a dachshund - lab mix. (That's a Daschsador.) But every single dachsador I've seen has been in photos on the internet and they all have the floppy ears. I get asked by strangers all th time, "What kind of dog is that?" I've been known to say that he's a "Texas Chihuahua". If Texas did have thier own kind of chihuahua, it would be the same as a regular one, only bigger. Right? This dog looks very much like a giant chihuahua from Texas. He has slick fur like a seal. My friend, Courtney used to call him 'Seal Headed Baby'. He acts really babyish, real cuddly. He never (almost never) licks anyone. If he gives a kiss, it's a special deal. He will give you a little nose nudgy, but for the toungue to actually lick the face is rare.
I can go on and forever about the little guy. I'm not feeling really well right now. I've been queasy this morning.

Welcome.

Hi. Welcome to my blog. Despite the title, there is nothing here about fishing. I'll be covering topics like crochet (that is done with a Hook), funny lyrics for our favorite songs(the lines), Nintendo DS games, life with Billy, and our dog, Stitch. (The stinker!) Life is so full of material to fill up a blog with. Chock full.

Crochet is a french word. Very often, purposely pronounced 'Crotch-It' as a term of endearment. It's helped me to begin my recovery from a serious Nintendo DS addiction. I still play Club House Games - Billiards every day. Billy is always supportive of whatever compels me at the moment. He 'hooked' me up with a hooks he got at the thrift store yesterday. It was about 20 hooks and a little zipping up leather case. Thanks again, Billy! Stitch, my dog, gets his yarn on too. That's my yarn, Stitch! You can't have it.

I've been wanting to set this blog up for a while just so I could have something to look back upon and refresh my waning short term memory. It's so much harder to remember things now that I'm older. I'm going to be 35 this year. Whoa, that just hit me. I knew how old I was, but typing that sentence just now planted the reality firmly into my mind. Eventually, I may learn to write patterns and give them away. I find patterns to be overwhelmingly cryptic. I'll start from a pattern, with good intentions, but soon I've converted to free form.

This blog has also been born as a sister-blog to Playin' Hookie at Work , which is my sister's blog. She's the one who taught me how to crochet recently. She's a natural born whiz at anything textile. She sews, crochets, and needlepoint or cross stitches -- all that. She comes over and we post up with our yarn and our hooks and have a full on Stitch & Bitch that can go on till 3 in the morning. She designs the coolest shit! She made some little booties for Newborns in Need and they look like little tennis shoes. She's doing a Hello Kitty face right now.

I'm working on a few different projects all the time. Never just one. Right now, I'm making a pillow for Billy.

Sidecars are for Bitches.
