Dear Subscriber:
I apologize for this issue not being fully complete. I haven't had a chance
to get any new designs ready.
Please pray for us. Our Miniature Schnauzer, Schotzi, passed away on December
14th. He was almost 15 years old. This is so difficult, especially thinking
of opening gifts because Schotzi opened his own Christmas presents every year.
Schotzi Feb. 1991 - Dec. 14, 2005 |
Thank

"Now it came about in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all were proceeding to register form the census, everyone to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register, along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. And it came about that while they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her first-born son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."
Luke 2:1-7
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mightly God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Matthew 2:10

MOST IMPORTANT PART OF
CHRISTMAS IS THE FIRST SIX LETTERS."

I made this sweater for a Christmas present for my new puppy, Rhea.
She is a 6 month old Border Terrier. She seems to love the sweater. She doesn't chew on it or try to get out of it. Thanks so much for the super easy pattern! Happy Holidays, Diana Carlisle
I love to crochet and I am glad I finally found a website. Thank you

Hi. Yes, I did make my dog a sweater
using a red/white/blue variated yarn by Red Heart. Her name is Buttercup.
She's a golden retriever mix, small for the breed. She always wears a scarf
of some color, but to have a sweater like her people do! She just loves her
new sweater! She sits up on her hind legs to ask to put it on before we go
for a ride in the car. She weighs 28 lbs and is about 14" high (on all fours),
so I had to make some adjustments. It's the same style as the one Shotzie
has on. How fun! I really enjoyed all the pictures of the different dogs in
their sweaters too. I got lots of new ideas. They all look very proud in them.
Thanks for having the patterns on the internet. I can't wait to make more
doggie sweaters.

An irritated father complained to his golf buddy.
"When I
was a kid, my parents sent me to my room without supper if I
misbehaved. But my son has his own color TV, telephone, computer, every
computer game and CD player in his room!"
"So how do you handle it?" his friend asked.
"I send him to MY room!"
A local Pastor
joined a community service club, and the members thought they
would have some fun with him.
Under his name
badge they printed, "Hog Caller" as his occupation. Everyone
made a big fanfare as the badge was presented.
The Pastor responded
by saying, "I usually am called the "shepherd of the
sheep'...
but you know your people better than I do."
Little Johnny sat playing in the garden.
When his mother
came out to collect him, she saw that he was slowly eating a
worm.
She turned pale. "No, Johnny! Stop! That's horrible! You can't eat worms!"
Trying to convince
him further she noted, "Now the mother worm is looking all
over for her nice baby worm."
"No, she isn't," said Johnny.
"How do you know she's not?" said the mother.
"Because I ate her first!" answered Little Johnny.
There were three men sitting on a bench. Man1 asked the other two:
"What do you want your family and friends to say at your funeral?".
Man2 says, "I
guess I'd want them to say I was a nice guy and I took care of my family".
Man3 says, "I'd want them to say things like that too".
Man1 says: "That's
all nice, but me... I want them to say -
LOOK! HE'S MOVING!".
Tech support people like me spend our days on the phone with customers. Many like to chat while waiting for their computers to reboot. One man told me he'd been a long-haul truck driver.
I'd love to drive a big rig," I said, "but I'd worry about falling asleep at the wheel."
"Here's a tip to stay awake," he offered. "Put a $100 bill in your left hand and hold it out the window."
Why didn't the mouse cross the road?
Its cord wasn't long enough!

While working
for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
shut-ins, I used to take my four-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
She was unfailingly
intrigued by the various appliances of old age,
particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs.
One day I found
her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass.
As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely
turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
A burglar broke
into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables,
and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied
voice echoed
from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you!"
He nearly jumped
out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing
more
after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big
score, then clicked the
light back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the
stereo out so he could
disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you!"
Freaked out,
he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
"Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot.
"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."
The burglar
relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"
"Moses," replied the bird.
"Moses?"
the burglar laughed. "What kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?"
The bird promptly answered, "Probably the same kind of people that would
name a Rotweiller Jesus"!
