Shameless Self Promotion

Well, really now, folks, what is the purpose of a blog if you can't shamelessly promote your own enterprises? So here we go...I know all ten of my readers have been waiting for this: here are the latest additions to my Etsy shop - avaliable in time for Mother's Day. Hooray! All modesty aside, I'm really pleased with the way they've turned out. And really, can you ever have too many scarves? Of COURSE not!

Feminine, girly, sophisticated and luscious, this hand knit beauty is the perfect way to spoil a loved one. The soft ruffles feel positively decadent when you put it on and it can turn an ordinary coat into a "WOW" outfit. Because I believe in decadence, this ruffled scarf is extra long and frilly. I mean, if a little of something is good, why not a lot? This imported Italian yarn is what you would get if you could knit with giggles, the laughter of babies or an old, dear friend. Are you an animal lover? Because, as always, a portion of the proceeds from the ruffled scarf goes to Heifer International, or a no kill animal shelter, in honor of the Late, Great Fat Joey.

Wrap this delightful confection around your neck and just try not to smile! Juicy colors make this hand spun, hand knit scarf a standout in any crowd. Made from banana silk in garter stitch and reversible. If you love candy hearts, Valentine's Day and everything pink, you must add this little beauty to your ensemble.

All of my items are made in a smoke free, pet friendly studio.

As always, a portion of the proceeds from the sale will go to a no-kill animal shelter in Philadelphia, in honor of the Late, Great Fat Joey. You can look fabulous and help your furry friends. Everybody wins!

The best of fashion and Spring combine in this hand knit, light weight accessory. The Daffodil Scarf is made from 100% banana silk, hand spun in Peru and hand knit by me in exotic Newark Delaware, which make it a truly global treasure.

The Daffodil Scarf makes a thoughtful present for a favorite Aunt, girlfriend or bridesmaid and is light enough to wear in the Spring. (you can always say that you made it yourself - we'll never tell!) All Fat Joey Knitwear scarves are made in my smoke free, pet friendly studio.

Save This Dog!

PRINGLES A15622714 Why hello everyone! I’m so glad I have your attention! I am Pringles (A15622714) your favorite potato chip! Oh, excuse me, I mean dog! I am your favorite dog! I am a sweet sassy 1-2 year old girl currently living at ACCT waiting for my forever family. I was found as a stray by a great lady who runs a kittie rescue. She really wanted to take me home because I was so sweet, but unfortunately I probably shouldn’t live with cats. I am a serious wiggle-butt. I love everyone! When I see someone coming towards me I wiggle wiggle wiggle! I love getting pets! I am a pretty energetic young lady and I need someone ready to be energetic with me! I am really really smart! Like super-smart! I learned to roll over in about 10 minutes. I know sit, down, and touch too. I would be an awesome agility dog because I am really smart and really eager to please! I have done great in all my dog meets here at the shelter. I have kind of a silly play style. I play sort of like a boxer, using my front paws a lot. I would need to live with a dog who either had my same play style or was pretty tolerant of me playing that way. As I said, cats are way too interesting for them to like living with me! Since I’m such a playful girl, I probably shouldn’t live with infants or toddlers, but older kids who don’t mind my playfulness would probably love me! If you are interested in adopting or fostering me, please contact my pen pal at ashearin@vet.upenn.edu. Thanks so much for reading about me! http://farm7.staticflickr.com/​6098/​6856721670_eec614c188_z.jpg http://farm7.staticflickr.com/​6102/​7002836497_47519beb60_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/​7236/​6856721776_af350cc013_z.jpg This is just one of the many wonderful dogs in urgent need of adoption, foster care, or rescue at Philadelphia's animal control shelter, ACCT.
